Just realized one of my main female characters shares a name with a current student on accident.

I'll be busy with (non-writing) work quite a lot this weekend, so likely as long as I get decent sleep and remember to eat/drink water, I should be golden to pick up where I left off whenever I find myself with some down time.

Q4: What can you do in the next three days to make the next week of #FirstDraftFall easier for yourself? #WeeknightWriters

I’ve been hired as an editor for a 24 page comic book project.

I’m looking to hire an artist and a colorist for the production team. Must have professional experience working for bigger comic publishers, as we’re looking for names to draw in a crowd.

If interested lmk below.

Full page rate.

Favorite part?

🤔

Shaking off my burnout, I guess? That's more of a personal answer, but for a good 8-9 months this year I couldn't write anything due to professional/creative burnout and a strong fight with imposter syndrome.

Q3: Let’s cheer things up a bit! What’s your favourite part of #FirstDraftFall so far? #WeeknightWriters
November 14, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Today was research day. I had to figure out two elements that will be major parts of the story going forward. The first one was easy (ish).

1/2

PSA: There is no Republican health care plan.

Excited at the moment. Haven't been this jazzed about a WIP in months.

Trying to avoid looking too far ahead into the future (i.e. what do I do with this story once it's drafted).

#WeeknightWriters
Q1: How are you feeling about your #FirstDraftFall progress so far? Excited? Disheartened? #WeeknightWriters

Writer near-ish to Seattle.

Current major WIP (I have other stories and non-fictions that are lower priority) is a story tentatively titled "Death on the Dance Floor".

Week has been productive. Took a mental health day off yesterday and used today as a research day.

#WeeknightWriters
Hello #WeeknightWriters! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your #FirstDraftFall project is going!

Alright, research topic #1 done.

Now, to choose a love song to use in the story, which is admittedly much harder than choosing a poison.

We recently lost our resident "grumpy old man", Mittens.

He was sweet, but grew quite crotchedy (I mean that affectionately) in his old age. We all miss him dearly.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Had a good mental health day yesterday that included rest, AEW Blood and Guts, and reading a few volumes of manga.

Today I'm (hopefully) back to being productive with words before I go teach my class tonight.

I can hear Marin's voice via the font choices in this book. As someone who has trouble with this sort of thing, I can offer no higher praise.

Caught Up: Way of the Househusband (manga)

13 volumes in and this remains one of my favorite SOL series. It's a bit weird since it only tells around a dozen jokes in various ways, but I keep coming back for more.

Recent highlights included the ice skating and camping stories.

Just started AEW Blood and Guts.

First thing I noticed: Willow's earrings are totally going to get yanked.
November 13, 2025 at 1:52 AM
Won't be able to watch Blood and Guts live so closing social media for a while. Have fun everyone!

Local media is calling it: Katie Wilson will be the next mayor of Seattle.

Wilson ousts Mayor Bruce Harrell after running as a progressive challenger.

Her win is a west coast companion to Mamdani’s as a statement victory for the left.

Prediction: At some point in the not so distant future, the Justice Dept is going to say they "lost" the files "somehow".

Thank you past me for picking up that ready-made/microwavable meal a couple of nights ago so that I had a good lunch today without having to order something.

Finally decided last night that Yakuza Pirate is not for me which breaks my heart.

Love the concept, love the fighting, love just about everything in the game... except for the ship travel which left me endlessly frustrated and constantly lost at sea.

Maybe I'll just watch a playthrough instead.
