Really love waking up terrified at 2am out of the worst nightmare I’ve had in a while. I just feel like I’m in a daze now, not fully connected to reality.

It’s so much more disarming to just allow the first draft to be like…bullet points. Also comic sans, they weren’t lying. Very productive writing in comic sans holy.

Autocorrect just instinctively knew 💀

I’m overriding my fear of the blank page to plot out my book by treating it like I do level design.

The first pass is literally just debug text for each scene that says “thing happens here” and move on. Details will be filled in with later passes/iteration as more assets are created.

DC is a universe where I consistently ship everyone with everyone and somehow they’re all God tier pairings. They’re all compelling in some way.

Lois Lane/Wonder Woman? Yes
Superman/Lex Luthor? Yes
Superman/Wonder woman? Yes
Batman/Catwoman? Yes
Batman/Superman? Inject that shit into my veins yes

What really sucks is that us leaving the internet in opposition is exactly what they want. This passes and they either a) get all our data or b) disrupt our crucial networking and communications
