Me: this is great because Becca is a professional editor AND knows nothing about hockey, so she can tell me if things don't make sense

Me: what is Becca getting out of this

I did the math:

1.5k/week = 20 weeks
1k/week = 30 weeks
1.5k/5 days/week = 4 weeks
1k/5 days/week = 6 weeks

Anyway we bumped writer's club to two days a week instead of once a week, starting next week. Becca and I are going to swap drafts when we hit specific goals.

Writer's club is coming along (finally hit 50k, goal is 75-80k) despite one of the cats SABOTAGING me all night by trying to steal and/or climb inside a whole bag of chips and getting mad at me every time I stopped her

we pretty much just are silent unless we need help. The idea is to keep each other accountable and write for 1-2 hours

mondays at 8 in the general voice chat!

#AmReWriting, added 1,500ish words to the draft today (after removing many) and finally hit 59k! The goal is ~75kish and Becca and I have reinstated writer's club, which will help a lot.

I moved, I got hella sick, and I am BACK AT IT.

anyway if you're wondering why I vanished off the internet on this account, it's because all I've done since october is look at places / buy a place / declutter / pack / disassemble furniture etc etc etc

and I read 426 books in 2024, so there is that, too

I am not moving _far_, but the last time I moved was 14 years ago and it was a lot cheaper and easier back then. Also, I have accumulated Too Much Stuff. I've gotten rid of so much and YET.

Hi it's me, the person who decided to move house during Awesome Games Done Quick and won't have internet for several hours in the middle of it, anxiously reading the schedule like "THERE BETTER NOT BE A ZELDA DURING MY MOVE"

For some reason there is a ferris wheel and a merry go round in yonge dundas square???

bring back rizzoli and isles

Since I am moving I didn't want to have the niblings' presents sent to my place, so I shipped them to mom and said she could hand them off (wrapped) to my sister.
Mom: no, (eldest kiddo) snoops and is not subtle

Goodreads 2024 reading challenge Congrats! You have read 400 books of your goal of 100! 400%

It is not even December yet, but guess what? I've read 400 books and counting this year alone.

I mean we did writer's club, too, so I wrote some. And then I rewarded myself with a t-rex.

jesse 3D-printed me a build-your-own glow in the dark t-rex skeleton which is obvi how I have spent most of tonight

Torn between the future and the present where the future is me delighted I get to eat salmon all week and the present is my whole apartment smells like fish

802 words today! #AmWriting #AmRewriting

494 net words today (deleted a bunch; added some). I'm about halfway through the original draft and my notes section at the end is just things to add like [redacted] and a [redacted]. #AmWriting

make it 1,362 words--I had to do the most wild scene before bed

I have ~44k words in the initial draft and need to add another 15-20k before I feel comfortable handing it over to my agent for a first look! But we are officially back on our bullshit!! #AmWriting

Becca and I have officially started writer's club AKA discord voice chat for help/support/accountability as we work on our individual books. I added 1,040 words to the new hockey romance tonight (and deleted a bunch, too).

Hello, Open AI. This skeet was a prophetic warning, not a business model.

I have so much internal rage at people who can’t decide what they want before they get to the counter and also can’t order efficiently. Get it together!!

I slacked off on wanikani all long weekend in favour of reading so today I did 400+ reviews in one sitting!! I still have 15 lessons but that feels like a tomorrow problem.

Two of my friends are in Japan right now on vacation and I’m SO JEALOUS

I had a dental cleaning today and, because I am allergic to mint, they use cherry polish and orange fluoride.
Me: do most people ask for 2x mint?
Hygienist: haha yeah, because it's so fresh and clean tasting!
Me: ah, it always tasted like spicy pain and burning to me
Me: I will take the fruit punch
