Hmmm, this is a real chin scratcher.

Today is unfortunately not a writing day. Too many things to do. But I will be thinking about it, and thats almost as good

Long story short, 4 or 5 years ago Dan Harmon MeToo'd himself with an apology letter to the person he abused, outed himself in its full fucked uppedness. I felt like it warranted discussion, as I thought it set a precedent for those in power who have done wrong to make amends.

4 years later I'm responsible for news of other fucked up shit he did in 2009 that just came out.

Was I wrong to think his apology had value and should be discussed?

This writing season is going great. So in the last 2 days I've written 4000 words, which is 1/8th the entire progress I made last winter. Separated my characters storylines into their own documents so I don't feel pressure to write linearly, chapter to chapter.

What are your tips and tricks for writing productivity?

Hearing that the Colorado shooter was stopped by an unarmed Veteran and a Drag Queen is possibly the best news I've ever heard. Not to make light of it, but I would watch that buddy cop movie.

I'm not officially laid off yet, I've been told there is still a little work left for this season. But DAMN it feels good to wake up on a monday morning, put on my comfy jogging pants, and write in front of the fireplace while sipping hot coffee. Damn it feels good to be a gangster.

Went over to see what was going on over at the Birdsite, all thats left is the trolls, racists and disinformation bots harrassing the few people left that haven't realized they're on a sinking ship.

No thanks, Elon. You can have it.

What genre do you write?

I struggle to define what I'm writing. It takes place in a zombie apocalypse, but I wouldn't say its about zombies. Its about people, relationships, and hardship. Its a road trip, a tragedy and a comedy. It just happens to have zombies as a hardship to endure. How to I pick a buzzword to describe a whole story that isn't really about the thing you would define it by?

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.

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" 🤣

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.

My first harvest of mushrooms from my mushroom farm. Smaller and fewer than I wanted, my substrate needs work for sure, but not bad. They are edible.

Today is veterans day, so I suggest listening to this song; Luang Prabang by Dave Van Ronk. I feel like it captures the essence of what it feels like to be a combat vet (at least one like me) when someone thanks you for your service. Its a complicated feeling, because it's done with the best intentions, but it leaves a hollow feeling inside, remembering the ones who dont make it home, and the platitudes we are told to fight and die for.

Do you have runaway characters?

I thought I had a plan for my novel, plotted out 15 story beats, whole 9 yards. Then I started writing it, and my characters started making their own choices as I helplessly watched, screaming "what are you doing?!?!"

Do I need a therapist? Or is this normal?

Good morning everyone! Have we decided if we live in a democracy yet or should I start learning the names of my new overlords?
