Reposting in a few places: Looking for a developmental editor for a novel. #Writers, any recommendations on where to start?

I'd fight with you. I'm scrappy.

Sure thing, I'll order as many prescriptions and DME items that are available for reorder out of abject FEAR of what's coming. Don't mind if I doooooooooo.

I take this waaaaaay to literally: my hoodie covers my insulin pump.

Looking for a recommendation: A custom printing company to produce bags, mugs, etc. with logo on them. Can anyone recommend a site they like with products that are high-quality?

Definitely binged The Good Place during treadmill workouts for the last few weeks. That last episode is a tear-jerker, which is awkward while running. Moved on to another re-watch: Workin' Moms. All the comfort, all the time these days.

This.

My teenager has been reading the new book I'm working on, checking out the new pages as they're drafted. I know she's super biased but having her tell me she can't wait to find out what happens next is THE BEST FEELING. #writing

Stuff you should know. #bowser

Still querying agents as a way of disassociating and not reading the news. (But getting whiffs of the news and it's all not good. Nooooooooot good.)

Stretching out the nooooooot to make it sound like Pingu said it.

Jumping into that nap machine from Interstellar would be awesome right now. Maybe for a few years. Four, or eight, depending.

In the query zone, actively seeking representation for my novel. Aside from Query Tracker (already using it) and general research for agents taking on debut authors, how are writers finding and tracking agent submissions? #writing

I don't know where to look. Please provide distraction or REBELLION.

Happy New ... whatever the fuck is happening now.

Wait, I had no idea that gif would end with a sportsball reference. I am entirely clueless about that gif, outside the Elf part.

No holiday cards sent out this year. No gingerbread house party. No cookie swap. I can't muster the Christmas Magic this year. Just can't do it.

... I will watch Elf, though.

Hi! I did write SixUntilMe! Nice to meet you, and I'm so glad the blog was helpful to you during that time. <3

Pre-Holiday Thought Salad But it's a salad with crunchy bits, like pepitas. Hot damn, I love pepitas.

The one about bass shoes and the horse mug.

Is this a Connected in Motion Slipstream? Their org is the best!!

Outlining a new book idea. Saying it here (and on Threads because I can't figure out where I'm supposed to be posting the mosting) to make myself finish it.

Jokes about illness -- check.

I just bought a 2025 planner. Which means my life will now have meaning and all my problems will be solved.

holy shit

So careful. So curated.

How dare my FitBit app tell me my daily readiness is high. I am not ready for this day.

Yes, I love the diabetes community and I also love the Zelda community. If Link wore an insulin pump, I'd be a FAN.

Finished Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Quality linear 2D Zelda game — took a few weeks of casual play. Any other Switch games you’d recommend? Zelda is my favorite series, Stardew is cozy (good for disassociating), and I thought Mario Odessey was fun. Wish Wind Waker was on NSO.

Working to post here instead of other places. I want one socmed to rule them all.

The 4 am low blood sugar (and squealing CGM alarms for all the house to hear) rolled right into the 5.30 am wake up time for the high schooler and now it's been 84 years ...

I wish I could say "what the fuck" like I was honestly surprised, but I'm not. Nothing about any of this is surprising, and it is all very much what the fuck.
