So... I had to write a thing about "near death experiences" for my writers club tomorrow, and I didn't want to scare the pants off everyone with the majority of my experiences. I wrote this, instead. They don't care about wording, spelling, or sentence structure. It's more so done for community and friends.

I find it so difficult to not only write about myself, but to write in first person as well. It's like keeping a journal.

I write about fictional worlds and people. I never talk about myself. I never WRITE about myself, either. This is such a test, but I love it.

Busy life this week in my RL job, which means less time to write. However, revisions on book 3 are going great, so that means I don't want to adult today.

The battle rages on.

Once we fell out of favor
banishment was inevitable

No negotiation or consultation
available for us ghosts
with no leverage
and minimum resistance
to this quicksand existence

Our payback someday
will be a bitch

Imagine the open
communications exchange
if we did NOT take
every perceived slight
so personally?

If complete
and unrestrained honesty
was the rule
rather than exception?

Then we could all
conceivably
communicate
unrestrained
without all this animosity

#Runne Leavetaking 4 is up! After the battle in the Manor, SoYa and KiNa sit down to have a little heart-to-heart chat.

We knew they were coming. We assumed they were aggressive. We were right.

We had hoped to keep their arrival secret. In hindsight, that was foolish.

Scenes like this have been repeated in many places around the world, and the internet has ensured that everybody knows the truth: we are not alone, and we are fighting for our existence.

Let's respect the buzz
this chemical addition
to our bloodstream brings

Fear not potential addiction
to achieve this #euphoric state
(temporary as it may be)

Reality sure ain't that great

So what if our mood enhancing vice
hastens our inevitable demise

Why not ride this thrill ride guilt free?

#Today 31

Good day!

*Mount Sentinel. If you look close, there’s an M on it. Behind it is University Peak.

Right after sunrise on this chilly day, I’ll depart on a hike down Hellgate Canyon. If possible, it’ll be a long hike. I could see some drizzle.

This afternoon? Editing.

Be everwell.

#WordWevaers Mar 31. SC POV: What's your idea of a romantic evening?

Laxmi: I don't know. My girlfriend's the one who's got all the good romantic ideas, so whatever she comes up with.
Hoa: Dinner and a movie about canceling the apocalypse, preferably after we've spent the afternoon at a climate protest.
Konrad: I like Hoa's idea. ... Damn it, I said I wasn't answering more of these!

my latest novel idea attempting to distract me from my WIPs is about extradimensional "puzzle houses" that spring up behind doors in cities, run by immortal game masters who promise a single wish to anyone who can survive and complete six of these deadly environments

and someone is going to say "ah, like Squid Game?"

and I am going to respond "no, like The Crystal Maze"
