@tingenek It’s so early though … plenty of time to catch up! Power through a chunk of words.

My local NaNo community had a discord server and we do “writing sprints” on the discord all month — those sprints are what really make all the difference. I can get 500 words in 20 minutes if I’m really focusing.

You can do it! 😀

@AlexWolfe I haven’t written yet. At 4114 words I only need about 900 before I go to bed. I think I can make it work! 😺

@johnwhowrites I have just hit 4K so feeling good for day 2.

But I know it’s a long month so … too early to tell whether I’ll get it this time!

@AlexWolfe Good! I did lunch sprints and I have a bit over 4K words right now. Onward! 🌿 ❤️ 🍄
@johnwhowrites I am! This year I’m going to try a memoir draft. Maybe if I don’t have to spend time “making things up” I can write faster 😂

If you are on Twitter and want to find people who have opened accounts over here, someone made a little tool that scrapes Fediverse handles (and email addresses, since a lot of people drop the leading @) from the Twitter bios and display names of people you follow over there

Uh, it’s finally time. Years ago, I deleted Facebook. Now, it’s time to #deletetwitter 😇

Fuck Elon Musk.

Hoooo, Mastodon folks, it's been a minute.

What's up?

How is everyone surviving this plague? And all the quarantines and isolation?

I'm trying hard to find meaning, to take deep breaths, and to hug my pets.

Take care of yourselves out there. Stay safe. Wash your hands. And connect virtually with others, too.

@gingerrroot ... in terms of "what" to create, you should try to think of things that only YOU can do. What is your special skill/interest/obsession/hobby? What is your unique perspective? Also: What do you wish was out there, content-wise, in the universe of vlogs, essays, or art? Make what you think is missing! Your unique contribution 🌿 ❤️

Also: I try to keep a list of things to blog or journal about, to combat those "I don't know what to write" moments 😀
