I'm a writer who's optimistic that my current gaslamp/historical fantasy project will be publishable.
Okay, I need a bridge scene here for a transition between these two chapters.
2000 words later... Damn it!
I mean I'm keeping it, but now I have to trim out a bunch of stuff from something further into the story.
Just venting, ignore me 🤣

Window shopping on Amazon for notebooks and trying to figure out what makes a notebook "for men". Does it require a junk print to open?
Excuse me, I have to smash my Johnson into my notebook to open it.

In checking that THE RISE: Tales From The Gulp 3 is all in good order on various online retailers, I noticed that volume 1, THE GULP, is at 4.4/5 on the 'Zon and 4.3/5 on Goodreads. Volume 2, THE FALL, is at 4.7/5 and 4.6/5 respectively. Holy granola, fiends! That's fantastic. Time to try a visit?

If I made an account on one of those sexy ai chatbot sites, could it tell me how to fix my noisy dryer? Could it do it sexily?
Check the pullies step bro, they might have gotten loose. Don't forgot to... Unplug it first.

Going back and fixing things on the story. Present me is cranky at past me. My only hope is that future me appreciates all the effort on putting into this for him.

Talking to someone with a severe case of Walter Mitty is both amazing and amazingly crazy making.
"I dated Kay from Letters to Cleo"
"I'm good friends with Mike Ness"
"I worked for Blackwater and I've got bullets in my body to prove it"
"I have 1,000 guns at home"
"I dated Kim Deal"

Spoke with a pretty right wing person last night and he went on an anti Trump tirade. I was a little shocked but at the same time I'm pretty sure he'd vote for Trump again.
Then he started going on about the "trans genders" and I had to redirect him back to talking about black powder guns.

I'm liking where the new scene I'm writing is going.
Also came up with some ideas for a couple short stores based around other characters in the story. Maybe I could write this up after the novel is finished and publish them cheap or free. Hmmm...

Thinking my next story might have a cassette sci-fi aesthetic. Who doesn't like orange paint and 300 pound computers?

Taking notes on what changes the story needs. Seems to be mostly adding scenes and tweaking existing ones rather than ripping out wires like when I resurrected the story originally from my trash pile.
