Stuck in a scene? Do what the pros do: use brackets. Write what the story beat is:

[Our hero gets out of the fight through clever means]

Then just keep writing what happens after. Maintaining momentum is key to getting the most words on the page. Meanwhile solutions often present themselves later.

Coffee’s poured. Eyes are stapled open. Let’s get world building.

It’s the Twin planet theory that gets me going

On tonight’s viewing pleasure: KAOS. Accompanied by a very large bottle of margarita.

@garethlpowell.bsky.social if you’ve not seen it already I recommend Scavengers Reign on Netflix.

Thought it may interest you.

Bored out of my skull. Nothing’s keeping my attention at the minute.

Loved every minute of Deadpool and Wolverine. The ultimate love letter to the Marvel universe.

If it’s rewriting does that count towards your word count? Because if so I’m up for the week 😅

I have discovered Schmigadoon

Next!

Almost 4000 words done. Few hundred more to go before I can rest.
Dear god, how I need it.

You joke but Joe you now have to to do. I’m talking full beard. Unleash your inner caveman. Because the image I have in my head is something more akin to Thundercats and I’ve got to I see it!

Oh great the sun and warm weather are back along with the buzzy things.

If you’ll excuse me, this hairy blonde-ginger is going to find somewhere cold and dark to hide.

And draped in Tardis blue.

Tomorrow. Me. 3000 words.

I got this.

Possibly PVC with sinister undertones

Do you mind me asking where you’re looking to find them?

Latest episode of X-Men 97 has broke me. Every bloody emotion in that episode.

Only thing you’re missing is furniture made of mahogany and aftershave that smells like sandlewood

You’re in for a treat. They had me at the intro.

Lord of the Rings soundtrack is on.

Time to get writing.

That is top-tier quitting

And tonight it’s all about the 3 Body Problem.

It’s a start. Curiosity leads me to think how this will evolve over time, or whether it will. I think we’re a while off from the Three Laws
