Nov 30th word count: 134
TOTAL #novelnovember word count: 3,840

I didn't hit my goal of writing every day. But it's more than I've written creatively in a long time, and I grew as a writer. It's not a total win, but it's far from a loss!!! 💛💛💛

Good job, self!

Duolingo calling me out for slacking at NaNoWriMo.

"I like talking about writing" indeed.

Now it's time to actually do it.

I believe that most of the world's pain and suffering is caused by misusing the gifts God gives us.

For, as soon as the spirit of God has finished revealing some sacred truth to a man, Lucifer comes to teach him how to turn that knowledge into a weapon against his fellowman.

915 words today! That's 3312 total.

That's my highest so far, this year. The main character and I are getting into a good flow, and the world is becoming more developed, bit by bit.

My LDS Bishop accidentally healing my buried religious trauma, again:

"Look at the young people of our congregation, doing such great things, it just proves...

"We're doing *something* right."

447 words today! Some of them were lovely and beautiful. Some of them felt awkward and clumsy. But my inner editor is supposed to be in hibernation until December, so let's just go with LOVELY

Slow and steady isn't winning this race, but it's sure not losing it either.

Food for thought: how extreme would the ratio (of people in genuine need to fraudsters) have to be, to change your position on SNAP?

(Note that most Republicans don't actually support ending SNAP, and there are 15 Republican Senators supporting Hawley's proposal to fund it during this shutdown.)

Um, Day 3 #AltNaNo update: 8 words before I fell asleep at the computer.

I mean technically within my commitment to write every day and see if I naturally write more over time

But maybe writing at 10pm is a bit much for my old brain 🤣

My goal is to keep writing something each day and hope that my word count naturally improves with tracked practice! So far, so good!

#AltNaNo writing session #1: 68 words

(My goal for this NaNoWriMo is to steadily increase my words per day, or per writing session, as I increase my mental stamina. Like independent reading stamina in upper elementary school.)

“It is true intelligence for a man to take a subject that is mysterious and great in itself and to unfold and simplify it so that a child can understand it.”
~John Taylor (Discourse, Deseret News, Sept. 30, 1857, 238)
i once had a professor comment that if you really knew your material, you could present it to anyone from any education background in a way they'd understand, from 1st graders to your phd peers

Sometimes I suspect that implicit-bias racism and explicit-deliberate racism sometimes require opposite solutions, and that racists-by-choice subconsciously know this and so hide behind racists-by-default for protection.

But then I think that human connection is an excellent remedy for either.

Today in my little conservative town

Somebody found a vaguely Hispanic-looking person's REAL ID at a Taco Bell, posted about it on social media, and returned it to its owner.

I didn't even see any racist jokes.

It gives me hope.
