Forever fighting with my Scrivener that IT IS SO A WORD!!!! #writing #writingcommunity

Just bought myself $65 worth of tea. ...Because the world is on fire. Might as well make a cuppa.

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. #Pinks #ProudBlue

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.

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? #writer #writerproblems #writingcommunity

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. #writing #writingcommunity #writersky

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

Hey, I wrote this! I'm finally putting all those hours reading old Fantastic Four comics to good use.

Am professional author (fr srs). STILL have to use words per page conversion website to keep track of my progress. 😅 wordcounter.net/words-per-page

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

Please please call your reps about Rumeysa Ozturk. She was kidnapped by ICE in broad daylight by undercover officers, and within hours was 1300 miles from home. She committed no crime. She wrote an op-ed for a school paper and spoke out against war crimes. That is NOT a crime.

I need a function on my writing program that stops me from renaming side characters on accident. Can AI do that? 'Cause I've given this guy like 3 last names already.

My autocorrect changes "I'll call you back" to "Hahahahahahha".

I can always say it with less. But I rarely do.

Why isn't overdramatic a word? Quit being overdramatic, spellcheck. I don't want to hyphenate, that looks WEIRD. And when things look WEIRD I get distracted and focus on that instead of the actual work of the scene. QUIT MAKING ME PROCRASTINATE, spellcheck!

I cannot be trusted with sunglasses decisions. I will always err on the side of massive. Bug-like. GOGGLE-ABLE.
