Journaling is not tedious, which is the point of journaling (unstructured writing). Don't delegate your mind to anyone else esp AI. There is strength in recognizing your own patterns.

I am accepted into my first writing workshop at the end of August! More details soon! #writingcommunity.

I went on a tour of an old INS building, where Japanese were first interned in WWII. It now houses artist studios, keeping landmarks, incl solitary confinement cells & names etched by the detained. more reflections soon. History is now. @winglukemuseum @OCANational #seattle.

I enjoyed the hell out of Feeding The Wheel @Therealkfm. The characters were so distinct in their personalities: one jerk and one complicit jerk. It's a story about asking for too much, not asking enough questions, and finally letting go. [see Goodreads] #tbr #horror #mustread

New short story approach. When I write spur of the moment, feelings only, I succeed in creation. But these are harder to place in mags. Writing to theme isn't my strength. How about writing to a market? I will attempt this starting in the Fall! #writingcommunity #writerx.

My wierd mentral cup + writers retreat gone wrong story was accepted! I'll be published in August 2025 (next month) in an antho of LOVE #writergrind #submission #writingcommunity #writerx.

@cohalloran is an author of dark fiction and president of @howlsociety. His novel Pushing Daisy is a haunting exploration of grief and toxic relationships. I loved his portrayal of flawed characters, which is also my favorite way to write stories!

Last year, I cancelled Netflix and now rent DVDs from the library. Not sure what that means for "progress". I find discovery and choice on digital only platforms not as fun, rewarding, or motiviating. I am a data scientist. #oldmillenialphilosophy #oldmillenialthoughts.
