I am learning so much about why writing on your phone on a roadtrip with only cell data and all day walkathons are difficult? Yesterday I walked 23,500 steps. Considering I'm extra fluffy, that wasn't easy. Did I mention I finally got the wifi password for our hotel tonight?

I didn't go as far today 16,000ish steps. I get to do it all again tomorrow and the next day. FIL wanted to do veterans day weekend(and until this Tuesday) in Colonial Williamsburg. Love it but makes Nano more challenging.

On a more writery note, I did come up with an idea for a steampunk method of shaping cannon balls. Take cast iron spheroids. Put them in a barrel. Chuck the container down a steep hill. Use an Archimedes Screw style device to transport balls back up hill. Repeat until desired smoothness is reached.

Anyways gonna go torture my protagonist. Hopefully it will get easier from here.

Jay O'Toole Author Icon - that is really hard. My mother really used to enjoy walking. Then she had her stroke and she was lucky to just get to the stop sign at the end of our street.
Hibernatin' tato🌲 Author Icon - Wowsa!! That's a lotta steps. Kudos to you. *Heart*
Hibernatin' tato🌲 Author Icon - I'm so sorry. That is sad.
I got a gift from PNG- 📓 Author Icon it's absolutely cute! Thank you!

You're very welcome, my friend.
I've never really thought of the question marks as cute, but 'each to his own' I suppose. *Smile* I was surprised to learn how *Shock* many Costumicons there are! Six hundred plus! I just renewed my own subscription too.
PNG- 📓 Author Icon - it reminds me of the Riddler from the Adam West version of Batman. I guess it reminds me of watching the reruns as a kid.
Hibernatin' tato🌲 Author Icon - It reminds me of the same thing --- except, before watching reruns, I watched Batman as NEW episodes in 1966-'67. *Wink*
Novemer 1st the dialogue my brain had without me

Setting: Inside the Valut, a dark void with only a backdrop of a city scape seen through a sky scraper window. Super Ego runs about The Vault frantically taking care of things it deems as duty.

[enter Conscious, excitedly gesticulating and looking like a manager getting ready to motivate their coworkers]
Conscious:Okay time to make that novel happen. This is what we preped for...wait, Super Ego, where's Id?

[from stage left enter a wild eyed, nervous looking Super Ego]

Super Ego: How should I know? I've been focused on the cleaning, waking up on time, getting ready for the family trip! Oh and dad's meds! I don't have time to look for Id oh wait, there they are!

[enter Id, wearing their underwear outside their pants, way too much rayon and a bath towel for a cape]

Id: Hey guys! Listen to all these sounds, washing machines, birds, traffic. Hey, what's that person over there talking about?! What are those random kids doing? What were we supposed to do? Novel? What novel? Oh hey, super ego! Wanna come wash this supper smelly laundry with me? I had the zoomies earlier but now my joints hurt! I live for distraction C'mon!

[Id runs off stage with Super Ego in tow. Leaving Conscious alone in The Vault]

Conscious: Oy vey!(they dial their phone) Hello, Denise? Yeah can you get my muse on the phone. I need a consult...No, they both took off and left me short on word count. Uh-huh. Thanks a million. Bye.

[End of scene lights fade]


I really need to focus*FacePalm*

Sphinxes are cool, but they're really high maintenance.
#2349211 by Hibernatin' tato🌲 Author IconMail Icon


Good story for people who like boobs and Halloween!(Sphinxes are ladies on the front half, lion on the back and wings and they eat people!)

Now I'm off to disturb myself and kill some historical zombies!
All caught up on Octoprep and 13!

PNG- 📓 Author Icon - there is No Face. This is a homage to a creature from Spirited Away, a Ghibli Studios anime. According to them a No Face is a shadow entity that wears a mask and eats people it lures in with false promises. But it only eats people because Yubaba's bath house environment made it go insane. Otherwise it's quite harmless. *Smile*
Hibernatin' tato🌲 Author Icon - Anywise, it's quite incomprehensible to a humble poet, such as meself, wha knows how to spell 'anime' and nothing else about it. *Wink* *Smile* I'll look it up soon and try to learn. I'm interested in everything.
Hibernatin' tato🌲 Author Icon - I still like the GIF and for the same reason --- allowing for the parallax correction. *Wink*

What happens when something just won't die?
Just in time for spooky season. Here's a Raven doing Raven things.

Some find it difficult to tell the difference between ravens and crows. What you have to do is count the wing feathers; ravens have one more than crows do. Thus, the difference is a matter of a pinion.

Okay, okay, that's a joke, not facts. Ravens are usually larger than crows, but you don't usually get to see them side by side for comparison.
Blerg...today I feel like Kiki after she loses her powers temporarily. Nothing I want to work on is coming out.
