3 TBSPs olive oil
1/2 TSP Dijon mustard
1 TSP dried parsley
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
salt
white pepper

My loves, why did no one tell me that dried parsley works in salad dressing? It plumps up and is as good as fresh. Better, because I don't have to chop it!

Shout out to the letter combination "tw". An elite sound if ever there was one.

My doctor asked me if I had any support from my family. I called my mother to ask her to support me. Her answer was "No. Why?"

Lying awake at night, trying to come up with a novel idea before tomorrow. The wackier the better

An older, trans guy friend of mine just shared a "nuanced" blog post on FB. The theory of the essay being: You're not nonbinary, you're just a masculine woman.
Ugh.

So, it turns out the story I came up with in the middle of the night while jazzed on Dr Pepper and antihistamines is bad???
You can't just jam together three different subgenres of science fiction and write "to the max!" in your notes 🤷🏽♂️

Someone call in sick for me tomorrow morning; I'm having a delightful breakdown and I might be passed out by then

The Romance Novel Strikes Again (this time there are aliens)
I have once again been struck by my intense desire to write a romance novel. I have two premises that I quite like, but that cannot overlap ...

Called up the mental health people today to say I was having a crisis. Apparently I've got to "hang on until next Tuesday" 🤷🏽♂️

I'm looking for Georgian-era romance novels. That is, pre-Regency. Any recommendations?

I want to write my novel in first person even though all the outside signals are saying third person.

Ugh, I've hit a stumbling block in my work in progress. I'm trying to find a way for my hero and heroine's relationship to be equal (trying to avoid some weird power dynamic)
What are some good ways to generate ideas? I already do free writing

Also, people on #SocialMedia will wield your government name against you as a threat if you use a pseudonym. Weird behaviour 🤷🏽♂️
I must say, it does seem to be harder to make friendly connections with people when using a fake avatar and name. Everything feels very arm's length.
It makes sense though to save my real face and name for my professional writing identity, and not for this scatty, ridiculous persona

I've been on Threads. It's certainly exciting to know people are seeing your posts, but it also kind of sucks?
It's the height of "I don't like pancakes"
"How dare you trash people who like pancakes?"
