Yesterday I wrote one page. Today I wrote two. I'll shoot for three tomorrow and so on till I have a draft.

Worth noting: it's about 15 lbs. in the carrying case, so it has about 5 pounds on my cat.

Welp, I got one. It's a 2015 portable retro model that belonged to the antique shop owner's dad. It was already a quarter of its retail price, and the dude gave me a discount because my sister and I have always stopped there whenever we hang out downtown.

Considering getting a typewriter for writing because staring at a word processor on a screen is exhausting for the eyes, plus no Internet.

I'm resuming the Egyptian #Arabic course I borrowed from the library three years ago and I've found myself getting distracted by recognizing a cognate with Hebrew here and a word from a song title there. There's got to be some way to derive mnemonic value from that sort of thing.

Despite having half of Indy, all of Ohio, and most of New York between us and Sleepy Hollow, they have a Headless Horseman festival every October and now I'll get to set up for events, drive the tractor on the haunted hayride, and play a spooky character in a corn maze. My childhood dreams are coming true.

Just got an event staff job at a historical farm/outdoor history museum I used to go to all the time as a kid

I wrote a chapter of a novel based on a dream and I guess I wanna be a writer now.

Gary's yelling at me to go upstairs and give him scritches before bed. Old man's got a routine!
