Yesterday was a sticky day. Lost my wordcount streak, my wordgame streaks, barely got anything done, didn't get an important text — executive disfunction just generally kicked my ass all day.
Today...is worse. You'd think I'd be a little more used to people letting me down at this point but omg...
It's lucky I live so close to the beach coz it's going to make walking into the sea that much easier...fml

We had lots of fun hashtag games on Twitter so wanted to see if I could start one for the writing community on Mastodon!
Please share with #mastowriters and let’s make this a thing! We can learn more about each other and gush about our WIP’s #writing #writers #authors #author
Thought I had a monster in the bag on #4thewords tonight but then the bluebottle I zapped with the electric fly-swatter earlier somehow rose from the dead and bumbled around tormenting the dog like a fricken flying zombie long enough that I lost my battle and Mika ate my last rich tea biscuit. It's been a long fricken day.

reasons mastodon's "viral dampening effect" is a good thing:

👉🏻 no "main character of the day"
👉🏻 no free text searching for people to get angry at (and harrass)
👉🏻 doomscrolling is *actually bad for you* and not a thing we should be trying to replicate
👉🏻 birdsite's virality is heavily driven by actual paid advertising and bots. You think that "Explore" tab gets its content organically? really? That's not making connections between people, it's about driving sales.

Mastodon is not, and should not be, a 1:1 replacement for Twitter. But it *can* be a new place for you to make valuable connections with other human beings. #twitter #twittermigration

"To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

I’m not a huge fan of #NaNoWriMo. I get how goals can help keep people focused, but I’ve seen too many writers stress out about falling short. So, try not to be too hard on yourself if you don’t make your goal. Write from your heart and celebrate your creativity. But, whether you’re doing a #NaNoWriMo self-challenge or not, THANK YOU for writing!! The world needs to hear our stories 😀

I wasn't going to #nanowrimo this year but I thought I could use it to try to get back into the habit of writing everyday. Someone mentioned #4thewords in fb group and I'm a sucker for anything gamified. Holy Moly. It's a miracle if I can get 1k out in under an hour normally but yesterday I managed it in 45mins! Those endurance monsters sure do hit the spot! #amwriting
Pantone and Adobe have joined forces to try and extort more money out of artists and designers by removing certain long-used colours from their palettes unless we pay.
Here's the free alternative, thanks to Stuart Semple - spread the word!
