I took some liberties with the word “project.” Cheers.

Bestsellers won’t court every sale
And chase down each review.
(IMHO: because those jerks
Just can’t be bothered to.)
In me you have the weirdest friend
You didn’t want to know.

@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialHaving only a couple of readers at a time like I do is fun, because then you get to pester each one of them individually.
I mean, what?
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialNeat. I just spelled amended with an e for some reason, so you know I definitely never make mistakes.
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialAt the moment I have the Google Doc, 2 Word downloads (offline), and a copy saved as an e-mail attachment. (Usually an older backup … but/so 4 versions in all.) I would totally put one on a thumb drive if my Chromebook accepted those. And lock it in a filing cabinet, perhaps? 🫠 A moat? Dragons?
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialI don’t need a new copy lol. Does it automatically get emended on Book Funnel anyway…? (Is Book Funnel that cool?)
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialCareful now. I’m pretty confident that at this stage of the game you don’t want to embolden me… 😂 🫶 📚.
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialHey @pgsundling.bsky.social: I tried to DM you, but pictures weren’t allowed. (And I didn’t think you‘d mind as this is kind of a lighthearted author transparency thing anyway… and no one sees my posts anyway…)
Anyway.
If you were worried about my implied… lack of brevity, don’t bother. 😂
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialThese days I always “download” and keep at least 2 versions of a #WIP from Google Docs, usually overwriting the least recent.
So this is about the pace that we’re working with:
(It’s … something!)
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.social@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialI honestly didn‘t read your comment. Sorry 😅.
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialI think you mean None is left? That’s encouraging. I was getting a little worried about him, ngl.
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialNope.
If you don’t bleed,
And you don’t need,
And you don’t wonder why…
Sure. Use Trump’s stupid moniker
And call yourself S.I.
But don’t expect my empathy:
No matter what the wig,
Disguise, or how you dress yourself,
I couldn’t give a fig.

@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialThis is my YA WIP. It’s set in the same universe, but with much more of a focus on the kids. I‘ve buried a lot of Easter eggs though … heh … (mostly from Sticks in the Snow) and some borderline adult humor. You know, no worse than Disney. We’ll see if MY kids still like it when I’m done…
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialBy the way, I made a joke in my YA project similar to this. Mr. Doberman (it’s the same universe…) wished out loud that Fred, who was dead, would “Rest in piece.” To which Sheryl says. “I think you mean ‘peace,’ ‘ea,’ not ‘piece,’ ‘ie.’ You know what? I’ll just get you to the page in question.
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialPretending you didn’t misspell pretend when it’s right there in the text is next-level meta, dude. I would expect nothing less from you. So: no, not yet. Procrastinating on a self-encouragement routine continues. Luckily the actual procrastinating hasn’t. (I’m make progress. On your book, too.)

My #spirits, friends, are low today,
My #family, and all that:
Turned out to be what predators
Claimed as their #habitat.

In a break from tradition, this poem is (unfortunately) true. No cute emojis for you today. Stay safe out there.
@awalkingmemeplex.bsky.socialMy latest YA chapter is called, “Like, duh.” And ends “…stupid, stupid, stupid.”
Despite all this, I think it’s actually a pretty good chapter. 😏.
Keep up your own good work, peeps!
