I am trying to explain to my cat that I get up at 3:30 am to write, not to watch him roll on the keyboard. #CatMom

:joy: so cute, if you leave a decoy that smells like you next to your computer and pretend-type on it when he comes to visit he’ll lay on that instead. I do that with my cat except with used notebooks. Works well, she’s happy she gets to sit on my things and get skritches, and i’m happy i get to work without pushing cat hair out of the way.

Off Topic: I am pretty frustrated at moment after trying to make a phone call and being pissed off about my whole situation. I swear I hate being lied too.

On Topic: I’m going to write for as long as I can and have some fun. I can not be wasting time with certain people and allowing them to consume my thoughts.

:angry:

He’s our support animal. Takes all three of us, constantly, to support his emotional needs. Plus, every other human he sees. He loves people. It’s basically his entire personality. :joy:

I’ve been writing. Very little and in tiny sessions. Like a trickling faucet. But I guess a trickle is better than a drought?

Reading some very old writing of mine for inspiration. Funny how sometimes you find “gems” in writing that you consider to be your worst. :thinking:

My dog does this thing where she hops on the couch, and literally paws my hands away from the keyboard. Does it when I’m gaming too. Like no, mom, you’re not supposed to have fun on other stuff. Only have fun with me! It’s like she’s slapping my hands away. :laughing: Furbabies are the best. :dog: :cat:

That horrible disappointment you feel when you’re so desperate for the next update on your favorite show/anime/webtoon/whatever, that you look for fanfiction, and discover that NONE exist. :sob:

Ugh! I did too much today and I didn’t even write my story!
I am so damn exhausted that it is not even funny!

All the furniture moving is going to make me sore tomorrow. I am going to take it real easy tonight because I am feeling it.

Aww…I didn’t get to write because I was so distracted.
Curses! I am beat!

I am up way too early, but I was unable to sleep because of my racing mind.

It’s about to be 6:00am and I am way too amped for some reason.

So, I hope to get some writing done then fall to sleep because yesterday was a nightmare that shouldn’t have happened.

I shall log off in order to write and try to stay focus.

Yeah, he would bat the tablet or phone out of my hands, he knows how to kick out an internet plug-in and if all else fails, he tries to chew on the corner of the laptop or grips the giant power plug in on my desktop and tries to pull it out too. :sweat_smile: cats nowadays are electronically savvy

You can recognize your own voice usually in the old stuff. It’s a good feeling.

And yup, I am writing slowly as well, but story is progressing which is the main thing.

Oh my god! Chapter 0 (prologue) of Red Reign: Monster Supremacy was pretty fun writing. I enjoyed it regardless of the abundance of glaring issues.

I am still shaking at how great it came out even though it was a zero draft. I mean it could use plenty of work far as making it a bit better and edits later, but overall I enjoyed the process so much.

I am going to finish The Breakers novel, far as chapter 1, part 1. Things are starting to heat up, I can feel it.

Nothing else to report.

EDIT: I am done with part 1 of chapter 1. Now, on to part 2 of chapter 1.
