Update: we were 30 days early for our appointment, so we bought multivitamins instead, went home and took a nap on the couch.

Happy saturday everyone. I'm getting a covid booster and a flu shot today, then I'm going to see where this party takes me.

... oh my god I'm old.

@ChippySuave I've been to Auburn many times. I used to go the to Courthouse (or maybe its a city hall) and fix computers. One of my many regular stops. Nice town, I wished I had more time to explore back then.

@lizmonster yes, very true. I like the idea though. I have scenes that my mind runs through that happen further in the storyline, and it makes it hard to concentrate on the point I am to write. I decided that I should just write the part I can't get out of my head vs grind through it linearly. I suppose this is similar to your idea in a way.

@lizmonster interesting idea. In what ways does this help you? Do you think this is universal across genre?

Like, to me it would make sense for a mystery or suspense, but my story isn't so much about the ending as it is the journey, so I feel like knowing the ending would constrain me to arrive at that point.

@wideeyedcurious Visual. Sometimes words come to me, but mostly things play out like a movie, and I have to keep pausing to catch up with it.

@cozmikstar108 only when the subject matter is zombies though. lol

When I write, its something takes over. Like a demon whispering in my ear, or a parasite burrowing into my brain and controlling my fingers. I dont know where the words come from, and I dont know how the story will end, I just wish whatever possessed me had better grammar and typing skills.

Today was a snow day! I stayed home and made my wife @EarthlingLeah lunch, a simple salad with buffalo chickpeas and mushrooms. So good, but I forgot that buffalo sauce is spicy, too much so for Leah, who complimented the meal by saying it was "Technically edible" 🤣

@SkycladFox good luck and have fun!

@DevonEllington I try to write every day during the winter. During the warm months I work so much that its unrealistic to think I can manage any writing, so for those months I think about writing. I hope it comes back to me easily this winter.

@RiekaWrites the world building gives a solid foundation, so even with a plan that crumbles you still have some idea how to keep going.

@RiekaWrites thats exciting, world building is one of my favorite things to think about.

@DevonEllington Wow, thats a good word count. Thats like, the best writing day I have ever had... but better.

What are you writing today? Are you excited about your writing?

The end of the paving season draws near. Crossing my fingers today is the last day, since a snow storm is coming. Unlikely, but possible. I can't wait to get to writing this winter.

@TheStorySmith Hi! 👋

@awrene I can't imagine what you're trying to experience 😂

It sounds totally demented, and I'm on board.
