Compost piles, first drafts, plane travel. Things I like because they benefit from my affinity for sitting around.

Wrote a sentence and may have to be satisfied with that.

Keeping a report of my expenses for this project, just had to include “200 plastic flies” bc I am exactly the adult that child-me expected.

What were your go-to meals as a child? Who cooked for you?

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

3 weeks later and I have a rough draft of my pitch.

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 23d

None of the big childrens magazines are currently accepting pitches or submissions. I want to write a kidlit column in an already-existing publication. If I can’t locate one I have a plan B, but I want to at least collect a few rejections before pivoting.

I'm afraid it's much worse than just being into it.

Thank you for reminding me—i need to track down Mickey 17, the book. Totally agree, amazing film. Started strong and kept getting stronger, esp since so much of the advertising was based on its (masterful) premise. One of those films where each act is better than the one before.

I think about pantsing and plotting as nature and nurture. It’s never really one or the other.

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 8d

OCD? Nah I got that under control years ago. Anyway I strongly feel that if the next 5 minutes pass without me writing a new sentence, the people I love will suffer.

At this point I only have a Facebook so I can periodically see how my high school creative writing teacher is doing.

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 10d

Always nice to look at your wip and feel good about it.

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 11d

I do! And it makes sense to have the scope you do and keep it. I do the same, but with analytical themes. Ill dip into different forms but my interests are the same (personhood and time)

Honey Hyman-Dworsky @hymandworsky.bsky.social · 11d

I can imagine how fun a watch it is for a historian. Im an anthropologist and the franchise built for it.
