SIXTY THOUSAND on my manuscript! At worst, it is *66.6%* complete. At best, it is *80%* complete.

AAAAAA I'm getting there guys! I'm getting there! #writingcommunity #writingsky #booksky

I can't over the grossness of his facial expressions.
How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

I've eaten like 800 calories today and run 2 games of D&D, 4 hours each, back to back.

It's time to place an order for delivery and consume 1400 calories in one go.

Jeff Jarrett needs to be a good best friend and make this happen.
I've had a brilliant few years ring announcing.

You know what I'd love to do, though?

Announce a match on AEW's UK tour in December.

HERE'S WHAT I DO! Putting it out there into the universe!

Was very down yesterday, exhausted from running 2 D&D games on Sunday.

Today has been a great turnabout with a proper workout and 900 words written towards my manuscript.

Made a video last week about crossing 50k words but BlueSky won't let me post it.

Dispatch is an awesome game that clearly has had a lot of love and effort put into it. I finished it last week but this week I'm obsessing over the music. What a selection of songs!

“hey hangman you promised us pics of plants, this is just a bunch of leaves what gives?” newsflash dumbass, leaves IS plants. leaves provide winter shelter for insects like lightning bugs and butterflies, fertilize the soil, and are a pain in the ass to move anyway so just leave them where you can

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.

Excellent piece that I'm going to be sharing with a lot of people who think they know marketing.

Lots of advice for me to implement as well, if I can stop being so precious with my skeets and Substack and all that.

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Just finished writing today's session. 866 words today, 5102 this week. Novel at 47k.

Unreasonably excited to hit that 50k next week.

Writing romance feels so weird. Feels like picking up two dolls and saying, "now kiss".

Just a matter of practice I guess. Eventually I'll be having dolls kissing all over the place. #writingcommunity #writingsky #booksky

Manuscript crossed 45000 words today. Was feeling a bit of friction in writing so rearranged the outline yesterday and instantly became unstuck. ~60% of the way there now?! Unbelievable.

I could write, but why write when the bed is inviting me at 3pm on a Monday? Let's take a nap.
