I feel very unaccomplished today, but I know that's just a state of mind. A lot got done.

And... once the marching band finishes, it's back to a novella for me. Tough to finish this one, though, because I first drafted it before world-grief really took hold. All the things I was pouring into it then feel very small right now.

I don't usually do full rewrites, but this might be an exception. It feels bizarrely "twee" for a post-coronal mass ejection murder mystery with ghosts.

@MLClark

Same reason I stopped writing which I learned from youโ€”world-grief

Illness doesnโ€™t help either.

Glad I stopped where I did. I can feel the desire to sit down again. Soon.

@LnzyHou

You're still working on the creative part of your life even if you're not writing. It's building in you: the urgency, the ache, the words. You can feel it even now, and you'll know when the time is right.

But be kind to yourself whenever you *do* sit down again. The world-grief doesn't ease just because you've found a way to write some of it down. ๐Ÿ’™

@WordsmithFL

Did YOU?! ๐Ÿ˜‰

(I'm glad you were watching, though. I enjoyed following your updates!)

@MLClark Not me. I wasted the evening pontificating in social media.

So you accomplished more than me!

@WordsmithFL

Still on for some time this weekend though, yes? ๐Ÿ‘€

@MLClark Abso-fraggin-lutely, as B5's Captain Sheridan used to say.

I'm looking forward to test-driving the WhatsApp Sharing feature.

@WordsmithFL

Good. :) So I will just wish you the best of luck with the rest of YOUR writing work between now and then. ๐Ÿค—

@MLClark Hopefully tomorrow.

At least you and the rest of had a taste of what I used to do for a living. ๐Ÿ˜Š
