lol some dude bro in a Prius of all things stopped his car in the middle of the road to yell at me about my sign.

I have my (waterproof!) sign and I am off to rouse with the rabbles, but everyone please be safe out there. Do not forget the other side is depraved and wants violence. THEY SHOT THE DOG.

Legit spent 2 hrs last night trying to figure out how to finesse a piece of information into a scene before I realized one of my characters would just blurt it out (with an f-bomb or two.) #amwriting

I cannot even with how excited I am for this!

Also on Sunday, at the spring event at the local co-op, I bought a slug. This slug is gonna watch over me as I crawl through my novel edits. (-:

OMFG @wiswell.bsky.social HOW DID I MISS THIS YESTERDAY??? ALL THE ALL-CAPS CONGRATS AND THEN SOME! <3

Yardwork day, so I am even more unkempt than usual, but I stopped at the local co-op for milk and discovered they were having a small spring thing. They were out of milk but I got to hold a duckling so still a win (-:

Long, grueling dreams last night, last one was me puttering around alone in my badly destroyed house trying to see if I could fix anything before I bled to death, then just giving up and lying down on my porch to die. Woke up to that mood. So yeah, gonna be a quiet day for me, I think.
