A screenshot of Scrivener, the writing program, showcasing my current sci-fi novel at nearly 41,000 words with a few of the placeholder chapter names showing.
Been writing for decades and only just now have I decided to actually finish a novel. It's a bit short at the moment but we're getting there!
First draft; I'm hopeful to add another 25,000 words by the end of pure fluff

The last time America pissed off the Middle East, oil shortages caused a 300% rise in gasoline prices.
Plus a little bit of rationing.

Democrats elites will never accept blame for spending trillions on war.
Republican elites will never blame Trump for using weapons the Democrats bought for him.
We don’t have political parties, we have codependents addicted to violence.
Defund both parties.

I had planned on writing all day, but it 45F° and God would punish me for staying inside all day.

Taking a break amid soul-crushing news of Nova Scotia gov't gutting arts & culture (e.g. #Writers✍️ in Schools program).
Fiction: Fiscal efficiencies needed: eliminating arts will help balance budget😡.
✅FACT: A strong arts & culture sector makes it easier to balance the books📚
Rewriting is my curse.
It’s nearly finished.
The big question is do I risk beta readers sowing doubts or trust my own tastes.
Ten thousand words rewritten dozens of times, and with a what if - it can all come tumbling down.
Six hours of editing is enough.
I’m tired, it’s 2am, and it’s time for bed.

On November 30, 1835, two great novelists were born:
One never finished a manuscript.
The other.

Thanks
The ginger is 16.
The calico is almost 12.
I got them both when they were older. The ginger was 9.
The ginger bit me to the point of drawing blood for years, but now he 99.9% gentle. I have always thought he was a feral cat at heart.
Went for a walk yesterday.
Soon this will be lush, warm, and green, and I will be able to ride my bicycle down its paths.
It’s a drive to get to the Erie Canal, but it’s safer than roads, flat, and a few hundred miles long.

The short stories are almost done. The have had dozens of read aloud edits. I want them audio and print ready.
The novel is a bit of a mess. I need to seriously consider cutting out a subplot that I like.
What are you writing?
10-15k stories:
A ghost story about a grandmother. No violence or scares. It’s a cozy paranormal.
A zombie story about a boy who gets separated from his mother on the first day of the outbreak.
Novel
A cozy witch/shaman/ghost story which is a serious mess with good bones to it.
Typing is difficult.
I have to balance them in the crooks of my arms while they hold on by digging their claws into my jacket.

Good morning everybody. ☀️
I happily overslept, which was a good thing.
I needed it.

The snow still hasn’t melted.
But it was warm enough for Bella to venture outside.

Oliver isn’t a bad writing partner.
Bella is a nightmare.
If I don’t hold her while I type, she gets hyperactive. She head butts my hands, walks on the keyboard, and is a general nuisance.
Spoiled. 😺
Happy Caturday. 😺

Oligarchs want to replace every job with robots and Ai.
Oligarchs also want humans to have more babies.
Why?
Because someone has to buy their products and pay taxes.
We are wallets, data, taxes, and grease for the tracks. Just another commodity to be exploited.
