Rambling Thoughts from the Active Mind

 Fourth of July and Community Day for Pokemon GO. Goodness! What a clash, guys, but I'll be happy because I get a slushie and my son gets a soda... Mixed. I am rooting for him to be a mixologist at this point. He has a passion and people love a good drink down the road. Right now, he's just doing them for me and himself but I am happily planting seeds for him to go down that route. We'll see what he chooses. As long as he's happy, I am going to be happy for him.  Anyways, I've been having fun on Snapchat. I'll put the QR code below this. Anyways, I'm just documenting coolio things I'm doing during the day and showing I'm writing. Just random nonsense I'm up to.  Another thing, I'm debating on posting some nonsense to Wattpad . I've decided to make a draft to decide. I don't know if I want this piece to be posted or not. So I've told one of my author friends this and they agree I should do this. Worse, it gets deleted. Best, people...

 I really got nothing better to do. I actually do but in this heatwave? No. No, no, no. So I'm going to save the real writing for tomorrow because I'll have accountability buddies then. I really just wanted to world build a bit before really writing.  Now, I did get things done with world building once I got out of my head today. I am building a magical world, right? Why should I make the planet any less magical than the realm it dwells in? It's stupid, right? I need this validation! (Kidding.) However, that's another reason why I have writer's block, it's my own damn fault for thinking too much. It's annoying.  What's more annoying is that I didn't post to RoyalRoad yet in any capacity. Here's yapping about it is another. I'm just taking a break from writing though. Maybe I could write more today. Not by much but something is better than nothing, right?  I kind of hope on Friday the power goes out so I can focus on reading books instead of ...

 I am not okay. It's too hot to be in this friggin library, ya'll. I feel so gross right now but I'll be okay. It's gonna be a long week.  I'm just stalling in the library because I'm unsure of what to do. What to write. I want to do some world building, I want to make another story, and I want to write Death's Cat like I said I would. I'm tired and want to nap but I got about 2 hours before Book Bingo at the library starts.  I guess I'm stalling... Whatever. I'll just do my best with how I'm feeling right now. This heat is tiresome. That's all I can do.  I think I'm stalling on writing. Perfectionism is on my mind. Everyone expects perfection and never less. They want things highly edited, instant, and just when they demand. That's not how writing or art works. Art takes time to make and I'm including writing. I get it. You should be consistent and all of that but I don't see how it works for art. I do agree you should do...

 Send help! It's a heatwave. I should had went to the library but with some counties in my state (US) are in Extreme Heat Warnings... It may not be worth that 15 minute walk. Granted, it would had been okay but I'm not going to put child through that until tomorrow when Bingo starts. Yeah, I'm going to book bingo for the fun of it. Never expecting to win. Just in dire need of fun! I am going to wake up early tomorrow to get to the library to do some writing despite this hellish heat index (which is why we have those warnings and heat advisories). I don't know what-I lied. I do know what I want to work on. It's Death's Cat. Of course, it's Death's Cat. Then some world building, and then some Owen.  I think this lineup is going to make me happy tomorrow but I'll do my best to get through what I can. I also think I want to do some goofy stop motion where I can for YouTube and TikTok. Nothing serious like my work even though I am trying to be serious wit...

I don't know where to start here. I'll be honest. Didn't get into the contest so I'm writing my Death's Cat story for fun like I do with Owen. No more schedules as I am not keeping them and it's difficult. I'm going to be doing a writing sprint until 5pm to see how much of the second chapter I can get done before DnD. I'm going to be DoorDashing or trying to. Just need a bike pump. My tires are flat.  DnD's tonight. I get to level up so I'm trying (and failing) to focus on that so I'm going to wait until it's DnD so I can be held accountable and to make sure I'm doing things correctly (spoiler: probably not after a couple of years or so doing this).  I am also going to be doing a commission on my yarn business side. I don't mention it as it's just something I keep separate from everything else. I get to crochet for a baby! I love these commissions. I doubt I'll have a baby 2 but I'm always going to excited crocheting t...

 I have a lot of reading to do. Manga, research for catsiths, and more. LET ME EXPLAIN! I am reading Frieren, Death Note, and now Witch Hat Altiere. Now, I also got research material. Now, I got ANGEL: Broken Thrones (check out this book! My friend wrote it with blood, sweat, and many tears thanks to sleepless nights). Too many things to read for the summer and all of it welcomed because I won't be bored. Speaking of things to do: Owen will come back as my story for the contest... Well, thanks to life, I missed deadline. It's okay and here's why: I felt like I was racing against the clock. It was rushed. Everything about it felt rushed. Now, I can take my time but I still am going to do my best to write something just like Owen. I am just going to post to stories where I can. I feel pressured and some of it is my fault. I need to do things on my time. My own way.  I blame social media even when it's my fault. I just feel pressured with how social media is. Constantly p...
