I started thinking about writing hours ago. Watched a video on it. And finally.. broke through being able to sit with my thoughts in silence and make some plotting progress.
It’s not much progress, but it’s mine.

Why does maintaining boundaries with my mother always result in me feeling like the absolute worst human being in the world? 😭

Just had a moment of intense anxiety as a coworker said the exact same thing to me as a previous horrible, horrible coworker used to do to me regularly.
I guess that’s a trauma reaction.. but wow did that make my whole body react.
So glad I’m out of that toxic environment.

Today is the day I randomly decided to watch the movie Masters of the Universe.
I had, until that moment, not known it was a He-Man movie 🫣🤣

Does anyone else ever come across a writer in the wild (who you haven’t shared that you also write), and quietly compare yourself to them? Just me?
I know comparison isn’t good. But I also can’t help it 😢

I dream of being financially stable and being able to write full time.
I don’t think it’ll ever happen.. but I’ll still keep dreaming, keep working the day job, and keep writing. ❤️

I don’t have my face on my profile because I have some very stalker-y former coworkers, and I’d like to not censor myself which had become my default. My other social media had become a horrible cage. No more! NO MORE!!

Perhaps this is a “me” issue.. but I always thought Murderbot was androgynous (and I even saw MB as compact, muscled and vaguely female)? I love Alexander Skarsgård, but he is certainly not that!

I work for a non-profit (and like many, I feel like I’m on the chopping block) and I am trying to distract myself by trying to do some brainstorming for my next book.
It’s not working and I am so frustrated. 😢

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Trying to give myself permission to plot a new novel. Crippling self-doubt is rearing its ugly head.
Some days.. all I can do is try.

The woman who is “slow retiring”, and whose role I am now in, just came in unexpectedly today, after skipping our last training last Friday. She plunked her laptop on my desk. “This is for you.” And walked out.
I know she wants to retire and be done, but ugh she is being a bit of a shit about it.

One thing I'm finding useful right now is to not ask "what needs to be done" or "what are the problems," because that's too overwhelming, but instead to ask "what are my resources" and to focus on things that I'm uniquely suited to do. (1/?)

Not a day, an hour, a minute, goes by without me thinking about my cat, who passed away a few months ago (he was 16, and lived a good life, I think). Give your fur babies all the love for me ❤️
