Back in the editing cave today. It feels good. #amwriting #writingcommunity #cosowriters #cosoauthors #dragons

@holon42 Nope, it's not in the official rules. It's one of those unspoken rules of playing any game. I just wish he could channel all of that passion to something more productive! lol

@holon42 14 and 8. It was the 14-yr-old that was the most problematic. The gist is...he didn't pay attention to the board, so he kept missing when people landed on his property. I stopped giving helping him because he has to learn. He demanded money from the 8-yr-old from a space landing THREE TURNS AGO. It was a nightmare.

My children can't handle the emotional burden of playing monopoly. There were tears. There was yelling. It was a nightmare. I'm so embarrassed.

My brain decided to give me another series idea. Because, you know, I need MORE series ideas. Though this might be more of a novella serial kind of deal. Tentative title "The Arlington Family Inn". I'm leaning toward it being a YA project. There will be mythical creatures.

Went back to the day job today and edited three chapters. Pretty win!

For the curious: Yes, yes I did get a flu shot.

Okay, I'm optimistic about feeling good again! I'm going to ease into this week with some editing and then shift into writing again.

Repeating again: DO. NOT. GET. THE. FLU.

I mean...if you can avoid it.

I'm still waiting to feel human again, but every day is getting a little better. It's amazing what little things like getting dressed and showering are doing for my self esteem right now.

It took five days, but I've finally broken my fever! 🥂 🎉

Got nailed with the flu this weekend. It's pretty bad. Definitely recommend avoiding.

The flu continues to run through the house as the Oldest has gotten it next. Thanksgiving was spent at home, being low key, with lots of gaming and sleeping.

For accountability purposes, I'm going to put my agenda for the day up:

- Wash towels
- Start cleaning up the kitchen
- Start Christmas decorating
- Finish "Dying of Politeness"
- Catch up on comics
- Twitch some more "Sackboy"

Bonus points for editing.

Might do some more daydreaming about 2023 goals too. Because it's vacation!

My Twitch channel. A work in progress:

Okay, I think my first official stream game is going to be "The Last of Us Part 1". I haven't played it, and I want to before the show starts. This should be interesting because I suck at survival games and I don't enjoy horror. Join me on twitch to see this disaster.

Happy Thanksgiving for all who are celebrating! Regardless, I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

@thisgurlwrites Yeah, I've gotten some spurts in every so often, but I'm lucky if I do about 3k a month these days. I'd like that to change most of all.

@thisgurlwrites Yes, my day job makes me do that constantly too. I often ask: Why do I keep putting myself through this? But at the same time, I can't stop writing. I just don't have energy for it either. Can't win! lol

Am I the only one who is constantly evaluating their writing goals and wondering what they're doing with their life?

Decided to take the day off from writing. Binge watching too much tv instead.

Such a good cuddle buddy.
