I wrote less than 1,000 words yesterday, the first time for this new novel. I found myself affected far too much by Sir Patrick's death and couldn't continue. Today is another day. A much better one, I hope.

ORSON WELLES & his Mercury Theatre actors broadcasting live — 88yrs ago today — his radio production of ‘The War Of The Worlds’, which was so brilliantly & believably done that it sent much of America into total panic.
This is spot on. It hurt tremendously when the good die.
Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 3h agoThe one thing I've taken from the reaction of deaths of Dolly Parton and Patrick Stewart is how much love there is towards people who represent goodness, and how much meaning they bring to people's lives, shaping the idea of the world they want to live in, giving them ideals to strive for.
Death, you keep fucking up and taking the wrong people. Please, no more. And leave "Star Trek" alone for a while.
Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86
He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

The Milwaukee Brewers won the World Series, and I am happy for them. They deserved it. They fought for it and earned every game they played. Good job. And know that Bob was watching the entire time. You did him proud.
I haven't done a lot of writing today. Given the way I feel, it's difficult to get something down in the computer while feeling like your whole body is revolting against you. May do some later, but right now I'm happy to relax today and hit it hard tomorrow
I had my Covid and flu shots today, and right now my body aches all over and my shoulders are sore, making sleeping difficult. It should all end today, but damn: this feeling is really miserable. But, onward to the day!
Why isn't this Rapist Asshole in Prison?

Today is that special day for our house panthers.
Walter Koenig from the original "Star Trek" has died. "Star Trek", in all incarnations, has been a huge part of my life, and it saddens me that the people who helped deepen my interest in science fiction are leaving us. Ad Astra, Walter. Be Seeing You.

It's the afternoon here and I've done all the stuff I usually do every day. Which means I have an open afternoon. I know I want to finish a novel scene, and I'll get to that after I eat lunch. Last full week of October. And... A Full Moon! Time to howl!
Going to watch "Anatomy of a Fall" tonight because I'm quite curious about this film, and because I like Sandra Hüller. It should be a good way to end the evening. Still have writing ahead, but I'll get it done. I'm going to have some great word counts come this time next week.
It's been something of a busy day today. But I've finished all my work, so I can relax tonight and watch "Ashes to Ashes". Reached the half-way point of my novel--though, is it really? I guess I'll find out sometime next month.
Good morning & welcome to #Caturday You don’t have to have everything figured out today. Sometimes it’s enough to turn up, be yourself and make somebody smile And if all else fails, find a sunny spot and look important What’s one little thing that would make you smile today
I got up at 5 AM and have accomplished only one thing this morning. Halloween is only 8 days away, and I can't wait. Going to write a scene in the next novel after this. The WiP is already over 70,000 words. I haven't written like this in some time. The last full weekend of October is here. Enjoy.
I'm reading "The Trial of Lizzie Borden" and the guy prosecuting Lizzie had this to say during his summation: "Abby Borden (the stepmother) was killed, not by the strong hand of a man, but by the weak and ineffectual blows of a woman." Man, so much misogynist bullshit flying around back then!
Today is a unusual anniversary for me: 7 years ago I was released from a behavioral health hospital. Since that time my mental health has been good, thanks to therapy and medication. Don't fail to neglect your mental health. It's not a sign of weakness to seek out help. We all need it now and then.
Night night sweet dreamies Some people make the world feel a little softer just by being in it. They may never realise how much their presence means, or how often they’re thought of with affection. If someone came to mind just now, perhaps you should tell them.
Tonight I finish "Life on Mars", which has been a great show. I'm glad I finally viewed it. Tomorrow, I begin "Ashes to Ashes" and more or less continue the story. Wrote over 5,000 words yesterday. I think I'll go a little slower today.
Today marks two weeks until the US Midterm elections. We all know the assignment, and we all know what's at stake. Get out and Vote. Show Your Power!
Today may be a great day, but let's remember one thing: billionaires are not dragons hording gold. They are, for the most part, greedy assholes who don't care for regular people. The act as if we are beneath them: they don't bother hiding it, either. They need to be eliminated. The serve no good.
Yesterday, I wrote just over 3,900 words, which is the most I've written in some time. The words are flowing nicely, and I feel I'll finish a chapter today. Writing feels good again, and I'm loving this novel. It's the start of another week. Everyone Try to have a good day!
I happen to love this. And continue to say Fuck ICE!
Yesterday, I had a bit of drama as my Bluesky account was suspended because they said I was spamming other accounts. Took most of 8 hours to fix, but here I am, back on the chain gang. Welcome to Sunday! Today the new novel crosses 50,000 words. And there is still plenty to write.
Love this movie and have always been creeped out by The Twins.
