Paradiso Prologue
This is just the first draft, but I’m so proud of this part of Paradiso. It really sets the stage for everything that’s coming next, and I made a few breakthroughs while I wrote it that…

This is so panic-inducing to do this, but ... here's the prologue from my work-in-progress 😬

Talent has actually made me quit certain things bc I wasn’t immediately an expert at it & same: I had no idea how to practice instead of just Create Masterpiece & have spent the last five years fixing that
Still a perfectionist but I have gotten better

In my experience, talent is a *detriment* to learning.
I didn't have to practice early on so I *didn't know how*. I didn't start to learn how to practice until my 30s! (When much of my life was taken up with parenting, so I didn't have time!)
I didn't start to improve as a musician until my 40s!

I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark
talent alone could *never*

I officially started using Scrivener again & now that I like KNOW how to use the damn thing, I'm really appreciating it. It's still going to take some time to get used to, seeing as I've been using Proton Drive for a while, but things are looking up for Paradiso

Oooh okay, so one POV char is fed intentionally incorrect information that ultimately results in him attempting to arrest his lover; he feels betrayed & confused & would be successful in apprehending his lover if she doesn't shoot out the tires in his car. Such a raw scene!

It's so hard to discuss anything because the main story is one giant mass of interconnected mysteries, with each POV character having portions of it, so I usually try to focus on the themes instead of plot whenever I talk about it

Alright, I'm going to stop my perpetual marathon of MST3K/RiffTrax and watch a movie I've never seen before. I don't think I want anything too drama-y, so maybe a comedy or action flick? #FilmSky #whattowatch

I've done almost nothing today except sit around & elevate my knee or ice the fuck out of it. After all, I'm working 12 hours tomorrow & most of it will likely be on my feet #nurselife #oldage

In other old person news, my left knee is swollen,stiff, and clicks whenever I squat or do lunges, so it looks like I’ll be taking a few days off from lower body lifting

3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Got my physical and labwork appointment scheduled for next week! This whole moving thing is actually HAPPENING & I was not expecting it to advance so quickly, especially considering my soon-to-be employer's sloth-like reputation

My ridiculous little orange cat Letterkenny has made it his life's mission to get onto the deck as many times as kittenly possible & he squeals happily every time he does it. I need to get a video of it as proof but he's such a quick little fucker!

Christopher Nolan should have cast Helen of Troy the way the Greeks would have: by casting the most attractive young man in the company and giving him a really fuckable porcelain mask.
Having a WOMAN play Helen of Troy??? Talk about inaccurate. The Greeks would fucking riot.
