Working on my cryptid novel idea, part 4

Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" ,  "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and  "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc.  NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 (etc.) won't yield any new information.

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Single Life season 5, episode 13

Time for some kissing and talking about kissing. Uh, so Philip seems like a nice enough guy, but this living situation is bizarre Okay, be real, does Wayne work for like a UK tourism board or something? His dates are AWESOME So, Jamal, I see your point, but if someone asks how it was growing up as a single child...you did grow up as a single child... Ugh I still don't like Tony Vanja is hotter than you, Tony, you are correct Hey, Cortney, you didn't have to be transporting Colt ANYWHERE So, Villa, I get that you fell for Liz, but Liz was not exclusive with the guy back home and you two had not had a talk about intentions or plans, so I don't see her as having done anything wrong Pedro, just like give up on Sophie...she is NOT ready for a relationship Wayne seems like a good guy Uh, Tony, you could've prepped Vanja JUST A TAD earlier Gosh, Vanja, I just want you to be happy Tony's mom is very pretty So, Vanja, I'm like you in that I'm not religious.

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 8, episode 21

Time for part 2 of the tell-all! Faith, don't feed into your mom's idea of this curse I love that Stig rebuked the "curse" on Lisa I am sorry that Lisa went through that Lisa...what about your other best friend that we met at the beginning of the season? Ugh, Daniel, you can't refer to yourself as Lisa's master Ty seems like a reasonable person so far Lisa, do you block Daniel? I agree that Lisa should not move straight to Nigeria Lol the confessional must be cold I love everyone supporting Forrest and Sheena I think Forrest and Sheena could rack up some money doing Cameo I do like Molly's dress Sheena, Molly's approach to your and Forrest's sex life is NOT generally culturally expected or done or appreciated or accepted in our culture either Molly, you are antagonistic I'd be pissed if I was Sheena and I was giving money to my parents and then they were just sending it to my brother I did not realize (or, perhaps, remember) that Aviva and Stig...

Snippets, thirty-seven

Here are some short pieces based on things that have happened in my life recently.  Mail How could I have forgotten how lovely it is to write letters? These missives from loved ones across the country and even globe have been sitting in a pile (that has moved from one piece of furniture to another) for weeks on end. I think one pretty card I had received close to the new year.  We've just entered the second third of the year and I am finally responding. I hope my loved ones know that my significant delay has nothing to do with my affection for them. Instead, it has to do with my brain grasping for motivation and coming up empty. Overdue I am so behind on so many things. This week I managed to catch up on chores and one review I had due. But there is so much more I'm behind on. Finding a condo. Clearing out my dad's storage unit. Framing art. Cleaning my bath tub Making my bed. Getting a hair cut. Scrubbing my stove top. Throwing away dead plants and leaves. Writing up an in...
