I had too much sugar at a party today. I'm in a crabby mood from sugar low. I'm seriously twitching to trash my manuscripts. Sugar rush is bad for blood. :imp:
I'm in rebel kitty mode.
Me about to trash my books like dis mama cat.
See this heart-ball. Lemme crush it with my bare hands. Ooh. I'm so evil today.
Back to writing finally, hoping to get a lot written this week, now annoyed by covid-19 for making going out very inconvenient, feeling the cabin fever already.
I’m not a fan of the apocalypse genre, but you’ll see how quite normal people behave before and now, you can write a novel virus or zombie from nature.
It’s good that this panic ended in 1 day as for supermarkets, the goods are on the shelves again. But in pharmacies, they continue to sweep away antiviral drugs, antipyretic drugs, immunostimulants, and alcohol with antiseptics. People went crazy! Prices began to rise for food 2 times and for medicines 5-7 times!
And so if you do not pay attention to it, everything is as always, the sun is shining, +28 degrees Celsius, for the most part people walk cheerful.
Meanwhile, 10 people became ill, although there was only 1 on Sunday.
I write every day according to the chapter of a farmer, but I can’t start for a new novel yet, but I made a work plan for chapter 21 and drew two versions of a title page on a vector.
Chryiss There was some old movie something called Dr. Dolittle. Idk, but yeah my mumma said like she had watched it! They were released before I was even born as per her words :sweat_smile:
Ohh, finally there is someone alike
. I never go out and socialize much, leave about having friends so I never met anyone who did this :sweat_smile:.
And thank you, this lurker will be professional and highly authentic on this thread. _
Veronica8 I'm so evil today.
Ohh Noooooo! The world is in danger now!
Cubalm dubown, aclmay odwnay, Cochalulmum dudowacknun!
Did the evilness leave your soul now? I used the highly effective spell of mine :smile_cat:
Chryiss Write well :thumbsup:
You know I have mixed feelings for Covid,
1 To thank for letting me have holidays :sweat_smile:
2. To blame for locking me up in the house :sweat_smile:
Ikr, it's confusing and annoying too!
Hope, boredom strikes the current sensation CoV and it leaves us poor humans to live a happy life :pray:
I've been revising my Zaldizko paperback baby today for a special edition release. I'm aiming to re-release with corrections applied and insert images. I have about 5 images that I'm fitting into. I hope they turn out okay. I'll definitely need a proof copy before release. Unfortunately, with planes locked down intl. I won't be able to get overseas mail anymore. At least for a while. So, I'll need to be able to proof in PDF.
It's been cool being able to reconnect with my Famine boy, as I realised how much I enjoyed writing his story. It's not the greatest tale out there. It's the greatest one I can write with my current brain capacity. In short, I'm proud of my efforts on my Seriphyn Knight series. In particular, Zaldizko.
Edit: I'll have to go outside and get electronic stuff tomorrow. Think wires haven't gone out of shops.
It's spooky how my Sunflower story is kind of like a documentary account now. Sort of like I'm living a similar toughness that Hinata and Eiji are going through. Weird.
Sigh, I have lost my new skateboard!
Let the swindler die with utmost happiness!
May my mom bless me a new one! Which is quite impossible!
Mochimoshu Not good. I hope you're able to find it soon. Or get a better one.
Gourmet_DAO Hahaha! You could definitely write an apocalypse story with the current situation! Some people are apparently calling it that too irl.
Mochimoshu Same same. I’m lazy as is, but now I’m even more of a lazy sloth instead of being productive and writing as much as possible. My mixed feelings are the inconveniences of not meeting up in person for school due to having many constant group projects, seeing friends, and not being able to eat out because restaurants are closing. 
The only good thing is saving daily commute time and less laundry to clean because I’m just in pjs all day. 
Veronica8 I feel ya on enjoying writing Zaldizko—it’s how I feel about Canaan given I pick up my lazy arse to type it. It’s something about the fantasy genre and the quirky or idiosyncratic cast of characters that often go along the genre that make it a joy to write. But at the same time, sometimes a hassle because of how in-depth everything can get.
Good work writing~! :grin: And be safe out there lol!
Chryiss Sleeping is the best exercise, imo . And yeah, it's ok if you don't write! Write at your usual speed and in other times, just relax. Because once the school reopens, we again complain and demand for more holidays 
. Idk about you, but I do complain at the reopening day itself :grin:.
Ohh, group projects! All the best with that :thumbsup:
18 people got sick, WHO says no need to arrange meetings. and tomorrow at work we decided to hold a meeting, there will be 200 people ... fun, if you don’t go, they can fire you, if you go ... or maybe it’s easier to quit? life is one ... but work can still be found.
Looks like another short round of necro’d review swapping and the like cropped up again. Well eventually, those necroers will run out of such threads lol.
The new lavender blanket I finished crocheting is so nice. I can drape it over my bed or use it as an oversized shawl and haul it around my house for soft coziness anywhere. It was lovely curling up in it on the couch as I typed a chapter on my laptop.
Also, I love rain sounds. Going to rainymood.com is very nice for relaxing and getting into the mood of writing, or studying as I’ve done in the past.
[unknown] A blanket such as a Scottish plaid? Can you knit yourself? Cool!
Gourmet_DAO No, nothing that fancy. xD I can knit, but I much prefer crochet. I also find it quicker and easier to improvise on the dime without needing to look up references.
I mostly used triple crochets so that the blanket could be springy and scrunchy in order to best make use of the plushy yarn. I did 11 triple rows with a skip stitch for a grid pattern and then 2 rows of six triple crochets plus a skip stitch to create a stripe that was still springy. Then I went around the end with single-slip stitches for a short border and use up the rest of the yarn. In total, it took me a few weeks to make and probably 50-100 hours? Number is not exact lol. It took a while, but definitely not as long as it would’ve been had I been knitting.
Chryiss Crochet is difficult! We were forced to knit in high school at the labor lessons, it’s good that then the carpentry and locksmithing began, 2 years. A triple hook is very difficult. You need perseverance and patience. So you're really cool!
I also saw a machine that partially automates the work of knitting, but the material turns out to be some not so beautiful.

Something new is not being written for me. But I publish 1 - 2 chapters of the novel about the farm. I wonder why this is happening. It seems that he wrote the title pages of the new novel and drew up a plan, and there are ideas and thoughts and materials ... but nothing is written.
Comrades or gentlemen, writers, can share your experience or tips on how to start writing ?! How to motivate yourself! Or is it a creative thought, you need to let it settle, but it will ripen itself and then it will be possible to write new chapters for the novel?
While I'm confused.
