I'm very averse to lists and especially to-do apps, they're so oppressive. BUT I decided to give Llama Life a try... and I'm really liking it so far. It's fun, intuitive and very not oppressive honestly.
Thanks to @threehourcoffee.bsky.social for making an awesome thing!

Working from home today and I tossed my hat onto my bed from my desk in the bedroom. What are the chances I’ll ever hit this landing again. I didn’t notice until an hour later too which was anticlimactic.

Nothing is more surprising to me than
finding out someone I have known for years has a family. Like, three years into being friends and you choose now to mention something your mom said!? Then, a year later mention your sister? Next I find out you wear glasses and I don’t even know you anymore.

I love cottage cheese. But…

Recently, I bought the slightly more expensive kind from the store and all I can say is, if that is what people who don’t like it started on then I get it.

Every generation has the same gripes about the next and previous generations.

It's all cyclical with the same competencies & ineptitudes. Sometimes we have a war & sometimes we have a garbage housing market.

It would seem, we are all human and we all have grit.

The Word Count Calculator will tell you how many words should be in each Act, & how many words to each major plot event to help with outlining.

You can tool around with the timeframe & word count to find what feels right for you & create expectations that motivate you & get your story OUT!

For Example:
Want to write an Average length Sci/Fi / Fantasy novel in 365 days?

1. Leave time inputs at their default selections.
2. Click the three buttons & under "Sci-Fi / Fantasy" select Average.
2. Then let the calculator do the rest.

BTW - it's 301 works a day to your first draft completion

Can confirm.

Carmen and the Shadow | E-Book (EPUB) Carmen is called upon by her father’s oldest friend and the leader of the rebellion to embark on an urgent quest to scout a mysterious enemy. As she treks through forests teeming with wonder and dange...

I'm in the mood for more people to read my book. The ebook will be set to $0 and "Pay what you want" for awhile.

It's a fantasy novella about Carmen, a ranger/alchemist, out to find a spy from a dark realm.

There should be a service to screen sarcastic jokes so that I don’t have to triple guess my own genius in the company wide Teams chat.

I’m pretty sure it’s good. But I’m also pretty sure half the office doesn’t know how dry my humor can be.

This reminds me of when we were looking for a van. I wanted to know if it could fit a full sheet of plywood in the back. But all the car places measure the storage space of vans in units of volume. I found myself, more than once, yelling, “but what’s the length and width?”

Inside of a Lenovo computer with the HD and RAM of a MacBook Pro.

So not all too impressive, maybe. It’s the first time I Frankensteined a computer (other than a battery swap b/t 2 ancient yet free MacBook Pros). But, I swapped the ram & HD of a Lenovo IdeaCentre w/ the previously mentioned MacBook Pro.

Popped some Linux on that & named it TychoStation.

I just deleted all of my tweets and deactivated my account. That was a lot of garbage... makes me really think about what I want to post here.
Is it all worth it? Are these platforms necessary? Will this place become taken over by the dregs? Sold to one? Will I delete this twenty years from now?

Fantastic! Thank you
