If you have AI generate your books, then you miss out on the joys of First Draft Cake. Just saying.

Also, it’s stealing and lazy AF.

I used to have a ton of Patriots gear, but that was from years ago. So now Stitch is giving me the colours I need to be a fan today. Go Pats!

I would like to lodge an official complaint against my body. Seriously, I want to speak to the manager. That’s right; my pain is so annoying, I have acheived Karenage! 😳

(I’m having lots of nerve pain stuff today. Blerg.)

I love writing chapter titles. It just makes me happy!

I’m so sorry! I’m an editor. The struggle is real!

I never bought anything from lululemon, and now that I’ve seen those brown and red uniforms, I can’t wait to continue not buying anything from them. 😳

I’m not going to say that I “laughed hysterically” anymore. Instead, I’ll say, “I laughed from the depths of my uterus.”

It just feels more medically accurate.😉

The 50something female protagonist in my upcoming space-opera romcom is autistic and disabled. There is such a freedom that comes with putting myself so much into a character and how I would probably respond in the same situation. It’s unbelievably liberating to be that unmasked while writing.

Still sore, still recovering. Put a massive turkey stew in the slow cooker.

I have physio tomorrow, super early. So, I won’t be able to be online for most of the week.

Completed my second floral LEGO build. I love how amazing both floral arrangements look on either side of the original painting by author and artist, Jamieson Wolf.

Completed the orchid LEGO kit. It’s so pretty in person!

Taking some time to recover. Physio on Monday. In the meantime, I’m building an orchid from a Lego kit.

In other news, I seem incapable of writing a standalone novel. 😳

I’m just so upset about Catherine O’Hara. She was so full of awesome. Her comedic timing was unbelievable. I also feel bad for Eugene Levy, because they were such great comedic partners.

A4: I have physio next week, so I’ll be taking the entire week off to recover. So, my plan is to rest and watch comfort shows and read. #WeeknightWriters
Q4: What can you do in the next week to make your life a little more pleasant? #WeeknightWriters

A3: I really love being an editor. It’s a great distraction from all the things. And my latest WIP makes me laugh. #WeeknightWriters
Q3: Let's cheer things up a bit! What has brought you joy in the past week? Remember, no joy is too small! #WeeknightWriters

A2: There’s a lot going on with aging parentals right now. And helping from another province is really challenging. My brain feels so fried by the time I go to bed each night. #WeeknightWriters
Q2: Is there anything specific you're struggling with this week? Let us know about it and we'll see what we can do to help! #WeeknightWriters

Hi, #WeeknightWriters ! I’m 🐱, and I arrange the alphabet for a career! My latest WIP is so close to beta-edit ready!!! Yes, Hot Wings and Sauciness is the anti-capitalism, anti-ableism, space-opera romcom that nobody asked for! Featuring the meet-awkward of the 25th century! Woo!

So, regarding folks who complain about the new autistic Barbie: What’s the main point of Barbie? You can dress her up, make her accessories, build her a home, and do whatever you want. You get to play. I might make mine a similar fuzzy blanket that I use. And other things I like to stim with.

Ya know, maybe certain someones might want to shift their focus away from “curing autism” to researching why so many people are joining political cults keen on causing harm. This autistic gal has a hyper-interest in finding a cure for that and bringing back wisdom and reasoning into this world.
