Managed to kill seven pages today. God, I loved this scene. But it did get in the way of the main conflict. I also beefed up a particularly romantic scene, making it even SEXIER than before, helped in large part by the modest butterflies I had after a breakfast date.
This confident productivity comes after sixty days off the cigarettes. Nearly back to my old self, thank goodness!
Affirmation of the day for a 3D artist:
I have patience - even when Blender crashes🫠

Folks, I did it! Two months off cigarettes! My wit has returned. Dopamine starting to come back. Writing seems sharper, although there's reduced energy for that as I continue to heal. The big surprise? More patience and control over my anger. I still feel sleeper at times. And there are longer periods in which I stare into space. But my singing is better and my coughing is almost absent now. I'm also reading like a maniac.
52 days without cigarettes. The greatest dilemma I have now is dealing with feelings and, in particular, anger. I am especially furious at all the self-important and not very bright men who are now holding us all hostage. Not just in politics, but in everyday life. Overconfident motherfuckers who don't know what they're talking about and who are inflexible to any opinion other than their own. It now sends me into a great stabby rage. And it gets me writing. So win win?

46 days off the cigarettes. I just did a hand rewrite of fourteen pages, with a lot of ruthless cuts and witty additions (specifically in relation to a bellhop in 1930). I am not quite back to my old self because I'm still negotiable the dopamine shortage. But a few beta readers have responded to some of today's lines with "Shut up, Ed. This is as sharp and as witty as anything you've done."
Anyway, I'm pretty hardcore about drowning babies as you can see. 🤣🤣
Largest Mass Resignation in US History as 100k Federal Workers Quit

33 days off cigarettes. Managed to get some solid rewrites in today, including a good two pages of handwritten dialogue in which I overhauled a scene and had some fun. Going to try again tomorrow. Writing fiction (compared to nonfiction) is very hard without my regular dopamine rush. But I now have some magnesium supplements, as recommended by my doctor, to trigger the creative brain until dopamine returns back to regular levels (three or four months after the quit).
#AndrewHastie says he would #quit the #COALition #frontbench if the #Liberals remain committed to a net zero by 2050 policy, spelling more trouble for #SussanLey as the opposition leader looks to steady a rocky ship.
The shadow home affairs minister & Western Australian MP claimed on Monday night that the #Albanese government’s target to #reduceemissions to net zero on 2005 levels by 2050 is being done in “the name of climate alarmism”. #auspol
