When I last quit smoking by starting a new job and uprooting my life, I did a Tarot pull and got the Hanged Man reversed
"No. No way. It's wrong."
IT WAS RIGHT. FUCKINNN STAGNANT.
The problem was not just external, it was internal
Today, with all this on my mind, I pulled
the Hanged Man upright
"No. No way. It's wrong."

I just finished edits on a novel where a minor character’s name changed half way through and another character was given two different addresses. This is very, very common and doesn’t reflect badly on the writer, who is great. Everyone needs an editor!
I'm reading a thriller in which one particular character was said to have died (alternately) of late-stage dementia, cancer, and heart failure. Invest in an editor, kids. Trust me.

I'm officially a month without a single cigarette!
I went for a run this morning, ran 2.5x more than I did day 1, with zero wheezing!
My mood has been... erratic, but the lack of brain fog has been amazing and my cravings are infrequent vague glimpses into a parallel universe rather than an itch

The joy of doing your own site with actual HTML like it's the MySpace days is that one day you might randomly come across a one-line fix that fixes a minor issue you had:
You type it in, and it immediately fixes it everywhere. It feels like magic.

I feel like I’ve become afraid of posting lmao.
I’ve become so averse to my little throwaway thoughts being public, every tweet needs to survive the 5 minute Poster’s Remorse Purge
I kind of hate it :/

I just finished the dreaded Witches 3 climax. The first draft is so close to done
I kind of let my life collapse and I'm determined to make it better. So far between No Smoking, Exercise Goals, Writing Goals, it's going amazing
Thank you universe for dropping motivation on me at the right time 🙏

Every three months I need to re-apply the mantra to my anxiety:
"It's probably fine if there are people who think badly of you behind your back. Even if you like them! It truly is not going to make a difference to you, and you have to get off the cross and stop thinking you're so important."

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

This mansion tax is *far* more extensive than the Westminster equivalent, which only kicks in on homes that are £2m+, which are much rarer than homes between £1-2m.
Great news!

The Scottish Government has agreed to both key
@scottishgreens.org tax proposals:
✈️ A new tax on the 12,000 private jet flights taken in Scotland every year
🏰 A 'Mansion Tax' on £1 million+ homes
This will raise millions for services like schools and our NHS.
