The Prince's Prized Possession

Bai adored the spotlight. Night after night of awed gasps and amazed cheers as he flew through the air with his acrobatics troupe and their exceedingly well practiced routine. On stage, he was a ghost...

It's so much fun to write a silly little guy getting used to being pampered. Especially when you know you're going to put him through hell later 😈

The school sweet potato I take care of sprouted a mushroom today. It's the little things that make you happy.

Got peed on by a sleepy kid today. Has no pants to change into. An older teacher graciously offered me their spares. Did not succeed in not crying. Bought more pants after work, and still somehow wrote over 1k words of chapter outline before the library closed. Been a day, that's for sure.

That's fantastic news! As someone struggling with ADHD, I'm looking forward to following the project!

This looks promising! Would one have to live in the UK to participate?

Tonight's writing session came as easily as pulling teeth, but I got it done. One more chapter to add to the serialization queue.

Was just informed from tomorrow onward I start fifteen minutes later. Which means I leave fifteen minutes later. Which means I miss out on fifteen minutes of after work library time, for at least the entire month of October. Am sad.

Someone point me to a job like this

fesshole 🧻 @fesshole.bsky.social · 20d

I have a job with hardly any accountability, other than attending a few teams meetings each week which i barely speak in. In the office each day I load a 7yr old spreadsheet on my big screen to look busy. On my small screen i'm writing my latest erotic novel.

D.P. Flowers @dpflowers.bsky.social · 20d

Some days all I want is to work part time, keep house, and write books 📚
Other days I think about the feasibility of starting my own publication and localization company out of Tokyo, helping other indie authors and artists exchange markets.

Got to write spice adjacent tonight. It was a good night. 🥰

D.P. Flowers @dpflowers.bsky.social · 24d

Must write in chronological order. Finally getting closer and closer to the spice. Can't wait!

I'm heading off to bed, but I'm thinking about doing a little experiment. #AskMeAnything. I'll answer in the morning. I'm curious what the app's reach is.

I totally get that feeling! Being from a small town in America where you need a car to do anything, there's a real culture shock when there's decent public transportation and everything you need is in a walkable distance lol

That's why I live Tokyo adjacent. I get the convenience of Tokyo, but a break from the humans 😆

Went to the library to type after work as per usual, and an older gentleman was using the library computers completely perpendicular to where I was set up with my laptop. Dude ripped ass at least three times. Thank goodness I had my mask 🤢😷

Today's heat was awful in Saitama, too 🥵
Hopefully your plane had good air conditioning!

The new #HowToTrainYourDragon finally came to Japan and after yesterday's health check shift I decided to treat myself ✨
So worth it to see in theaters! Even got a fancy little fall coffee after ☕🍠
Did you know you can get caramel popcorn in Japanese movie theaters?

Chugging along chugging along... Buncha words finished tonight, and a new chapter added to the queue. No library for me tomorrow, gotta go in earlier than usual on Saturday for the dreaded health check shift. Sooooo happy Monday is a holiday 😭

Did not enter the library with the desire to write. I'm tired. The environment pulled almost a thousand words out of me in an hour anyway. Libraries are magic.

D.P. Flowers @dpflowers.bsky.social · Sep 10

Back at the library again ✨
This week is going to be killer, working six days in a row with a mandatory Saturday shift including the yearly health check, but at least Monday is a holiday and I'll still get two days off 😭
