1816 words yesterday, 3681 today, and I hit the hard cap so I have to stop. The hard cap has been 8900 for a few weeks but this is the first time I've hit it at that level since the home stretch on CPTE in late 2021.

I'm not sure if this is quite the home stretch on Hera, which is now 75% finished. but it's flow-y and enjoyable and everything #writng should be even if I end up completely exhausted afterward. And I'm encouraged that each week I can manage more productivity before the wipeout.

Are you saying what you want to say?

When you say, "I analyze, investigate, examine, and interrogate the relationship between...," is there a meaningful difference between those verbs, or are you saying the same thing 4x?

My bet is that, with no additional objects specified, you're saying the same thing over & over. Eliminate or consolidate, or else critically evaluate the distinctions you were making and spell them out for us.

Finally! My little writing corner is sorted. Bow the rest of the room. #Writng #writerdon #write

To know how my brain works just watch Neil Jordan's 1984 film: The Company of Wolves.

It's like he cut me open and put it all on screen.
The greatest fantasy film ever made IMHO.

#NaNoWriMo day 25:

Perhaps this is the time when you're doubting yourself, whether or not you have the ability to finish.

If you don't keep going, you'll never know, so keep going! Do your best! If you don't reach the goal, who cares? You have more words than you did before!

I have been struggling to write reviews for my blog, for various reasons. This morning, I am getting down to it. I intend to press publish later. It's likely to be a bit scrappy, but at least the laptop is open. #Blogging #BookReviews #Books #Writng

Today's unsolicited #Writng advice: too much coffee is as bad as too little coffee. In possibly related news, my bathroom is VERY clean.

I haven't been in this trying to get stories published game for very long, but
'will not respond in the case of rejection'
is absolutely the most crimson of flags for me. Like, how you gonna treat the people who fill your publication like that. #Writng

Dark divinity
I lose my brokenness within the shadow of those parts of my soul that I deny

I piece my shards together
into a new pattern
and see within
the reflected light of all that is sacred

then I know
the grief I had felt
had been gratitude’s twin
all along

I have added more story ideas to the #WNVUniverse project. I wrote some of them years ago. Maybe someone can build on top of them or add their own ideas.

Anyone is welcome to contribute to the project.
