3 Good Things, evening of Tuesday...

1. I have good people helping me. Always important to remind myself of that.
2. Digging this Indian Chill playlist on Spotify right now. Fits my mood.
3. Books are coming together - tomorrow is the last day of Nanowrimo and I kind of gave up on the novel #3 manuscript 2 days ago when I finished the restructuring of the first draft. Have been working on the reissue of novel #1 and the soon to be published novel #2. So: good book days here, generally, and certainly Nanowrimo inspired.

Oh and can I have a fourth one?

4. My son is, as I type, building the Lego kit I got him for his birthday, and at age 17 (he's building an 18+ adult Lego kit) this makes both me and him very, very happy.

@Ruxi yes! Yes! Yes! I'd add: learning about what daily practice is all about and turning off the chorus of 'I can't' in your head!
Congrats and enjoy the rest of the month!! #amwriting #nanwrimo #everyday #daily

Requisite #introduction:

Maybe you know me from my game jam days (#1GAM), or making #twine utility story formats, or #nanwrimo. I lurk, I make things, and I follow people who make stuff too. Maybe we were mutuals or interacted over on that other site, or maybe I like something you made and now I'm out here watching you make things.

If I use this, I'll mostly be boosting people who make things and try to make the world better somehow, and ideally doing a bit of that myself.

Cheers

Ok. #nanwrimo update for this morning. Yesterday's no-writing produced a good run this morning: got parts connected and although I can see the whole arc and have written most of it through, I have not yet hammered out the nitty gritty aspects of how they evolve together ... so I will do that next, for the plot pivot points.

And this morning's stream of conscious writing took me into weird places like the pink aurora borealis of November 3, 2022, and Nostradamus. I think I'll use #Nostradamus as a mechanism... for... saying things obliquely that I don't actually want to give air time to (DT, 2016 election, 2024 election).

Let's see how it plays out. #AmWriting #EcoFiction #StreamOfConscious

Trialled a CPAP machine last night. I don’t think the seal was great on the half mask I used, so will try with a full one tonight. My moustache is now sore, and I swear the machine wanted me to breath at a much faster pace than I usually do. Still, I’m up at 6am and I should be writing, but I think I’m going to allow myself wakeup time, time to remember how to be human.
