I have freelanced for years but every time I get to go see a movie at an empty theater on a work day afternoon I feel like I'm getting away with something.

But where is the new social media that bans nazis AND mansplaining, guys

I had not realized how much Twitter had trained my brain to skip longer blocks of text until I joined Mastodon and got a stream full of good thoughts in more than 140 characters.

That liminal state where your MS is with reader/agent and you have no idea what to do with yourself after months of working on the same project. Which you know needs more work but you can't touch until feedback comes in.

I could be a proper professional and work on a short story or the outline for book 2 but...

...nah, this calls for fanfic.

oh my god mastodon is a way to be nice but in a chill way to strangers on the internet

this is all i've ever wanted in life time to MAKE SOME MOTHERFUCKERS FEEL GOOD

I CAME HERE TO BE NICE TO PEOPLE AND CHEW BUBBLE GUM AND I'M ALL OUT OF PEPPERMINT BUT NO WORRIES I TOTALLY HAVE OTHER FLAVORS SO HERE HAVE SOME GUM!

People are showing me their puppers so I am declaring a Take a Woof, Leave a Woof program:

Welp made the mistake of checking news and othersite tonight. Someone pass me a puppy.

tfw trying to convince friends to try Mastodon with you

writer: I am so tired of this book I am . It is terrible. I never want to write in this world again.
beta reader: I loved this book!
also writer: Of course it's a series. I have a dozen sequels planned. This is my legacy.

Twitter: The world is literally burning and we are all seriously going to die screaming.

Masotodon: Yep. Do your best! We believe in you! Do you like my art? You have such a great instance domain name!

Wow, why has the internet made that many hashtags feel so dirty. Anyway. Follow me for writing angst and joyous fangirling over any number of things.

I am on a lull while current MS is with readers so this is, of course, the perfect time to dink around with a new (better?) social media stream. You had me at no-nazis and CWs, Mastodon. <3

Yet another newbie toot. Hey and peeps let's be friends
