Hurm
My WIP has two possible settings, my home town in Aus, or a made up town in Washington State and I'm rather torn. It's an urban fantasy, there's a ghost, water is a huge theme, and either setting could be fun, fish out of water or home that feels changed.
Thoughts? #writing #writingproblems

Good goals!

Mine are:
- Write and finish one book fit for querying
- Write another just because
- Manage my physical and mental health better
- Socialise in person

Good luck!

Watching the richest man in the world throw tantrum after tantrum because his feefees got hurt or whatever prompted this is just endlessly hilarious. He ain't Lex luthor. Lex had dignity.

Ah New Years.
If 2025 isn't better than the year that was, I am punching a deity in the face.
Is this a threat? Am I just engaging in the Norse practice of boasting?

I don't think we wanna find out.

In the meantime, be safe, be well, I've got books to write.

Yulemas eve activities are as follows:
Prepare Pork Roast
Muppet Christmas Carol
Sharpen Knives
Violent Video Games (Far Cry 5)
Read Heavenly Tyrant.

As a tarot and horror nerd, this delights me.

Oooh new ink day. Always a good day when it's new ink day.

Race between the clock between my 9am therapy phone appointment and my packet of curry noodle soup on the stove.
I had a craving.

Shortbread is out of the oven and cooling. The cheeky nibble I had was rather delicious. #omnomnom #baking

Also wish me luck, I'm gonna try making shortbread.

I've never had to cite consumer law to a damn business but here we are.

I absolutely need background noise, usually a long running TV show I've watched before, or at least either ambient soundscapes with music or video game soundtracks.

That's hilarious, I approve.

Uggggghhhhhhhhh.
Urge to feminine rage rising.

Yeah I grew up with that stuff in the 90s, saw a loooot of folks talking about it. That whole female writers get shoved into YA pattern that's still happening it seems. Ick.

It is officially too hot during the day to keep my normal goblin hours. I am tired, and all is ick.
Except for cats. Cats are good.

Eeexcellent choice.
I'll probably continue my Critical Role rewatch. :D

If you don't emerge from the writing cave giddy and potentially covered in ink, are you even doing it right?

This still happens? Oof.

Silver lining, I can now eat the delicious satay chicken waiting for me and tackle the book outline that's staring at me.

Today I learned that saying "Thanks for the order number, can have my receipt now, as required by consumer law" is rude enough to get hung up on.
Which is weird cos if I did that in my last CS job, I would've been written up.
(it did get solved but im never buying there again)

In bad news, insomnia.
In good news, writing.

A terminology proposal:

THANKS I STOLE THEM FROM THE PRESIDENT

Could've tackled housing properly, gambling ads, environmental protections, but noooooo, gotta get them off social media. As if a ban will stop kids at all.

By bending to the right, ignoring actual Australians, refusing to make deals and pass bills that protect and benefit Aussies over businesses. You protect kids by ensuring housing, quality education, resources, support, and you've done fuck all. Shame on you.

I'm Aussie so I fucking hope not.

reported blocked, done did.

The tower is just a problem if you routinely climb towers, common mistake. :P
