Just reported an author's video on tik tok in which she threw up the yahtzee salute. My comment calling her out got VCG'd, but her video... "no violations found."
If that doesn't tell you tik tok is changing...

I love the writing community, but I will NEVER support a yahtzee.

Awwwww
Needed that, thank you, dear friend

I count myself very lucky that at least I enjoy the grind. That did use to be true, and I love my job. I just want to have some personal creative freedom again one day. And more time to just give to friends.

I just wish so fervently that I could get out from under the financial stress so I can do things Simply for the happy and the future Maybe of it, for my self and others.

I miss writing my own shit.

Don't get my wrong, I love working on other people's books.

But damn. It feels like the worst kind of homesickness.

Thanks, it's not totally complete, but I really love it.

Oh dear haha!

It really does!

I've seen it once before, and though I don't typically rewatch shows, it just felt necessary and appropriate. Awful, yet hilarious.

So do you nap in the terrible chair or move elsewhere?

Desk with 2 monitors, keyboard, bowl of pasta, Gothic horror goblet of wine, cheese and chocolate, cat, plant, and dog nose sniffing the yum.

All right everyone, show me your coping skills.
I just took a short break to make lunch, watched the Good Place while I cooked, and now I'm sitting back down to work like this.

If you haven't used any coping skills yet today, go do so in the next 30 minutes.

Thanks, getting her full cast on this afternoon between job 1 and job 2 haha

Sunday afternoon -

Me: Woohoo! It's warmish and no threat of school cancelations, I'll finally have a normal, productive week!!

Kid: *breaks arm scootering on dry pavement*

Monday:

Goodness I hope so!

Hahahaha

They have ones that hook up to hot water and have temp control, but our toilets are not next to our sinks, so not an option and YIKES on these 12 degree mornings. Hahahah

I usually love the fact we switched to bidets, but y'all the temp of the water hitting on these ultra cold days...😱😱😱😱

Friendly reminder: Your author colleagues are not competition. They are companions in the trenches. Maintaining strong, positive bonds with them will do far more to uplift your career than tearing them down.

So gross, right?

I love that your tried to open on the T protest as the background. This pop up made me so sad this morning.

Winter burned artichokes looking Awful, being marketed as "frost kissed"

They must be joking 😵‍💫

Thanks, Russell!! Hello Isabella! Happy to answer any questions you might have or just chat!

First you make a roux

Mmm I love cortados!!! Good on you!

I'm hoping so, I'm struggling a lot

I am reading a traditionally-published book from 2004, and the number of typos (mostly homonyms like 'the emergency break' 'she peaked outside' is completely ridiculous.

I love Eve for many reasons. This joyful moment is one of them. Follow Eve on all the social media platforms! :)

I'm asking my Dr about this possibility for the first time in my life tomorrow. Nervous.

Hello hello!!!

@andreatodd.bsky.social Still learning how best to tag and link and hashtag on all the new places.
So excited to have your book!!!
