Doing revisions is so much faster than just writing. My writing goal is usually 2,000 words/day. I knocked out 11,000 today on draft 3 of Heliruna. Revisions suck but they go by much faster than first drafting.

This is what RFK Jr's anti-health policies are speedrunning us back towards.
I was a NICU baby. I am alive because of the advancements made to infant childcare in the last hundred years. Anti-vax baby killers like RFK Jr are evil, plain and simple. The "pro life" party is supporting dead babies.

The 1911 census outright asked people to tabulate their living and dead children. Just out and asked it right there. Seven of my eight great-grandparents lost siblings in infancy.

It wasn't supposed to snow more today but it currently is. I suppose that's what I get for moving back to Colorado. Spending the day working on my book inside where it's warm anyways.

Fuck you of you think trans rights should be sacrificed "for the good of democracy".
The anti democracy machine is the anti-trans machine. Get that through your skulls.

I have jokingly said my goal word count for every book is 69,420. Well now I'm working on the third draft for "Heliruna" and my projected word count is awful close to 69,420... I might just have to go for it. 🤣

I mean "The Woods" does take place in the woods, but a better title might be "Some Of You Will Die, But That Is A Sacrifice I Am Willing To Make". Or "Don't Get Attached To Anyone".
My WIP, "Heliruna", would be called "High School Love Triangle Drama But One Of Them's A Ghost".

What would your book be titled?
My WIP would be: A Dark and Stormy Night when a Lady Burglar and a Miller's Daughter's Fall in Love and Bury Several White Men Who Was Mildly Inconvenient to Their Existence

I got another warning on my Reddit account for "violent threats". This time it was from describing one of the kills in my book. If my horror author account gets taken down for violent content on Reddit because of kills I wrote in a slasher novel, I will wear it as a badge of honor.

I took this picture of my Jeep from about a thousand feet away while my phone was on 0% battery so it wouldn't focus and it turned out kinda fuzzy and grainy and tbh it's an aesthetic.

These corporations need to learn how to advertise to millennials/zoomers. If you interrupt my show mid-sentence to advertise your stupid paper towels to me, I will go out of my way to buy every brand of paper towels EXCEPT yours for the rest of my life.

In positive news, there's something truly magical about the snow. I just took like a two mile walk and it's completely silent and light outside at 10 pm. You'd never guess I live in the 40th largest city in the country.

I visited these nearly 900 year old cliff dwellings today. So magical. Montezuma Castle National Monument. Loved being able to see the wooden beams.

When this is all over, the American people need to realize that the democrats are and have always been a center-right party, form a new party to the left of them, and never let anyone further right than Chuck Schumer into a position of power again.

Every Democrat that ever voted to extend the PATRIOT Act is at least partially responsible for this btw.
"the federal government now openly says it will use its supercharged spy capabilities to target people who oppose ICE’s actions. Labeled as “domestic terrorists” by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them"
