Skinny Baby! #cats

"Musée des Beaux Arts" by W. H. Auden hit me hard this morning. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/159364...

I'm yearning for just one regular week. Just one. No weird holidays. No snow days. No sick kids. Just one Monday-Friday where everything is just on schedule and I can have devoted chunks of time to myself to work and write in the quiet.

By Audre Lorde from "Recreation"

Draft's on the shorter side this time...

*Me, playtesting with headphones on. Completely oblivious.* 9yo, from directly behind me: Mama, why don't your characters have any clothes on? OMG. I almost died. Me: Ummmm. It's a sex scene. 9yo: Oh. That would explain that! Okay then. *he wanders away*

Today I'm testing! Whenever I'm testing early in the morning, I always get swarmed by super excited cats 🐈

As an aside, I think I'm going to Seattle WorldCon this year... It's been years and years since I attended a con (basically, several horrible experiences at OryCon caused me to nope out of con culture real fast). But it's WorldCon. And it's in Seattle.

Congrats @langleyhyde.bsky.social for making 7B to the top 10 with over 500K reads 🥳 7B is an amazing branching story with a wonderful plot and a deeply care towards wlw players 💓 #romanceclub

I may’ve lost 2-3k, but my lupine is germinating. It was simply the universe telling me it’s time to draft in a different program. And the second time I write that scene? I’ll be better at it. :) #amwriting

Well. Program crashed. And I lost all of yesterday's writing. Plus, it was a scene that was hard for me to write, emotionally. So now I get to go through that again...

Sleepy pup… #dogs

Today I'm beginning to draft Season 3. Can't believe I'm figuring out to cram in those last subplots before wrapping it up... 😲

Enjoying sunshine on the cat wall… #cats

It's been such a groggy morning... I've finalized all the asset descriptions and turned in the freeze for the final episode of Season 2. I'm now working very slowly on fleshing out the outline (I had it in my mind already in broad, sweeping strokes) for Season 3!

If you were reincarnated as your own cat, what would your life be like?

c9 draft done! I've got to post it to my editor--this weekend I'm going to spend time with my family and get the house in working order :)

#cats

All right, all right! I started out with 5938 and I landed on 8564, so that's a day that beats yesterday. I have a few misc tasks, and then I need to get up and stretch! I have a meeting tonight about financials for depraved fancy. :)

Yesterday was rough! BUT I have a solid draft on one branch of my S2 finale, my doc said my foot's healing well (yay vitamins) so I'm feeling optimistic today! If you had a hard day yesterday, please look for kindness and beauty in the world today! And if all else fails, appreciate the sky! ❤️

For all those who've been wondering, yes, James will have a full love-line that will include the option of being endgame in Season 3. See you there!

Here's where I'm starting at for drafting c9. So 900 words of outline, roughly.

The freeze is posted, so c8 is all wrapped up and I can get to plotting c9! Kids are home today, so it's probably not in the cards... but maybe...
