Adventures du jour! A gray day in Tampa. My brain is sludge. Yesterday while writing I got bogged down in a scene, hit a spot that shouldn’t have been that difficult, and lost all will to live, as it were. I went to bed early and finally slept pretty hard after a number of days […]

Adventures du jour! Coleslaw + jalapenos + salt –> sauerkraut process initiated. The last couple of days have been both good and bad, or rather I have felt both good and bad the last couple of days. The days themselves marched forward regardless of my reaction to them. I’ve been working on a tarot spread

Random-ass thought: what if lab-grown meat is a misnomer and it could be more like beer or sourdough, affected by strains and terroirs of sorts? I’d like that.

Adventures du jour! Tropical storm Nicole is rolling in, turning the sky heavy but the air cool and fresh. Supplies have been gathered, laundry has been washed.–I should fill up the car with gas. I think that’s it. Yesterday I ended up crashing and didn’t get any writing done. Hung out with Ray, watched some

Adventures du jour! Either the election is stressing me out or the tropical storm is lowering the air pressure (or both) but I feel like someone took a grapefruit spoon to my sinuses. Yesterday a friend gave me a “run this against your subconscious” query and it took over. She didn’t intend it that way,

Adventures du jour! The attack of the plot twist continues, with the subconscious revealing more plot stuff now that I’m passing the halfway mark. The last couple of days have been trying to keep up with whatever my subconscious thinks I need to be doing. After the bit Midjourney update (and me taking the stops
