Lol!

I agree that it’s good to get good rest, and generally best to sleep and wake up early. However, I think the exhaustion of adulthood is often life itself. XD Yes, good sleep makes it better, as does understanding different ways to truly rest and good time management. But I wouldn’t dare look at the young mom and say “if you…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yeah I’ve always loved hanging out with older folks. I’m just super conditioned to calling people Mr. or Mrs. and feeling disrespectful otherwise.

To put it in perspective, I’ve gone to bed at 8, woken at 8, and felt hungover until noon. My mum has insomnia. It’s just a quality of sleep thing.

If it’s not lack of sleep hygiene, it’s little creatures about three feet tall with runny noses.

The HOrRoR. 🤣 I have some adult mom friends (friends? Weird to say when I’m nineteen but I can’t think of any other word) who have hyper crazy kids and still have a tight schedule. I don’t know how they do it.…[Read more]

I think it’s a fern that’s young fronds grow as little blue curls and can be coiled into pellets. It’s usually wound around a certain red berry and dried. The fern has a fresh green taste while the berry is supper tart and bitter. When steeped into a tea, it’s a dark purple color and usually drunk with several spoonfuls of honey.

@whalekeeper

Ugh. XD Comes up in 80% of conversations. Small talk when the weather isn’t really interesting.

Adult life shouldn’t be like this. We should sleep more. Although, considering the people I work with are either busy middle aged folk or young parents of small children, people have reasons to be tired. If it’s not lack of sleep…[Read more]

My crochet hobby is currently paused my lack of yarn and my unwillingness to spend money on anything that isn’t necessary for survival or chocolate

@whalekeeper

It’s been going kinda good. My original goal of half an hour is still not happening at all, but I’m still doing a lot more than I used to. Keeping my writing glasses and journal and outline cards by my bed has helped a ton. I figured out a huge chunk of my inky project just now and changed the magic system yet again. It’s turning out…[Read more]

@grcr That’s okay. Whatever you want to do. :]

@loopylin

Sorry for skipping last week. How did the last two weeks go? Were you still enchanted by crochet, or did you manage to pull away and put in some writing time?

Lucille

“…I don’t know,” Lucy admitted. “Hypotheses are hard.”

Her thoughts didn’t make much sense out loud. She watched as two little black eyestalks popped out of the shell in Mel’s palm.

@ellette-giselle Ok good!

Not a Great KP Scare meme but too relatable. Agreed with my mum that I need to get into the doctor again because I might be developing her chronic sleeping issues.

@ellette-giselle

Okay. I’m sorry your head hurts. Have you eaten? Drunk water? Gone for a walk? Snuggled with a pet?

@grcr

Aw. What might motivate you?

@ellette-giselle

I want to know about the specific situation in your story. Vaguely mentioning the Soviets and New York is not painting me a clear picture.

Or I’m just stupid and this concept is not clicking for me. *Cries*

I should shut up 😅 Okay, never mind all this

I just realized you might still be deciding all this. I’m sorry if this is not something you’re confident on. Questioning dystopian premises is what I do every time I read a book with this stuff.

@ellette-giselle

Meaning? Is America taken over by another country and that country is the one making the laws?

@ellette-giselle

I get that. I was actually saying I don’t see how that’s a viable strategy for a country right after a world war and civil war.

This is the thing I said that I’m most concerned about:

Because you just said family is what the men believe is worth fighting for, and if this is still America and they’re ravaged this badly, w…
