Day 40: it's time to stop avoiding the important things.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 37: some things you write down and then just...catharsis.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Also apparently this revelation allows me to time travel one day forward in book revisions than is quantumly possible

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 36: Today In book research I learned what waterbikes are. They're just bikes but they have floaties and like a ferryboat waterwheel like you're a professor out of a steampunk drug trip.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 33: I have more studying to do, but this time, on writing itself. Being an eternal student isn't so bad.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 31: Wikipedia is a hole of death and I'm glad it's here but clearly I have no self-control

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day...30 let's say: I can do this again. I can do this again. I can do this again.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day ???: Time is meaningless. Sleep is an illusion. Caffeine is the last hope.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

@roll20app You forgot "I want to support my friends by raising them as my undead army"

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 13: rubber ducky you're the one. You make revising slightly less painful.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 12: the right answer comes five minutes into starting the wrong task.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

@alexwhitebooks Not with that attitude.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 11: I'm second-guessing myself again. Maybe the first draft really was okay.

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 10: nooooo sleeeeeeep

[Gene Markey @Markeyverse]

Book revisions day 9: how do I stop stage directing? This isn't a screenplay. Everyone needs to stop nodding, sighing, frowning, staring...

Book revisions day 8: you see, this character's messy room is a metaphor for the chaos within themselves. But I've done laundry today, so clearly I am a functional adult.

Please don't open the closet.
