Us.

we are at 14.9k in the re-type and on track to do all 92k in March🥳

the same number of notebook pages was estimated to be 14.1k, so my handwritten word count equation accuracy is holding somewhat steady

She's going to save the world, Robin

i think eventually we're all just gonna have to come to terms with the fact that it's impossible to tell a story with any degree of subtlety or nuance without risking a portion of the audience taking the "wrong message", and that's ok. art isn't meant to be strictly a teaching tool, and if you're goal is just to convince people or critique an idea, just write an essay or a polemic people taking the "wrong message" from a story isn't a failure of that story, it's a function of art itself

took me a second to find this but here it is.

anyway, full speed ahead!

blocked blocked blocked they can all get ✨blocked✨

sorry you woke up to some bullshit

i just gotta keep chugging along😭

Even with Wesley’s body to absorb the impact, the fall knocked the breath out of Owen. He rolled off Wesley’s chest to lie on his back, choking on the frosty air. Kenzie leaned out of the broken window, looking down on them with lamp light shining through her hair and limning her silhouette in gold even as her face fell into shadow. The distance from the ground to the window was not so great. They could have called out to one another, like Juliet and her stupid Romeo. But she never opened her mouth. And as Owen staggered upright and took the lead in the direction of the parking lot, she straightened her arm and pointed her index and middle fingers at Wesley, thumb cocked out.

she is going to Get Him

400 more words and i'll hit my re-type goal for the day

Sam hadn’t killed anyone. Well. He had. Four-hundred and ninety-six, his traitorous brain reminded him. He’d looked into people’s eyes, out of sight in some roost, and snuffed out lives he’d never meet. When he could, though his victims would never know, he’d spend their final breaths with them. Watched their lips turn blue, bodies becoming one with the refuse littering Lafayette’s ruined streets. But he hadn’t killed them. Right? His lungs were caught on some obstacle no amount of gasping could dislodge. Sam curled on his not-quite-cell’s floor, forgotten in solitary like corpses on Lafayette’s streets. Each day bled together, isolation interrupted by occasional interrogations. Sam couldn’t decide which was worse, days of isolation, or hours long questionings and medical exams. He couldn’t stand another second alone, but he’d run out of ways to say; I don’t know, when asked how he’d survived. He felt caught in a jellyfish’s iridescent tendrils, a guppy in a cloud of guppies. Sam shut

JUDGMENT, my upcoming Sci-thriller novel ft. alt-universe particle physics and corporate espionage constantly reminds my MC Sam "Things can always get worse" And this is still chapter one 🤭

girl call in sick😭

i hit 2k! which is my usual morning goal and probably the max i can do before 7am and i should just accept it. i'll stick to the original plan of knocking out another 1k while the kids nap. coffee revived me anyway, might not need a nap

no wipsnips today but i have a good one for tomorrow.😘

i think i got to 2k!!❤️
3k might have been too lofty a goal for less than 2 hours😅

i wonder if i can blast through the entire day's quota of 3k in the #Dogwood2 retype in 1 big sesh this morning and then take a nap at noon 🫠🤣 let's goooooo

Daisy wears nice dresses and even gloves. Very southern belle coded (though the story is not set in the south).

By irl standards, Ash and Rowan's style would be understated but fashionable. They lean towards slim fitting jeans and nice shirts, usually with subtle patterns. Wearing light-colored, delicate fabrics in Swallowsaw is flexing your easy access to new clothes and a washing machine. #AwesomeCharacters

owen and kenzie. caption: "i could fix him." please don't it took a lot of work to fuck him up this bad.

kenzie. caption: 99% of repressors give up right before they successfully don't feel anything. don't stop shoving it down. you can get through this unscathed.

Wesley. Caption: i've fucked guys i should've shot in the head.

more #Dogwoodmemes 🤠

Owen and Kenze. "big fan of codependency that edges towards illness. very big fan of 2 people unable to function correctly without the other close, whether in sight or touch. absolutely huge fan of sick individuals who should not be separated. ever. or something horrible happens."

Rowan Donovan. Caption: "are you a freak?" no i'm actually disgusted by the things i've done to try and feel loved.

Wesley and Rowan. Caption: character dynamic that's like "they weren't in a relationship but they're definitely exes now."

Wesley. Caption: a lot of you are insane and annoying but not in a fun sexy way like i am.

A portrait of two men, Galen and Sasha, standing next to each other in a medieval city. Galen is short with long auburn hair that is pulled back into a bun at the base of his neck. He has hazel eyes and tan skin, as well as a large burn scar that covers much of his left cheek and down his neck. He is wearing a bright yellow tunic with brown pants and shoes. He has a light linen satchel and is wearing a pink, flower shaped pendant. In his lifted hand, pink magic glows. He looks worried. Sasha is very tall with short cropped light brown hair. He has pale skin and dark brown eyes. He is wearing leather armor with green clothing underneath it, as well as brown boots. He has a dagger at his waist and a sword in his hand. He looks annoyed and pissed off A tumblr post is overlaid which reads: "Thank you for engaging in the mortifying ordeal of being known so that I may partake in the euphoric experience of knowing you."
