#LateNightWrite sometimes! Many of my projects have a playlist that's built while writing, though I'll sometimes add to it afterwards. I always know what project I was working on a lot that year when I see my music roundup. 😅 I'll be sharing the one for my new novella once it's out in the world!

#LateNightWrite Welcome back! I’m in a playlist mood tonight and about to make it everyone’s problem! Do you often make playlists for your WIPs or characters? (spoiler: if you don't, you're about to!)

I used barrelmancy this go around, and if I ever attempt a tact run again for the achievement, will DEFINITELY be doing it for more of the bosses.

Some of us are using it to take out Raphael's soul pillars and half his minions in the first round of combat.

I think it could be cool, I think it could be from Avaline's perspective this time... A followup, perhaps? Who knows! Much 2 Think About. It will, of course, have Nipa. He's non negotiable.

zebra shark, adult and juvenile

(Swim On 9, 2023) #art #sciart 🎨🦑🦈

$Illustration of a juvenile and adult zebra shark swimming near the ocean floor. Sunlight streams through the water, light refracting onto the sand and backs of each shark. The adult swims below in a gentle curve while the juvenile swims overhead, demonstrating the black and white stripes that earned this shark its name.$

Maybe when I am less burnt out and have whatever my current/next project is on more solid ground and my next novella out in the world, I will consider playing in the world of Of All the Stars once more and doing a companion novella 🤔

Kris Madigan @krismadigan.bsky.social · 2d

I shall see who feels compelled to tag along, perhaps the shark that already came with a carabiner... Also he can be washed easily.

I actually have two little plushies in the car all the time and it's nice for traffic or longer drives :3 but they stay in the car so they're not getting overly dirty

*gestures vaguely at several other plush friends I have in various places of my room who could benefit from sightseeing*

I did actually have a custom made owl that came with me places but decided to let him be because it was hard to clean him (felt) and I didn't want him to get too dirty or ruined

Ah you see, there are.... But I have resisted for several years.

Two angles of the quagsire puppet from Pokemon. A light blue salamander-esque little guy looks blankly off camera in one, and at the camera in the other.

Bring a sweatshirt! You may or may not need it, but it can get cold in the rinks.

Yeah that aspect def makes it frustrating, your options are more limited when you're housebound. 🫂 I also worked in marketing & KNEW how much time & energy this would take. I'm happy to have published but if I want to feel like a person, I can't be online All The Time. Doing it all alone is A Lot.

Kris Madigan @krismadigan.bsky.social · 2d

🫂 this is how I've been feeling. I'm having new offline experiences, rebuilding my irl community, and trying in general not to be so on my devices, but then there's struggling with obligation, self promotion, and building community on here

this is not helping my argument against getting a quagsire puppet 😂 mostly because I have plenty of little guys to take with me to explore the world and sit with me if I want to not feel alone and weird going places myself!

They've already furloughed some where I live, of course so they don't have to pay them.

Had to drop off my ballot and pick up a hold at the library, so I decided to treat myself to a yummy drink on the way home. Excited to dig into this book because reasons*, but also because it means less time in front of a screen.

*the reasons are I'm gay

A tan book with sappho strumming a lyre lays on a wooden table. A takeout cup of tasty matcha is next to it, and there are also some chonky snake figurines from the year of the snake in the background. The book is called Reading Sappho: Contemporary Approaches, edited by Ellen Greene

I sorted books today at a volunteering thing and it was honestly a trip down memory lane. Lots of old books from elementary schools who were probably purging their collections, and it was all the stuff I grew up reading. Makes me excited that kids will still be reading them decades later!

I keep ending up with more questions than answers about this potential new project
