Yesterday, the characters in the current scene–all I was trying to do was wrap up the scene, I swear–went off the rails at the last second in a way I didn’t expect but will make the thing I’ve been promising (a visit to the one character’s extended family) more fun to write. Okay! Slight replan! […]
Midjourney AI, best practices I messed up sharing some of the Midjourney posts on Instagram, resulting in multiple copies on FB. I’m just gonna leave the duplicates. Current best guess on how to use Midjourney: 1. Don’t expect perfect, or even reasonable, control. Allow for happy accidents a la Bob Ross. 2. The order you
As almost always after a good bitch, I feel better today. Still moving slower, still not pushing hard, still losing track of time. Ray and I are moving into our new apartment on Friday if everything goes well, and I want to take it easy until then, I think. It’s gray and rainy and wonderful
This morning I ran out of go juice and took ADD meds. I still don’t have replacements, so I’m stretching them as far as I can. I got up and couldn’t function, took a med, went outside for yoga, started doing yoga, and broke down and cried. I had no idea why at first, then
Writers venting destructively about writing. Rant follows. Sometimes I see meme-type (not personal) posts venting about writing on my feed that are fucking stupid and worse than unhelpful, outright destructive of writerly sanity and joy.

Slept well, slept a little later than usual, got started even later, so it was hot! And humid. There’s sweaty, dripping with sweat, and “this shirt is noticeably heavier due to sweat content.” I did a bunch of yoga this morning; the one character I was hanging out with the other day kept nagging me
Ugh. Long day, brain tired. I woke up far too early this morning, read some romance web comics, then went out for yoga and a walk. I think it was one of those times where you wake yourself out of something that feels like it’s going to be a nightmare but I don’t remember what,
Did a bunch of adulting today. If you’re trying to get hold of me, just keep pinging. I feel like my ability to track what needs to be done is very low. I made the mistake of putting Chess the musical on, and now I have to listen to the rest of it before I
I got derailed again yesterday; I was starting to slip into “coming down with something” mode and let things just stop after a while. Read a bunch of romance web comix. Several that I like are on hiatus; in one of them, the second male lead (whom I like better than the first male lead
