And now it's reached the even more fun stage, where I wish I'd made a different decision on every single front. Every single one. I would like to skip this step, just once. Trot right on through to "I wrote this? Damn, I'm good." Alas, this is the only way my brain learns shit.

Very excited for this, and perpetually impressed I titled something in under twenty words. I fear I never fully escaped the 00s pop-punk title mindset... 😂 It's gonna be great though

Some writing projects are just Cursed. No other word for it. I've got one where as soon as I start working on it, something happens. And it's ridiculous stuff; family deaths or mystery illnesses or tech issues that shouldn't be possible, just an endless stream with awful timing. Capital C Cursed.

Really, Spotify? NOW? Not at any point when this would have been helpful? 😒

Ooooo. This kept getting random release dates here (two weeks ago! No, May! No, July! Three weeks ago!) and The Child has been fuming. Might just win Mom of the Year with this news

It does not matter how many times I read my writing through, I will come back a week later and find a disheartening number of errors....

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

And honestly, at this point you probably don't even need the tags because it's one of three things and all of them are big Devil's Sacrament vibes...

I have reached the "Wait, did I say suitcase or duffel bag?" stage of editing and I am very glad someone brought me peanut M&Ms to deal with it.

"I'm really good at estimating story lengths with enough data," I said. "Even with a 10% margin of error, I'm good." If they ever invent time travel, I've got a dumb bitch to go slap.

Friday nights are wild in our house. I'm hanging out and just hear one of my teens start yelling "NO! NO, YOU CANNOT READ MY MOTHER'S X-MEN SMUT!" repeatedly. "YOU'LL BE IN OUR HOUSE! THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL." Apparently friend is plotting to quote every E-rated Romy fic until one strikes a nerve 😂

The Giver finally dropped. Apparently all The Youths were stalking Spotify at midnight 😂 Soon as it showed up, middle kid came running to tell me. Still won't accept my list of lesbian country songs though...

Been too unwell to write, so I started the new season of Wheel of Time. s2 was an upgrade from s1 and I knew it was setting up some of my fave plotlines, but I did not expect to get sideswiped by how damned interesting the writing choices are proving to be, and the casting continues to be fabulous

Most of the time, I am a competent writer. I may wail and gnash my teeth, but I know what I'm doing and how to fix what's gone wrong. Not as good as I want to be, but operating at competent. Other times, I conclude I had one good story in me and spent it on porn. 😭 A noble pursuit, but damn. FML

We are continuing our XTAS watch, and every time The Kid sees Apocalypse they cheer. "It's the Ultimate Weirdo, and he's gonna bring Gambit back." No amount of pointing out Gambit isn't even dead yet will dissuade them 😂

I've always felt that X-Men is best when the stories are human and the central theme is when a community meets and supports your needs, you become your best self and make the world better. #uncannyxmen continues to scratch that itch. Not really #xspoilers but tagging just in case

An astoundingly misleading column by Colville. Firstly, ignores that there is already a 10 year route to ILR, shown to be massively damaging all round. Ignores many dependents also earn, and can't claim support from the state, and the grooming gangs line is frankly just a dog whistle. 1/
