Petition for all books to start on chapter 4 so I don't have to stress about writing the first chapter

The Christmas trees in the PNW have an aura. You bring one into your house and you also bring in a little fog and mystery and good smells. Also about ten thousand spiders

Ladybugs and grumbleworms!!! I did it!!! Now only like 40k words to go... because the story is only half done... #nanowrimo If you're close to the finish line, keep going!

I have 45k/50k words in my November Project, please clap

Terumaru, a bright young lightbulb and the mascot of the Tokyu Denki electric company, trapped in a door yesterday:

We should bring back calling friends who are girls "my girlfriends" because I like that

I mean, why write books or do job when there is a Little Flute to play? Who will play the little flute but me? I am its voice! It wants to be heard!

Acquiring a new musical instrument has done wonders to improve my mental health this week, unfortunately this sets a dangerous precedent

So weird how if you walk around with a little flute suddenly everyone wants to be your friend

To the guy who almost hit me on the street and justified it with "I was only going 20!": You were going 20 around a right turn onto a narrow, partially-flooded street with chicanes that clearly mark this as a walking street. Did you buy your Black Escalade from the Movie Bad Guy impound lot

Starting a kickstarter not for publishing my book but for the inevitable wrist surgery I'll need before I finish it

Getting an automated "complete an ergonomics assessment :)" email when I'm in pain from tendinitis feels like a little to late, but they tried

18,000/50,000 but the tendinitis is winning

I got all snuggled up and cozy on the couch and my brain suddenly knew how to fix Act II of my book, in excruciating detail, but writing it all down meant I had to get up

I love playing in an orchestra, but there is also no better feeling than the first day after a concert where you don't have rehearsal and you don't have to leave your house or do anything

I think my Pokemon-themed dream was a sign that it's time to Pokemon-go-to-the-polls, people. Go vote!

Lord forgive me... I edited during Nanowrimo...

The fall of shopping malls, the rise of liminal spaces & vaporwave. They are inextricably linked.

Genuinely never locked in harder to my novel than when I deleted Instagram off my phone. I'm sorry, book community, but you are really distracting and the constant self-promotion just makes me miserable and exhausted. The new draft has 70k now. Looking forward to querying it next year

I just gotta feel what I feel today and move on tomorrow, I guess

I hate hoodies, I am being strangled, why do people like this

I'm so excited that @inkdrinkerseattle.bsky.social is open because lately I only find motivation to read on airplanes, and I can't just cross the country every time I want to slim down my TBR, that gets expensive

Hearing the people in my cello section talk about how much you "should" pay for even a "good" cello makes me super self-conscious because I don't think I paid anything close to that but she's the best cello ever

it would be very difficult to determine the actual worst social media site because there are so many factors that would go into that decision, but it's linkedin

Good morning!!! Or should I say Good Morning America, which I was ON this morning?? (I watched GMA every morning growing up so this is kind of life goals)

Returning a book early on Libby when others have holds on it feels like chucking it ceremoniously into a mob, like the bouquet toss at a wedding

Ok. TV finally mounted but now it's way too high. I think I preferred it on the floor

MY TV MOUNT WAS THE WRONG SIZE. I'LL NEVER PLAY HADES II AT THIS PONT

When my NIMBY neighbor comes out of their house to lecture me and they tell me "ya know, I've lived in this house nineteen years" what am I supposed to say to that? "Congratulations"? I'm no stranger to touchy neighbors but what if we led with compassion when asking me to move my car??

The TV mount that came with this mount is inexplicably missing half its parts and now I gotta learn how to MOUNT A TV before Hades II comes out. The stakes have never been higher

Moving update day XXXXX: now I have a cold

Please help me brace my sanity as I prepare for my 86753765th day of moving

I feel like I'm behind the times... since when does Ryan Seacrest host Wheel of Fortune...

Excited for my life to get back to normal so I can go back to writing. Moving is chaos

Maybe it's finally time to play Fire Emblem: Three Houses

lately when i’m feeling hopeless i just think of the Katamari cat wearing scuba gear. if she can survive in an inhospitable environment then so can i

I'm actually just moving to a new house that has built-ins so ~crisis averted~

One of the benefits of being my full authentic self at work (by which I mean everyone knows about my obsession with E33) is that if I ask my manager if I can take a week off to go to Paris because they're performing the music live in concert he might understand how important it is to me

I feel like I've been too busy to be grateful lately but I have the most amazing friends and I live in one of the best places in the world, a stable job and a wonderful partner! And I'm so impressed with myself that I built this life and found these people. It feels good :)

*taking a free donuts someone brought at work* Me: normally, I'd only take half of one. But it's been a rough month and I deserve the whole thing. Coworker: You're so right! I'm going to take a full one as well. Out of solidarity. For you.

there comes a point in a book lover's life where their overflow book pile is taller than the bookshelf, and that means it is in fact time to buy another bookshelf

This mask can't hurt me!!!! Thank you to all the baguettes & cosplayers who made this year so memorable! I had such a blast! #cosplay #expedition33 #paxwest

Caption this

I am a disgrace to my own name. It's actually hilarious how bad I am at tailoring clothing.

I think the type-B fun I like is Unrealistic Deadlines for Creative Projects

I think for my first video game I'll make an open-world roguelike deckbuilder with survival crafting, buttery-smooth movement (with plenty of speedrun tech), and realistic combat. Failing that, I have this other idea where you're a good circle and you get points for dodging bad circles

Seeing people dressed weird on public transit only reminds me I could be staying at home working on cosplay rather than doing normie stuff like going out

I wish there was a way to skip my ears and inject Strategy by TWICE right into my bloodstream
