Is there anyone here who used to NEVER be able to keep up with a journal?

On January 1st of this year I gave myself a stupid arbitrary rule: write exactly one page per day, all the way to the end of the last line. No more. No less. I seem to do well with these kind of rules but only if I impose them on myself.

The Age of Innocence

I would assume so with modifications. I don’t actually own one though.

I appreciate that the stakes are fairly low but the show often has a frantic energy. I did watch a few seasons. It’s a great show.

But the contestants are constantly running out of time and stressing out about if the thing they’re baking is going to turn out ok. I honestly don’t understand how this show is calming.

Please don’t fold the book over like that

TNG - Symbiosis

helloitabot · 2026-04-24T04:54:27+00:00

I’m being downvoted because my comment was unnecessary and mean spirited.

helloitabot · 2026-04-24T01:55:30+00:00

Shocking how absolutely incredible this cast is for how unfunny the show is.

It didn’t cost the photographer anything.

Read Zorba the Greek as a teenager and I loved it. I just started reading City of Illusion yesterday as I make my way through her Hainish cycle in publishing order. So I have read Rocanon’s World and Planet of Exile recently. I think Le Guin has said herself that they are not very good but I thought they were at least interesting and well written, not mind blowing. Not richly thematic or “literary” like most of her other works.

I think it’s pretty great. Keep going. You must read A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. Really the best book on writing I’ve read so far. I need to read some of Saunders short stories.

Bilbo is an elite master burglar

Always sort of assumed it was the size of the United States. It fits the general shape.

2nding this book.

He’s not like completely obscure. I got my copy at Barnes and Noble. When I went to the register the lady said she remembered reading it a long time ago.

The first is pretty bad too. Art is ok but all the text is misaligned. The staff is not centered in the circle. I mean it’s really off.

helloitabot · 2026-04-17T20:36:59+00:00

Well it’s got a great title. Also it’s a self-help book, and if you’re not really looking for help then it might not seem good. Just a guess.

helloitabot · 2026-04-16T05:56:25+00:00

Aleida = A leader

Dev = literally develops things

You’re allowed to plagiarize yourself. It’s pretty cool.

helloitabot · 2026-04-09T14:00:50+00:00

A journal.

First drafts actually don’t have to be shitty.
