Got back into Slay the Spire on a whim. Nice little turn based card thingy, with beautiful art, and fun synergies.

I see you also married someone from a fairie tale kingdom. Some people just seem to have a certain animal magnetism, ye

Is this a Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell reference? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jonathan_Strange_and_Mr._Norrell

This is the most judgey comma I’ve seen in a while. Very well done

They thought the party was going to last forever, so they ordered a bunch of jumbo pizzas and kegs

I mean it’s more like they paid themselves a bunch of bonuses and hired super duper growth hacking experts or whatever, and now they can’t pay for them, so god forbid they cut from the top

What are the odds of a bird landing on your keys on a day when your nails are in perfect order are unbelievable

E: formatting EE: formatting EEE: more formatting??? EEEE: omg I don’t know how to fix this anyway you get the idea

Ah yeah that makes sense. I’m an eternal hobbyist with different creative things (art, games, stories, etc), so I get the challenge of just finishing something.

PS feel free to send me what you’ve got if you want a totally impartial “beta reader” or whatever that’s called

That’s cool. And if it continues to be useful / enjoyable to you, then you don’t necessarily need to “end” it ever, unless you really want to.

Excellent advice. I’ve sat down to write about a boring day, only to be shocked at the shit that was festering just below the surface. Like negative attitudes and resentment to people in my life, that would have just kind of hung around in the back of my head totally unknown and unacknowledged, but still there and unchallenged until I took a few minutes to consciously follow my own thoughts and feelings.

Anyway 10/10 would recommend the examined life.

Don’t try, just write in it whenever you feel like it: congratulations! You have a diary! That could be several times a day, or once a month, depending what you need and want out of your diary. But realistically if you’re just starting out it will probably be diary meta, like about the writing you’re doing in the diary lol.

For me I find it useful for

• jotting media reviews.
• nurturing my stationary fetish.
• an excuse to practice my cursive.
• relaxing at the end of the day, or week.
• reading over to gain insights into my moods (like how I was always sad after drinking)
• purging “negative” feelings (anger, insecurity, etc) - just get them out of my head and on to a page.

Anyway, here’s an example of me just talking about Quake 2 and having trouble focusing at work:

At the end of the day, I just like making marks on the page.

Ditched centralized social media and started a personal diary

What’s wrong? I mean aside from everything

Damn that’s a ball ache. I didn’t get any savings when I left home, but at least I didn’t expect any. Just imagining the feeling of having that pulled away… ouch.

Did have parents spot my rent a couple of time; don’t make me out to be ungrateful.
