Midweek molasses

Even though I wrote 1,143 words and worked on a bunch of platform stuff (mainly making IG posts), I feel drained and slow. Might be because of poor sleep, or the relatively slow work week compared to the craziness around this time last week. Anywho, I’m sure I’ll be fine! […]

The platform expands

My exploration into how Writers and Readers use Instagram exposed me to a lot of quote-based ‘grams. This is very much the norm among the bookish, and well received to boot! The nature of the IG platform for MostlyLies (and likely its eventual Facebook Page too) became blindingly obvious to […]

Stumble, still upright

After an excellent Sunday in which I ran my first DnD one-off, this Monday was a bit of a slump as I was robbed of energy and plagued with some stomach issues. Worked from home and was otherwise unproductive, hopefully until now! It’s eveningtime and I shall write some words! […]

Relative success

I wrote 2,217 words of Hunting Midnight Ep4 today, and there’s a clear path ahead on what I want to happen next. I’m past the 15K mark for the total count. Relativity speaking, when I stalled on Ep3 for months, it was around this point in the length (13K). I […]

Much doings

So, last post I had that idea for an Instagram account. So in the past 48, I went ahead and threw it together. Nine posts (easy to create) and already have 26 followers, lots of likes, and at least one or two people who already commented on liking/needing* the simple […]

Write. Write Now.

Edit: it is now alive with real content and everything! On the heels of the idea of “I am tired, but I must write” comes a damn sticky idea that refuses to let me sleep. Dammit, I need sleep this week! For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to […]

I am tired, but I must write

This is something I uttered to myself while sprawling in bed this evening. So I did, and got 1,191 words onto the screen. I can only hope such discipline maintains itself, as we’re barely 6% through the year. Personal trends show that I’ll start pretty strong, then fade off after […]

Surprises

It’s been an interesting day! The early morning mission failed, due to being unable to sleep until late, but that’s not the interesting thing. The first surprise was a crazy co-incidence: a new co-worker who moved here to Toronto from Montreal got to chatting, and it turns out that he […]

Weekend well spent

Today: 2,243 words Recount of the latest DnD adventure Tons of productive plotting Delicious brunch Equally delicious post-brunch nap Combined with Saturday’s errand filled day, high word count, and eventual ascension into board-game bliss, I’d grade this weekend as the best of 2018 so far. Last weekend was also fantastic […]

A responsible Saturday

I did lots of laundry, ran a few errands, and knocked out 2,975 words across two or so scenes in HMep4. I have used up all the runway there really in this episode’s first act, and need to start cooking on its own special standalone premise. I have a high […]
