Writer hack: If you stand completely still when someone asks "how's that book you're writing coming along?" they can still see you, but they'll be so put off, they'll leave you alone.

Wrote 2178 words. We are so back.

We need three day weekends. Friday night is the best part. Saturday is recovery from the week and night before, doing as little as possible. And Sunday is mostly spent dreading Monday nearing. There's no designated day for whimsy, frolicking, or exacting revenge on enemies of old.

Tell your friends you love them. This isn't meant to be ominous. Everything's good (knocks on wood) but it just feels nice, bro. Telling the boys I love them, I'm glad they're my friends, in my life... then of course we go back to roasting each other, but the people you care about should know.

This year I’m going to be kinder, more positive, work harder, and put more faith in myself until the very first minor obstacle throws me off for the next 350+ days

I'm officially done entertaining and having people over for the holidays, it was dope, a great time... but if you need me, I'll be hibernating from now until my birthday in March

That night Frog and Toad were both happy.

Happy new year! 2025 wasn't great, it wasn't all terrible, there were good moments, but I appreciate you all indulging in my buffoonery here. It's a small thing in the grand scheme, but small things like that go a long way. Sure I've said it before, but thanks. Here's to a solid 2026 for you eh.

I was thinking that I didn't really have art that represented my 2025 very well. But I was mistaken! #art #fanart #mhwilds

i’m interested in changing my life for the better

Happy new year あけましておめでとうございますっ 縁起物なので自転車でそっち行きますねっ 2026年もよろしくお願い奉りますっ みなさん大好きですっ

I prefer rawreading [slowly strips my book of its book jacket]

and for my next trick, I'll magically turn this idea for a standalone novel into a series that spans ??? amount of books

Wanna feel old? The Golden Girls were all in their thirties.

Hope your best day in 2025 is your worst day in 2026.

I've officially cooked and cleaned. I better get a "wow wow wowwww! Nice meal! Beautiful gorgeous job! wow" from people coming over. That'll make it all evened out and worth it.

Naming characters and places in your book is tough, but remember, there's a hockey player named Ivan Ivan and a province named Newfoundland. You don't need to overthink it.

Just a couple more days of social gatherings and interactions with humans from tonight until new year's day before I can finally return to my ghoulish shapeless shadowy blobbed form and be at peace

I think you should get weirder and freakier about their writing next year. Expel the thoughts of "is this too much? too strange? too out there?" fuck it, we ball. Break the ancient seal cast upon ye. Unleash the inner esoteric thing within clawing, begging to wreak creative havoc.

“Frog, I am glad that you are here,” said Toad.

How I am walking out of 2025.

Annoying that the plural of oaf is oafs and not oaves.

"So... it's like drugs?" No. It's much better and stronger than drugs. It's external validation on something you created.

By the way, bro, just because you didn't hit all the goals you set out to in 2025, doesn't mean you need to punish yourself by making an insurmountable mountain for 2026 to "make up for it" that will only stress and burn you out right out the gate. Go for your goals, but try to be on your own side.

My writing feels like a pendulum swinging between: "this may be the best thing I've ever written" and "do I even know how to write??" and it kind of just goes back and forth like that until I somehow end up with a finished book

At this point, I'm just an eldritch horror that's an amalgamation of various cheeses and meats contained and shaped by rosemary flavoured crackers forming my human looking exterior

Toad did not answer. He had fallen asleep.

“what kind of writer are you?” I'm a grower, not a shower. “I don't think we should call it that...” Fine, just call me an underwriter or something then.

ai? Oh, you mean the brain melting machine? The stuff turning you into soup? The beep booping you need to come up with ideas for you? Inspiration for you? Research and learn for you? You yearn for the slop? Our ancestors etched drawings onto stone walls, and yet here you are, generating. Pathetic.

Hold on, gimme a sec. I wrote it. I'm the author. I know all about it... I just need like five minutes to calibrate my brain and process how to properly reply when someone asks about my writing.

it's my birthday today! may i present thee with some of my fave arts to share 💖🎉🎁

This has been a great year for people who love being angry

It's been a long week. Rest here, weary creative. You deserve it.
