Editor Note: What did you mean by this sentence/phrase?
Me: ...So... GREAT question. That part survived from Draft One. Lemme me tell you about Draft One Kate. She writes like the rent's due in a burning house and she's gettin' paid by the word. So... to answer your question... I have NO idea.
🤣
Sounds interesting! Plus chocolate ftw! <3
I mean, how do you get anything done anyway with that cute overlord staring at you?? O_O
So good. Your worldbuilding is *chefs kiss*
There's a guy on Insta who chugs a glass of water every day and shares a piece of art... 🤣as a protest against AI... and now I keep thinking about that every time I sit down to write. Like, let me chug my glass of water and create something. HYDRATION and saving the planet, one chapter at a time!!
Forever fighting with my Scrivener that IT IS SO A WORD!!!!

Me with my retinol that's way too similar to my toothpaste. 😅
Gawgeous. Absolutely stunnin'. Do you have a writer's group or other eyes on your query? I often find that's where I got the most traction with mine- was other eyes. It's so easy to go in circles with them otherwise, just for lack of feedback.
Just bought myself $65 worth of tea. ...Because the world is on fire.
Might as well make a cuppa.
Ooh, love Scrivener. (Not as much as facials, though, but close.) Enjoy your self-imposed retreat!
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.
What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?
I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Hey, if you figure it out, lmk. I'm still mentally in hashtags from platform-that-shall-not-be-named circa 2016, prolly. 😅
Hey, that's great! Net positive. 👍
Ha.. my all-time "fave worst" was the succinct yet brutally effective "Thanks...but no thanks".
Congratulations!
Writer's block is NOT the worst. The worst is having already done the whole scene in your head. Then you realize you have to torture yourself and put it to paper.
What do you mean I have to actually WRITE IT DOWN?

The nearly-perverse desire to end all my texts with 'Love and Light' after spamming Lily Allen's West End Girl on repeat.
Having a rough week. Think I need to watch Claire fall in love with Jamie again.
Not everyone can be as talented as I. After all, I mentioned a character's last name THREE times in my WIP.
...And changed the spelling EVERY time.
It's a gift, really.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.
joining the war on autism on the side of autism
Scheduling my next infusion (for my chronic, intractable migraine disorder- hiiieee!) told lovely infusion nurse I work from home. She said- yeah, most her patients (MS, autoimmune, headache) do, and/or work for themselves.
oof.
I mean... yeah... but
...oof. What I'd change for this community.
Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her
Oh nooo! Overachiever much- not three places!
💜 Don't be too hard on yourself- it happens! (But I know that's easier said than done. I still feel SO guilty about a watering error that killed my college pet hermit crabs... easily 20 years ago.
Hey, I wrote this!
I'm finally putting all those hours reading old Fantastic Four comics to good use.
