Today I did 5 hours of volunteer work, walked the dog twice, cleaned the cat boxes, the house is spotless, and now I am doing laundry.
Yet I'm feeling guilty for not getting any work (writing) done. Why am I like this?

I am going to finally write my book proposal and if I ever worry my writing and reporting is not good enough, I will re-read passages like this and once again be powered by spite and reassurance I definitely care enough to not write like this.
Only 17 pages in and I am winded.
This passage, folks… Don’t ever write like this. Just don’t do it.

it killed my writing career for two years and the aimlessness and drifting and inertia i built up in that lull has not abated. i am still lost. i am still uncertain. i am still sad and angry and afraid.

I am very happy to not be repeating the AI class I did in fall 2023, but this is the first piece of AI-themed writing that made me laugh so hard I almost wish I could put it on the syllabus.

I am so exhausted by being constantly bombarded by AI at every turn, not only on social media, but now at my workplace. I guess the recent conversations about AI in my writing group were sort of the breaking point and made me go off a little 😂

Writing about the 'parent penalty', i.e. parents are typically more stressed/unhappy than non-parents
One rare country where this doesn't occur is Portugal
I'm *not* saying it's significant that parents are much happier in a country that decriminalised drugs
But I *am* thinking it pretty hard...

Please go into a barn and try to wipe quarter inch thick barn dust off of something before writing about it, I am autistic and am trying to work to an audiobook, not rant.

i am not sure if anyone is interested but i am always down to (try and) answer questions about writing!!
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

My PhD rests on some well-known linear algebra, around which I am writing a wrapper. It has evolved with my needs, but for some months now, others have been using it, and I begin to feel the pressure to maintain. I plan to set aside a block of 4h per week, otherwise things will simply not get done 🔭
