Well, I've been trying to work on a stubborn plot point that needed some fixing in the novel, and it literally just came to me while I was thinking about something else. This creativity stuff is BONKERS. #writing

Figure skating might have the quad god, but I have the spinner winner. #cats #blackcat

TikTok is literally for stupid people, I think. Because you see idiotic stuff like this all the time. It takes a few minutes to hand wash in the sink with hot water and soap. Then you can air dry over night or use the blow dryer if you're in a hurry. Like WTF is this?

Had to rearrange my San Francisco plans in October because of Fleet Week...oops, forgot to check on special events before I booked my hotels. Just rearranged my days to avoid Friday crowds near the pier, and I fly out that Saturday, so I should, HOPEFULLY, miss most of the crowds.

I always read it out loud because that really helps figure out what needs to be fixed if it doesn't read naturally.

Oh, hello.

Rental Family is on Hulu now. Go watch it. It's so beautiful and heart breaking and heart warming.

That's beautiful!

Oh no. I've become someone who eats cottage cheese. What is happening to me?!?!?

I also HATE HATE HATE the French tuck thing because if you have any kind of belly, it looks awful, so stop telling me to do that with longer tees. I HATE how that looks on me. Just give me a tee that isn't so long!!!

Rant time: why are women's t-shirts so dang long? I have a short torso so tees never look right on me because they hit too low, but not low enough to pair with leggings, and I hate it. I have maybe 3 t-shirts that I'm happy with the length with, and I don't want to have to alter them, dang it.

I need to post some photos, but I started a new playthrough of Dragon Age Veilguard and somehow my characters both ended up looking alike, but with just different hair color and hairstyles. HOW DID I DO THAT? I've tried tweaking the new character, but I guess, I have a type?

I'm pretty sure you can't be a writer if you don't do any actual writing.

I've decided that I'm going to remake parts of my Sera cosplay (from Dragon Age: Inquisition). It was one of my first bigger builds (with the leather armor), so I look forward to revisiting it with new skills. Meanwhile, still working on my Mass Effect armor build.

Me trying to explain to work why I'm always distracted. Binx is SO goofy and adorable and distracting. #cats #catsofbluesky #blackcat

Y'all. Samantha Brown responded to a comment I made on Facebook and I'm freaking out. Like...she's the reason I got the travel bug and why I finally started making those trips across the ocean. Everything I know about travel, I learned from her. I'm a better person because of that.

I lied. I'm watching the women's figure skating short program. I couldn't stay away.

So pretty!!!

I'm not watching any more figure skating Olympics events. The men's free skate traumatized me. I can't do that again.

I started my Dragon Age Veilguard replay, which makes me even angrier at the clunky mess that is Baldur's Gate 3.

No. I paid a lot more and still owe. I'm struggling to pay my taxes as a contractor. 😡

Someone got a taste of whipped cream, but I have no idea who... #cats #torties

I use an app called HelloHabit and I've got it set up for my writing sprints, but you can also set it up for all sorts of other things, like cleaning. The app has timers, reminders at certain times, schedules, and more.

Spent the morning painting, and then getting frustrated, ruining the spats for my Hera costume, and now I have to remake them. Cosplay is a mood, and it's always not a good one! LOL #cosplay #cosplayproblems

I just leveled up my Patreon and added a new tier. Things are about to get super exciting over there, and I need to feed my feline overlords, so please, help an indie author out!

I was going to start a new video game, but I think it's time to revisit Dragon Age: Veilguard. I have ideas for my next character...and Emmerich.

YAY!
