Every time I get a republican political ad I giggle at the ad money being wasted.

Okay, I just watched this and damn! It's so bittersweet and good! Definitely worth it for those who like sirens, healing from family loss, and a bit of (implied) gore. youtu.be/eUa2V044BK4?...

I've enjoyed #AugCharWork. I overestimated how much work having a post every day would be though. So I'm doing a September Scene Structure Workshop... or #SepSceStru. But I'm not posting every day. Here's the schedule.

Tomorrow we start The August Character Workshop! It needs a hashtag, so... #AugCharWork I will be putting up 1 topic per day. I will link the posts to this one. Day 1's topic will: What Do They Need to Do? I am posting the reading list I used to build this workshop below for the interested.

Darius just wanted to live quietly and cope with his past. So, of course, he gets a late night call telling him to help a time traveling mage find the way to stop magic from being loosed on the world. You know, "quiet." 😩😂 Universal: bit.ly/b2r-WWC Itchio: bit.ly/itchWWC

Listen up bitches, this is serious. Here’s the plan for tomorrow morning. No exceptions. Everyone shows up. We’re gonna tumble out of bed. We’re gonna stumble to the kitchen. And we’re gonna pour ourselves a cup of goddamn ambition. Because we’ve got dreams they’ll never take away. Lock in.
