Undeterred and not afreud.

If I had spent as much time writing this month as I did coveting GCG, I would have written more than 18000 words #sweetdefeat

I really liked the new superman movie. The hashtag joke is amazing.

Me: I should know better than to drink while I write.
DJ: Drinking while writing worked for Hemmingway. Do you think you're better than Hemmingway?!

Polished and reposted Sharp: A war Maddy wants no part of, but her mission takes her outside convent walls where she crosses paths with Lester, an unfriendly apothecary with secrets of his own. https://t.co/2Qlt8K4vhO

The bright side of getting the flu: finishing last year's nano story.

@pulpfictionbks @RebeccaYarros #pulpfictionbks # Thanks! I'm only Chapter 3 into the Fourth Wing you sold me earlier in November as 'the new hotness', and I already know I'm going to need the sequel.

Me: Chat GPT is really speeding up the process. Look, I typed in 'Floorplan for English country manor' and it has come up with all this.
DJ: How do you know it's right though?
Me: It doesn't have to be right, it just has to plausible.

Setting a story on the Continent. Have to adjust my thinking. In Europe, you walk four hours, and you're likely to come across a town. In Australia, you walk four hours, and you've likely not even moved on the map. #amwriting #Nanowrimo2023

Staff: You're finally taking a holiday. What are you doing to relax?
Me: I'm going to hole up in a hotel room for a week and write 50 000 words.
Staff:...
Me: *relaxing*

I'm trying to tie up last year's nano story before the madness begins this year, but the villain of the piece just keeps activating her trap cards. #nanowrimo

Me: Can you believe the amount of noise coming from a party with a bunch of allied health professionals?
DJ: Yes. I can.

Me: What? I can't work on Christmas? I'll have to storm down to Canberra and change the laws!
DJ: What's so good about this is that it's a state law, so storming down to Canberra will do nothing.

Dear neighbour, the irony of yelling at your kid at 1am to get a job is that the virtues espoused loudly are already well engrained in the people awake and listening to you. These are people who actually need to be sleeping now in order to get up in the morning to go to work.

I wrote wonton lifestyle instead of wanton lifestyle. The typo is the better story. #nanowrimo2022

#nanowrimo madness has begun.

DJ: It's weird that being hot shit is good, but being warm faeces is bad.
