When you mess up the spelling so bad, spelling check scratches its head.

I just want to write, brain. Is that really too tough to do?

What helps you freestyle a scene? Something I've been struggling with is coming up with a scenario for characters on the fly, tension or not. I fear I don't know my characters well enough to write for them...

One of my characters is a demolition expert. How the hell do I look up "bomb making" without tipping off the FBI???

Ah, crap.

"I just want to write, is that too much to ask?" I plead with my brain.

"Move your head, fly boy!"

Its just a quote I have in my head for now, but one day, I hope to make it a scene in a book.

Updated the profile picture with art I commissioned for (think I said that right) and a quote from a book I read not too long ago (don't remember the name either)
Im a real person I swear.

I'll call it my buffer book and I've started with "In spite of the Inevitable" by @vazdimet.com , a fantastic queer sci-fantasy space adventure.

2. Yes, I know I've read it already, but as I said all the little details are forgotten so I see things again for the first time and go "ohhhh!" Without the anxieties of not knowing what's going to happen.

There's to reasons for this.

1. New stories give me anxiety now, especially when they are part of a series, case and point; reading Station Zero after Blacklight Express ( I was in tears finishing this). So I no longer read them at a voracious pace.

2. Enjoying something familiar, yet new.

I have made a huge mistake.

I typically read books once and count them as "read". And while I can recall the overall story later and don't think about rereading them, the delicious details escape me.

I've decided to change that.

Along with reading a new book, I'll reread an old one as well.
