Last night I dreamed about editing documents in Word, and got very frustrated with formatting problems. The exact same formatting problems I have in real life. And no, I didn't solve them in my dream either 🤦🏼‍♀️#amwriting #dayjob

@alioop326 I have a PhD. I wipe my nose on my hand if I have to 😅 And then I go wash it 🤧

[Eliza Scott @WritesEliza]

At my happy place. Hot and humid as hell, but some quality rigging work was done and some quality bruises were earned. There might have been some quality swearing as well 😅 #swearlikeasailor https://t.co/lIUaHq4Tzd

Pet peeve of the day: using the word "stomped" to describe the walking motion of any character who is not a 5 year old child throwing a temper tantrum 😑 #amwriting #amreading

@WillExplain I'm differentiating between the main course (squaresail) and the fore and aft sail aft of the main on a brig; in some rigs that fore and aft sail is called a boom mainsail, in others it's the spanker. I still like main boomsail best 😸

[Eliza Scott @WritesEliza]

The sail that I thought was called a main boomsail, turns out, is actually called a boom mainsail. Now I'm disappointed; main boomsail sounds way more fun. It's a fantasy story, I can make up fake names for real things, why not fake sail names 😹 #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

Woke up with a sore throat and super swollen lymph nodes; antigen says it's not covid. This is the third time I've gotten sick since the pandemic started, and it's never been covid??

I accidentally wrote an excellent, inadvertent piece of foreshadowing while drafting tonight - 💛#serendipity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

I went to a burlesque/comedy show last night - I had two beers and was in bed by 11pm, yet I still feel like death this morning 😣 I think this is it. I'm officially old 😑

[Eliza Scott @WritesEliza]

I made the mistake of sitting down on the couch to drink my coffee. Looks like zero work is getting done today.

[Eliza Scott @WritesEliza]

Back to my Thursday morning cafe routine, for the first time in over two years. Feels super weird. But also, this is the best croissant I've had in over two years. #amwriting #workfromanywhere #Coffee

I'm trying to edit a 12-page research strategy, but really all I'm doing is removing hyphens. Cell-line. Cancer-cell. Liquid-biopsy. Dear-god. #amediting #science

Just applied to be a volunteer diver at the local aquarium - because I really need more hobbies in my life??

[Eliza Scott @WritesEliza]

@vans0ffhead It's not dead, don't worry! I've just had a lot of conflicting priorities to work out the past couple years; hoping to revive it this spring, but I'm afraid to promise anything 😶 #writerproblems

The power has been out for three hours and counting; I'm keeping the PTSD at bay by pretending I'm camping. It's mostly working?

[Eliza Scott @WritesEliza]

That feeling when you have the entire climbing gym to yourself ❤ #crosstraining

Caught this bastard trying to escape up the wall 😒 #gardening

Currently at war with the caterpillars in my garden 😑

Goals for July:
1. Write 500 words a day for 25/31 days;
2. Focus on the positives
