I only expected to write about 3000 words at work today, not 4400, so I actually finished my chapter goal. Which is good! But also means I didn't bring either of the books I'd usually read during the final stretch. Oops.

Bought a handful of novels and short story collections by early 20th century writers best known for the realism of their characters. I'd love to use them to get into the headspace of applying that to more fantastical genre fiction.

There's a cyberpunk setting that I wrote a novella in that I need to go back to at some point. Gotta settle on some world building things so I can play with it more.

I have so many simmering Spacecraft EDH deck ideas that are waiting on the next few weeks to decide if they'll be viable. I need an absolutely dumb number of spacecraft decks...

Found a Niv-Mizzet Ghost Counsel budget deck that I might grab stuff for. Knew I'd want exactly one more budget deck to cut down on shipping costs, so I put together a budget Zodiark deck as well. Should form a decent base to build off later.

Showing incredible restraint by not going to the bookstore. I fear I'd pick out a bunch of history books I do not have shelf space for and probably won't need for a very long time.

Sometimes my writing desires really boil down to "I want to make the readers feel something." Anything. The literary version of going on a quiet walk for the sake of being elsewhere. Not world-shaking events. Just a journey.

I need to knock out a side project before diving into the next big novel. Which has meant giving myself a goal of writing 20 chapters in four weeks. 8 out of 20 done, and right on schedule >83

I definitely want to have a few very straightforward beginner EDH decks in my collection just for teaching friends how to play. Nabbing the Giada pre-con because it seems to have that vibe. Also might put together Denzilore and Ingris budget decks for the same reason.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
