It’s pouring this afternoon. I’ve got the window cracked to hear the sound. My laptop and notebook are open. Time to write

I've been slogging through this edit. I've added tons of complexity to the worldbuilding and have set up future conflict. I was feeling proud of myself until I realized the wrong person is delivering this information. I have to make up a new character and redo it AGAIN. Fuck me 😂 #writingcommunity

150305 SHINee's JONGHYUN 'Beautiful Tonight' @ PICNIC LIVE

Most of Jonghyun's music is jazzy/bluesy/funky. When I first watched this performance of Beautiful Tonight, I knew I loved him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkbS...

Since Jonghyun's birthday is coming up in a few days I was thinking about his song writing, his composing, and his performances. He was so so good. His voice---so powerful, yet most of his music is quiet and reflective. This one though...he lets it rip a bit #kpop www.youtube.com/watch?v=7chn...

Saw Dune part 2 and I’m still trying to process it. The film was breathtaking. There were some changes to characters and plot I did not like. I hope the movie does really well. I want Messiah

My first instinct was Lee-Land

4: my heart is empty
Me: oh? Why’s that?
4: because I love you so much, Mommy. All my love is spilling out and going to you. I think I need a hug to fill it back up

😭😭😭

I'm watching a show from circa 2017 and ugh. The shaky cam! This was the worst film trend and I'm so glad it's over

Maybe it’s the writer in me, but I’m truly baffled at the notion people would want an AI to write text messages for them. What’s…what’s the point?

A picture of a college text book. The upper third is filled with a picture of a long bridge going over some tropical water. The title says Business Analytics. Underneath it are 3 words: descriptive, predictive, prescriptive. This is also stupid

I love college textbooks. What does the bridge have to do with business analytics? Who TF cares! Assign your own meaning. Maybe the textbook will bridge the gap in your knowledge. Have no fear: this college text is Descriptive! Predictive! and Prescriptive!

As always, your alt text is *chef’s kiss*

A photo of Jonghyun’s last album, Poet Artist. It’s white with a large orange square. Jonghyun is in the center wearing a dark orange sweater looking to the right.

A note from the seller which says “Dear Swan, thank you for your purchasing this time! We look forward to seeing you again!”

A package of green tea the seller included

I ordered a sealed version of Jonghyun’s Poet|Artist on eBay for 28USD. The album shipped from Kyoto Japan and arrived less than 48 hours after I bought it. Included with the album was a kind note and a package of tea. I can’t believe how quickly it arrived

As I continue improving my writing skills new stuff is unearthed in this novel I'm editing. Previously unseen tension between characters and more complicated plot threads. Most days I worry about my ability to make it come together. I stumble forward anyway #amwriting #writingcommunity #authors

After I made my 4-year-old exit the bath she looked at me, sighed, and said, “I am as cold as the night”

Editing is a slog because you’re forced to read your own bad writing

- Why…why did I write this sentence *furiously deletes*

- Ew…this is so stereotypical *deletes*

- What was I thinking? *deletes*

There is no dopamine anywhere in this hell

David Lynch's Dune Getting Re-Released in U.S. Theaters for 40th Anniversary - IGN David Lynch's Dune is returning to U.S. theaters for a limited time this February to mark the 40th anniversary of the film.

* 4yr-old crab walking *
Husband: is there a crab in my house?!
4: I’m an actual human, I just crab walk sometimes

Today in ADHD: tried a new recipe and put it in the oven. Started cleaning. Got hyperfocused on cleaning. Smelled the new recipe getting toasty. Kept cleaning. Then it was burning. I KNEW. But I couldn’t stop cleaning because *just one more thing*. Food was burned. Cue meltdown

This book is surprisingly heavy! Excited to get into @straczynski.bsky.social’s latest

The fact this person said “power scaling” tells me they’re also waaaaay too invested in shonen battle mangas (which are also very inconsistent with that, I might add)

STOP

I ordered my best friend a copy for Christmas and I’m thinking I need to get one for myself too. It’s really special

Screen shot of SHINee’s Instagram story with a picture of Onew in a black turtle neck where they announce Circle grabbed Billboard’s top spot in both Korean and English.

The fact Onew got best Kpop album of the Year (according to Billboard) brought tears to my eyes because Circle is insanely good. It’s so comforting. A no skip album that I continually listen to on repeat. I’m so proud of him and I hope he feels well enough to come back in 2024

Probably too late for a recommendation but J. Michael Straczynski’s Together We Will Go is an amazing book. The audio version has a cast for the different characters. Some slight content warning but it was hopeful and it stuck with me

Exploring the Meaning of The Boy and the Heron If you’ve seen Miyazaki’s other works, a lot feels familiar. Yet the meaning of this film seems more shrouded.

My article for Twin Cities Geek about The Boy and the Heron’s themes is published! Have a read if you feel so inclined twincitiesgeek.com/2023/12/expl...

Making up birds is fun!

👋 I’m Amy and currently im working on a far future intergalactic political space opera. I’ve written a couple of short stories for this universe and have dabbled in some other genres. Speculative fiction is my passion. #amwriting

Birds. I didn’t realize it until recently, but there are always descriptions of birds in my work

Thanks for the tip. Found and blocked. As a Saint Paul resident this stuff is especially upsetting.

I like it as well. It reminds me of when I first got on Twitter in 2010. I only wish more people I enjoyed following there would quit Xitter and move here.
