I'm not a fan of #Thanksgiving as a holiday, but I think it's always a good time to stop and look at what one has to be thankful for. One of the things I'm thankful for this year is that I took that chance and came over here. I'm thankful for this community. I'm thankful that "community" means something here. 💜

Trying to be a little less shy about #SelfPromotion . Embracing the idea that #divination is really where my passion is and what I want to be serious in writing about.

So... I write a weekly substack about divination. It's currently focused on how to build a set for charm casting. I put up a new post today. It tells the story behind the piece, which is about the kindness of a stranger.

I may have been trying to write the wrong book all this time? This isn't me looking at my #NaNoWriMo project too seriously too early. It's something I think that project is leading me to understand about what I was working on before.

I might have more passion about a completely different thing? I might want to write something I don't actually think I can get people to read? I'm thinking in questions?

Also, in taking care of my plants today, I have decided Keanu Leaves is the best named of all my plant friends.

Golden pothos. Vines of leaves EVERYWHERE!

I got more done today than I have in the whole past two weeks! Which is...not much. But getting well takes time and energy, and I'm claiming this victory!

I'm at 40,019 words for #NaNoWriMo ! 🥳

#CoSoWritingCommunity - Friends, I will not use this for my own writing. Somebody, please start rewriting all of Shakespeare's plays as modern erotica. Military erotica, political erotica, witchcraft erotica. I mean, it's all there, really. He already wrote it. You're just editing it.

I understand some sportsball event is happening. I'm, um... not into sportsball. I have learned over the years to say very vague things like, "That was some game, huh?" and, "How'd you like that one play? Everybody's gonna talk about it for months!"

Mostly, though, if you like sportsball, I hope the event is enjoyable for you no matter who wins.

Still working on getting my #NaNoWriMo word count up this weekend. I'm not behind, but I'm not as far ahead as I was before. I want some space in case I don't have good writing days all through the rest of the month.

Yeah... I've done this before. I know what happens.

Everything seems kind of excitable tonight. Did y'all tell the new folks about the Wall of Entropy?

The Tylosaurus was one of the biggest of the Mosasaurs. And why are people accepting the Jurassic Park franchise as an accurate source of information? Their dinosaurs didn't even have feathers!

Friends, I need to vent. I keep seeing videos and such asking who would win in a fight between a Tylosaurus and a Mosasaurus, and determining it would be Mosasaurus because they were bigger. And apparently this information is coming from how they are portrayed in Jurassic World?

I admit I've only seen the first Jurassic Park movie and don't really remember anything other than Jeff Goldblum.

But here's my problem...

I've hit the point in getting to feeling better where I do a LOT of sleeping! Stopped taking naps at 18 months old. Making up for it in my 40s. 😄

My husband has no idea what he's doing with my plant friends, but he made sure they all got watered for me. 🌱💜

My #NaNoWriMo word count is over 32,000 and my brain is exhausted.
