Hey @adamchristopher.me how'd you do yesterday?
I wrote 3K but am probably going to start today by scrapping some of it. And I have accepted that #doneby1 is probably the best I can do cute hashtag wise.

Last time I went to the dentist I got three fillings and started to have a panic attack-- it wasn't the drill or anything, but they stuffed all that cotton and whatnot in my mouth and my nose started to get stuffy so the brain was like "am I going to suffocate" etc. which has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
