@creativedestiny One of the signs I'm not writing enough is that I start dreaming plots. I'll even half wake up, realize the plot is weak, and revise it in the next dream sequence. But most of my inspiration for what I actually wrote comes from random thoughts that stick or from "that story I just read/watched would have been more to my liking if..."

@hawksquill I've considered doing that. It's always seemed like fun. Maybe I'll get around to this should I ever finish the novel I keep rebooting.

I'm exhausted from just WATCHING the Mariners game. 18 innings. That ties the postseason MLB record for longest game and is equal to playing two full games back to back. I don't know how anyone on that field was still standing, especially with all the smoke in Seattle today. #baseball

@wordsmith @EdwinDownward I actually spent another two hours detailing the entire building. So my MC's room, the cafe, and the boss's house. I'm still working on some of the furniture placement. :)

I spent nearly two hours mapping out my fictional building after realizing things like, "Wait. If that room is the only room over the cafe, shouldn't it be bigger?" and "I see the bottom of the stairs, but where do they end up?" It was further complicated by needing a window in the room, by the house behind the building being connected to it, and by being in an Alpine environment where massively sloped roofs are needed for snow shed. Do other #writers do this? I usually don't. #writingcommunity

@lyonesse But all of that is to say that I never began to feel at all like an adult until I reframed what adult means to me. Although there's still a lot of imposture syndrome going on with it. :)

@lyonesse As it was explained to me by my parents, adulthood seemed largely a concept to explain why you should be obsessed with income rather than with living and why society shouldn't change to make it so no one has to be like that. I hope never to be adult in that sense. I'm still working out what adult means to me. It has to do with acceptance I think, of myself and others. Emotional maturity is part of it, but that's different from being in full control of emotions and free from self-doubt.

@WizardOfDocs That is an interesting question. My first thoughts were all things I hope will be noticed. It may be that my Fae society lacks widely used words for sexualities. You don't say "She's a lesbian" unless you have a really big vocabulary, but would say "She only dates women." Same as if she only dated blondes. They never stigmatized certain types of love, so who you do or do not want to be with is less of a big deal. That's not going to be pointed out, but does influence a lot.

"It's not me, it's you," I explained to the two thousand three hundred and seven highlighted words. "You're cute and all, a bit funny even, but you just don't pop the way I need you to and I don't think you ever will."

It was hard to break up with them, but it feels like progress.

I would be more upset with Novi blocking the screen if she wasn't so obviously watching the game.

Vil: I have to go. Apparently there's some kind of animal in her room.

Ky: How is that your problem?

Vil: She's staying over the cafe.

Ky: Damn, cuz, when you do drama, you don't half-ass it.

Hello world.

I'm trying Mastodon out, likely for similar reasons to everyone else who's joined in the last few months.

If talking to a #polyam (but not looking for new partners) #panromatic #asexual #fantasy #writer in the #pnw sounds fun, drop me a line!

I'm supposed to writing now, though, so I guess I should go do that. :)
