Closing in on the end of the second draft of my WIP. I managed to come up with a solution to a problem I was having and it’s just so satisfying. Really excited for how it’s turning out #amwriting

Tonight I’m making nuts and bolts because it’s a given for this time of year. However, I also need to plan my baking list so I can start my baking. I just don’t know how much I want to make. I want to do it all.

You don’t write like AI—AI writes like you. Defend the em dash.

I was going to make banana bread but had to look up how heavy my stand mixer is. I can’t lift more than ten pounds right now so now I need to wait for my partner to come home so he can lift it 😭

We put our lights up outside last weekend, but did not plug them in. We intended to wait until at least after Remembrance Day.

Three nights this week, our lights have been plugged in.

Finally spotted the one doing it, and it seems to be a child who is behind it. Still weird, less creepy though.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Tonight, our outdoor Christmas lights were on.

I did not plug them in. Nor did my partner. And yet, they were plugged in and on.

My 17 year old cat spent most of the summer sleeping and now seems determined to spend the fall screaming (mostly for food)

Successful day so far. Got the Covid and flu shots, then voted. Now time for a treat and then back to the word mines

Due to various reasons, I’m missing out on Thanksgiving this year and everyone’s posts about their dinners is giving me some real FOMO

I've been periodically trying to look for work, but it gets more and more soul crushing as time goes on. My old career path seems basically non existent now. So I need to figure out what else I can do and where to even look for jobs at this point. Everything feels so discouraging.

Had to push back about the car accident this week and even though I know it’s the right thing to do it feels bad.

2025 has been a heck of a year and not necessarily a good one. I had hoped to escape the last few months unscathed but a cat shive accident last night had dashed that dream (all the humans are relatively okay at least)

I'm at a section in this story where I need to reveal a piece of information that will essentially kick off a major portion of the plot.
Here's a live look at my brain every time I try to mention exactly what that info is:
a cartoon character named charlie brown is running in a field
Alt: Charlie Brown is running across a field. He reaches Lucy, who pulls the football away just as he is about to kick it. Charlie Brown tumbles through the air for a second before landing on the ground, flat on his back.

Yesterday I got rid of 17,000 words on the current manuscript because something wasn't quite sitting right. Now I get to rework it all. #amwriting
