I had started on Camp NaNoWriMo this month but then it's fizzled. Life just gets in the way sometimes. Also, I'm experimenting with writing my story by hand. I think I picked too big of a notebook because I can't carry it with me. It's discbound but also letter page size. If I was still using a book bag to travel with, maybe not so bad but I don't anymore.
I've been in the mood for something new and it's been a mental debate for me. I don't need these things but I love gadgets. My options that I'm debating:
- freewrite traveler (maybe Alpha because it's cheaper)
- pomera dm250
- just buy a new laptop (current is from 2014)
- use Bluetooth keyboard with my phone
- pick a better sized notebook for story writing
Anger is in abundance these days
Distraught
Where did our ethics go?
Who let our hearts fade?
Why did we give up our minds to anyone else?
Disconnected
Did we give it away?
Did we give up?

Join the fight. Studios are making billions while stopping projects, haulting original ideas, and putting many artists on unemployment and fighting for survival in a field they trained their lives for. Creatives are being taken advantage of and it's only getting worse with studios looking to use a.i. to cheapen work and make things based only on algorithms.
It's bleak, but we're working to keep art in animation. Help get the word out and support creatives you like. Many of us are now working to get our own ideas off the ground without the blocks of studios, constant rejections from disappointments that we're pitching original ideas (A real complaint I've received from studios), and without the many notes to make our ideas fit into a generic format. Instead of looking to studio CEO's, were looking to you to help us. Show studios you stand with us!

It feels like it's harder to be a kid these days, at least in suburbia. The kids float around in bubbles in which sometimes they interact with those outside their household. But the days in which it was fun to interact with people on a walk down the avenue or visiting a friend's home casually has become a weird concept.
At a community park, there were several daycares with their assigned group of kids in little buses but the kids didn't interact with each other but in their assigned group.
I knew it! The timing of this mess is right on the heels of Musk's disaster plan for Twitter. It was like real life copypasta.
anyway my hot take is that the modern night-of live reporting model is bad and probably should be illegal. democracy is not a spectator sport and the fact that news outlets are allowed to exploit partial vote counts for ratings is ghoulish. there is nothing you can learn the night of a major election that has greater value than waiting the several days to a week that it will take, and always has taken, for the final vote totals to be established
I really wanted to try the HON next. It actually fits in my Liberty fabrics cover really well, even though you don't need the cover. I prefer to use it so that I can carry a pen and loose papers. Looking forward to using this as my daily journal. #hobonichi #hobonichihon #libertyfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/CmwjVsau4vq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I went to the DC Pen Show in August and ordered a custom pen!
This time I spent my hour perusing the custom corner. Purchased a blank from Turnt Co, then walked around taking a look at shops that would make custom designs.
Came across Little Hollow Customs and loved chatting with them. They were new to me but it was fun putting faith and my dollars in on a small business to get something unique for me.
