You should never, and I sincerely repeat never write without first writing an outline of your story—ever!  My story, and my protagonists, have had a new band member foisted on them by the plot-bunnies!  You’ll see him around Chapter 38 or so.  😉

Have you ever been hit with “chapter mitosis?”  Well, I’ve been hit with it again.  Chapter 36 is ‘skinny’ again, but should be fattened up enough to post before the end of the week.  Chapter 37 is bigger, but has a ways to go before it’s ready.  Oh, well…  Just another ‘first world problem.’

The happiest of birthdays to the amazing @Melrick!     

I’m still trying to find a way to ship you some of that Key Lime pie…

Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?

Using AI to edit your smut can be so wild. ProWritingAid decided that this sentence…

Quote

Kai’e’ie is insatiable—ravenous, breath-stealing, and covetous—and its expression is primal and passionate fucking.

…needs this correction: 

Quote

Kai’e’ie is insatiable—ravenous, breath-stealing, and covetous—and its expression is primal and passionate about fucking.

I mean, sure, I’m as passionate about fucking as anyone, but that isn’t quite what I was going for there. I can only assume the algorithm assumed Kai’e’ie is a name rather than an emotion and that I was trying to make small talk instead of comparing two different emotional states—Kai’e’ie versus mi’lee’veez—related to intimacy. (Kai’e’ie’: combined from syllables from words meaning love, say, life, and bond; combined, the meaning is, literally love said, life-bound, or figuratively, without you, I die. The fictional people who created this word are apparently as dramatic as I can write them. Mi’lee’veez: the root words in their entirety and proper order mean my dream heart. Sappity-sap-sop, someone get a mop.)

This is what I get for creating a fictional language for my novel. 🙄 J.R.R., you’re a horrible influence.

Is it bad when I’ve kinda stopped keeping track of my story’s body count?

Not a single day this week has been quiet. Something is in the water or something

Cause everyday people are acting out of character more than usual, the numerous storms?

Something else? Holy Cannoli I’m not getting paid enough to babysit grown adults

Second time where I had to separate people.

*Peeks*

I got plot bunnied.

Had one vague plot bouncing around Posted it just to help clear the brain now I got like three more.

This isn’t how math is supposed to work.
