Doing more lurking/replying than posting rn. I’ve blocked Twitter on my phone. It redirects me to Austin Kleon’s How to Read More post. I do enjoy book & Trek & ac/alt-ac talk tho so I will still visit on my laptop a bit & will link to my long blog posts.

Got about 500 words written today. Hoping to go faster moving forward. I slept poorly last night and woke up about every 2 hours. I had a pretty good day for such an underslept person.
