Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit.
And I don't think you're ready to quit

Writing lecture keeping me sane. Itโs been a heavy week, mentally, & itโs been difficult to focus on nearly anything. Still recovering slowly from some personal issues, but Iโm trying to put those emotions into my stories.
Hope your weeks are going well. ๐

...definitely love to see more in the future. This story had so many ways it could go, and I wanted it to be better, but there were perhaps too many elements distracting the average viewer from the main story. Keep making movies that showcase trans folks' stories. They matter. Period. ๐

...That doesn't make it okay to put it on a pedestal above movies that are clearly better. Anyone can have a good story idea. What people care about is the end result, and this, to me, was not something I can say deserves an Oscar, except perhaps with the individual actors. I would...

Adding to my thoughts on #EmiliaPerez: I have my issues with the #AcademyAwards in general. Regardless of the story's importance and its flair, the overall result was not up to par with many of the movies given the same nominations. It made its impact to open more doors for the trans community...
29.01.2025 22:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I finally watched #EmiliaPerez last night. IMO it's not as bad as people think. It definitely had no reason being a musical. The songs were short and unmemorable; added nothing to the progression of the story. It had potential, the story was interesting, but the overall execution was lacking.

Claiming he deserves credit when it's obvious ploy using peoples' frustrations with social media and free speech is over apologetic IMO. I don't think he necessarily supports him, but keep an eye out, y'all.

I โจhighlyโจ recommend this course from #BrandonSanderson. It's his class at BYU & it's free. I'm really enjoying it and it's already improving how I approach my novels. ๐

I haven't been as active on here as I initially thought I'd be, but that's par for the course. I tend to be a reposter on insta & tiktok. Plus, my early days on twitter were during a time I probably did that too much, thinking I knew everything. Lol
Hi, again, Bluesky! ๐ฅฐ
It was never just another app.
It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

Yeah, I feel like Iโm focusing too much on โwhat chapter is this?โ When I should maybe place them where they kinda go & see how they connect over time ๐ค. I make an outline on my computer but I do it with sticky notes too so itโs more flexible, bc otherwise I get stuck with the appโs limitations.

Went well that day but now Iโm dealing with my mental health. I wonโt meet my word count goal for the month but my work has helped me keep to a much better routine. Right now, Iโm working more on my outline bc I did get a little stuck at one point. Progress is progress. ๐ฅฐ
