So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Because books.

Aw, no one posted a topic yesterday.

Let's try: "Words to live by."

Go!

Not a drabble, but I need to flail and wibble at people for a moment.

My agent sent me her comments on my book proposal. Apparently it's in pretty good shape; there's not much I need to do to it except add a couple of things. And, er, double the length of my sample chapter. Which, cool, except for the fact that my brain is saying Write more? Sorry, no words! Having no words. La la la la oooh, is that a bat?

Someone please reassure me that my brain will come back tomorrow?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It is a bat of inspiration, Jilli, and its wings shed both glitter and words.

You're good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What ita said. Your words will come back. Promise. And yay! on the not-needing much!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Aw, Jilli. I hear you. I have to put together 5 or 6 essays for my proposal, and they're in my head, but my hands are so not cooperating. ita, are you working on that b.org request from Kat to draw thoughts directly from brain into posting box? I could use that.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

It's contagious. I have no words! I have two essays need some fixin' and I need to write some new ones and...words? None!

Who the fuck stole all the words? I will have their dictionaries mounted on spikes in front of my Fortress of Writer's Block!

Your words may be stuck in the front of my brain, playing bizarre and intricate games with my words, which seem to be endlessly playing the opening of the next part of Career Change but refusing to leave my grey matter and travel down my arms to my fingers to readability.

Your words are foul corrupters, sir, and they've diverted my perfectly cooperative words into pathways of indolence and nonproductivity. You, sir, have hooligan words.

Thrive to spite them

MM, your words showed up in my brain. Except morphed into a story about Henry and they are killing me! All these interesting words jumbling in my head and I don't have a decent place to write them down yet.
