I need to be more disciplined. The best I've done was to knock out a flash fiction story in an afternoon. The most recent story I wrote took over a month.

Been in my TBR for more years than I want to admit.

I run hot and cold with my writing. Might go days without writing a sentence and then spend 6 hours at it

Nice touch including the playlist

That song 'We're Not Gonna Take It" came out almost 40 years ago but I feel like we have, in fact, continued to take it.

Congrats

Me in the 90s.

I loved the medieval sections. My only complaint was that she didn't anticipate how ubiquitous cellphones would become when she wrote the book. In the 2044 sections, there was too many frantic missed calls and phone tag with land lines. Have both "Blackout" and "All Clear" in my TBR

One of my favorite bands

I’ve done that a few times: sat down and forced myself to write, knowing it’s crap, but also knowing I can go back and revise it later

Rosie summed it up in the movie Beautiful Girls:

I never got heroin-chic or "consumptive beauty." Like the saying goes: real women have curves.

They definitely channel the B-52s on a lot of their songs. There’s a welcome goofiness to them.

Dungeon Crawler Carl

Great book. I'm currently reading Dungeon Crawler Carl

I've read several of her books and this one is my favorite so far.

He definitely started out as a villain, but got more sympathetic (or at least painted in more shades of grey) over the seasons

good one
