Really hope this doesn't come to pass. Wake up people. youtube.com/shorts/DqaaT...

Just finished watching Superman. And I have thoughts. As a writer, there's a lot more telling than showing than I would have liked. And I feel like Superman wasn't fully embodied if that makes sense. Maybe it was trying to do too much? But there were flashes of things I liked.

Thoughts On Consuming News — DLSteffen Here’s the comment I posted on Chuck Wendig’s blog. The site is called Terrible Minds. The post is “ A Small But Vital Thing, Taken . ” I felt like I could have wri tten so much more, but left it rela...

A comment turned blog post?! Yup!

Thanks @chuckwendig.bsky.social. I hope better times are ahead for us all. At least I have your blog and books to make the day a bit better rather than filled with misery.

Our kitty, Mama cat. I've known her since I was 17. She's 16 we think. Still cute as ever. Thankful my fiancee sends me photos of her whenever she can. A cute calico kitty!

Dad is home from the hospital. Excited to see him and my mom tomorrow. One doctor said he has the heart of a 20 year old and no signs he had a heart attack (just a minor infection around the sack around the heart). Not bad after fighting cancer for 7 years, eh?

I felt that too. I had strep throat a couple of months back, and it derailed my writing for a month. Pollen has been bad this year too. I had to rest and give myself grace (which is easier said than done). Sending good vibes your way!

Oh, I'm just finishing my first draft. You got this!

Beyond Writing: 5 Things Writers Are — DLSteffen To be a writer is to be much more than that. It’s not that we sit down and pound at the keys without something else in our minds. You know the old, tired phrase, “Write what you know” which I myself h...

There's so much talk about what we hate, but what about what we are for? The whole Elon/Trump feud is like two negatives trying to cancel each other out. I think that's why it's so satisfying. But don't forget to remember what we are for, not just what we are against. #June5

The optics are hilarious, that one random person convinced the richest man in the planet to back down from something he seemed set on doing. So much performance.

One thing I feel like is happening with society is that we are structured to be against anything we don't like, but wouldn't we be better off to support the things we do like? It's like giving up all junk food all the time and not knowing what to eat when you can make a healthy salad. #randomthought

Enjoying The Ride — DLSteffen Man, what a month it’s been. I’ll admit, I haven’t gotten around to much writing lately, but sometimes in life, we hit some speed bumps. No one died or anything. If anything, the overall health of eve...

Another thing I noticed about Facebook is that it's changed to be even more eCommerce focused. It's not what your friends like or have to say, but what businesses they like and what those have to say. Makes sense with TikTok I suppose (which I still haven't used or downloaded.) #Facebookobservations

Really wish Facebook had "work accounts" or a split profile instead of tying everything into my personal account. Too easy to get distracted. Something I need to work on, but I'm using social media a lot less on a personal level and feeling better for it. Still...tests my monkey mind.

It's like someone who shot themselves in the foot at a party, spilling blood over everyone, but the rich party bros are patting him on the back for slapping a band-aid on it. And those party bros knew he would do it and made money by filming it and posting it to "America's Funniest Home Videos."

What It Feels Like, Right Now When I was in college in North Carolina, I flew home to Pennsylvania for the holidays. My mother and father were going through a divorce at that point (a divorce that should’ve happened many …

Wrote a thing. Maybe it's a thing you wanna read, I dunno. We'll see. *lays it gently at your feet*

If TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) applies to those upset about Trump and how he operates as President, would you call people obsessed with those people as suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome Syndrome? One is upset for specific reasons, the other is just upset at others for being upset. 🤷

• I start the day knowing I have some words down for the day.
• I get less words down, but since my mornings are consistently free, I am getting more words in overall.
• I can enjoy my evenings for refilling my creative well.

Do what works best to keep writing. Experiment, Try, Fail, Try Again.

Changed my writing routine to do it in the morning now.

Some things I've noticed for me:

Tree buds are coming
Appearing after winter
Even the trees rest

909 words tonight. Over 50,000 officially. Only about 80,000 more to go? Excited to be in the second act. #writing #fantasywriting

My hair is experiencing a positive charge. I've been told I need to be more grounded. Is this what they meant? 😆

Just a little dry in the office today.
