Some nights are like that.

1700 words on #projectIDGAF in 3 hours. A chapter that the story needs but leaves me feeling like a creepy old guy.

Now to make some #n4sa2e.

Today's plan: laundry, Looney Runes, and finish #projectIDGAF

So I better go offline and get to work. Do save the world while I'm out, if you'd be so kind?

Going offline to make some #projectIDGAF

I recently stumbled across a discussion on the importance of opening lines, and it's infected my critical voice.

"A sky flared silver-blue around a scrawny yellow sun." -- perfectly acceptable opening, move on! #writing

Poor sleep last night, so only 3k words today on #projectIDGAF.

But at least I got to the vicious unprovoked beating, so that's a plus! #writing

Finished the "Iceolate" chapter, on to "Starfish and Coffee." #projectIDGAF

Yes, the book has a bipolar soundtrack.

Tomorrow's #60secondsofWIP is recorded and scheduled: "The Wrong Kind of Clever." A tiny slice of #projectIDGAF.

Was so busy cramming on #projectIDGAF that I didn't reconcile February's credit card statement.

Did February's and March's today.

I should have done it in February, because dang, that job suuucks.

Just got word back from my first alpha reader on #projectIDGAF.

Despite the weird POV shifts I pull, and the bizarre techniques I used, the book works and is enjoyable.

So much for THIS attempt to crash and burn... 😞

A few hours on #projectIDGAF today.

Dating is a hot mess today... but daaamn, it was worse in the 80s.

#projectIDGAF IS DONE.

Well, okay, just a first draft, but still.

My notes say that I started writing this on 23 August 2024. How the hell can I spend 213 days #writing a 58k-word novel?

Oh. Right. Covid brain. Never mind. #writing

"We endure a world dominated by barbaric monsters, like aging and bacteria and billionaires."

2500 words on #projectIDGAF tonight. Seriously hoping to finish tomorrow, although the ending is receding like Xeno designed the damn thing. #writing

1500 words on #projectIDGAF in two hours. Break's over, laundry swapped, time for another run at it. #writing

Looking back from today, medical care in 1989 seems like one step up from leeches.

Also, this book needs a bigger pyrotechnics budget.

okay, that's the social media break over. Time to get back to #writing.

I finished "White Russian," now on to "Swallow It." #projectIDGAF

oh, wow. #projectIDGAF has a Richard Tucholka nod?

I have hit peak cult 80s.

(Not an insult. I am peak cult 20s.)

Pushing to finish #projectIDGAF today, but sooo tired...

Doing some work on #projectIDGAF in the hospital waiting room (family, not me) and thinking that maybe I need a second driver for the setting.

But, y'know, I can fit a whole bunch of detail beneath a shriek of "IT'S ALL REAGAN'S FAULT!"

Tomorrow's #60SecondsOfWIP is recorded: "Parentally Mandated Assholes" from #projectIDGAF.

Yes, I got it done early. I am all over things! Mostly because I have an 11AM meeting, and don't want to get myself in flow state only to interrupt it.

Realized why the #writing on #projectIDGAF has been hard lately. I broke one of my cardinal rules and attempted to write snark.

Just as story is an emergent property of setting, snark is an emergent property of sincerity.

Tearing out the last few pages and trying again, this time with feeling.
