Trying to decide whether to use the stoic Queen with the eccentric husband or the stoic King with the cute, psychically empathic daughter.

Does anyone else get distracted by the amount of tea they are drinking while writing? I probably shouldn't have drank 7 cups of Earl Grey. Oops.

As a writer I don’t hate many non-derogatory words, but, my friends, something has to fucking be done about twelfths.

When I write it, I have to fight my own fingers to stop from hitting more vowels. Every time I read it, I get lost, trying to weave my tongue around that oppressive number of consonants, pissing away precious time until I inevitably begin swearing like a pirate who just realized his last bottle of rum was actually LaCroix.

End twelfths. End it now.

The biggest problem with doing your own layout is that the content you have to cut to make things fit is your own.

Sometimes I hate naming things in my stories. My placeholder is currently Tree Top City for a semi advanced jungle canopy settlement of less than 50 people. I cannot think of a good name!

Wish today could be a writing day but my body is too busy putting me through unnecessary pain.
Energy that I had was spent walking the dog :harold:

Would appreciate some Netflix or Disney show suggestions so I can die on my couch for the next 6-24 hours.

I feel that "dangerous amount of caffeine" part. Someone refill my cup, I'm too shaky to walk to the kitchen.

Me to the S.O.: “I just don’t know how to get the dog over the wall, she’s like a hundred pound dog, they can’t just carry her.”
S.O.: “The dog’s immortal right? So trebuchet.”
Me: *stares at the S.O. in horror* “How could you….”

Still I would like to write something everyone would love to read or buy but how can I do that when all the people I know I can count on one hand don’t read 🤔

I am trying to sort out what kind of trauma one of my characters went through to be perpetually angry 🤣
