I finished the 2nd edition of my award-winning novel, The Internet President: None of the Above. Let me know if you'd like to read it before publication.
Aliens watch over the election before doomsday. A non-politician changes their name to None of the Above and runs for president.

I've been using my CPAP machine consistently for a week.
I've noticed good brain for more of the day, and blood flow to other areas has also been more robust.
If you snore, get a sleep study. CPAP might have unexpected benefits.

#5amWritersClub early check-in so I can hit the ground running on a polish in the morning.
I finished the merge of the two chapters, and the combined chapter is now 44% shorter. That was challenging.

Sleep schedule transition day 2:
Time is eating me. 😱
Feeling lucky that time does not chew well, or I would be gristle.
Coming and going. What if time is like asteroids and I'm coming out the other side?
Transmuting night to morning. 🧙
Writing went well today.

#5amWritersClub I've been swinging between late nights and early mornings. Being untethered is unhealthy, so I'm taking on dropping my daughter off at school. The trade-off is a hit to early morning writing for consistent sleep.
