I guy another rejection today, and sent out another query for #Dragonson. That’s 29 rejections so far, and 5 active queries. The road goes ever on and on.

Also I’ve been watching Andor, and it is way too relatable recently. #peacefulresistance

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Immigrants are NOT the problem. They are NOT the enemy within. Immigrants make our country a better place. What say we make Spanish an official language of the US?

I love this channel, and they highlight really well the major problems with AI (creative use or research use). Don’t give in to the easy slop! Stay true to the soul of creativity and research :)

Today I edited two chapters of #Dragonson. Then I took a nap because I was falling asleep in my chair.

Nice! We once used a Cheeto as a candle. It worked surprisingly well.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

Today I did line-edits for two more chapters of #Dragonson. I’m quite tired, but glad I got some writing done. As I wrote my son was building legos on the table next to me.

Today I edited more of #Dragonson! I started using Hemingwayapp.com to look for line edits to make my writing clearer. Hemingway is free and pretty simple to use, I like it.

I re-wrote a scene in #Dragonson today. I basically just changed the order of two incidents in the scene, but that meant I had to re-write the entire second one (almost). Editing can be such a pain, but I’m almost done!

I edited the last two scenes for my writing group to review of #Dragonson today! Then I took a nap because I was up past 11 last night cleaning and taking care of my kids.

I added another ~800 words to my short story Amazona today, bringing it up to 1680 words total! I’d like to bring it up to 2500, but I do like where it’s at and I’m not sure adding will really enhance the story. 🤷‍♂️

Today I wrote the first draft of a short story called Amazona. In it I portray the Amazon rainforest as a living entity, and tell the story of it trying to understand humans.

In case you missed it, the supreme court says it’s okay to detain people based on skin color, accent, and place of work. SCOTUS continues to support Trump‘s power grabs and racism.

I did a little editing of #Dragonson today, but most of my writing time I spent doing a character-building exercise. What do you do to build your characters, particularly MCs?
