Actually got some writing done tonight. A little over a thousand words. I'm still working on the earlier parts of my WIP, the parts I didn't outline but feel I need to write to get the story down. Not sure if any of this is going to make it into the story, but considering it's over 10K words now ... it better.

I'm surprised I was able to write considering the general mood I've been in as of late. With the shape of the world right now, I know a lot of people are hurting, myself included. I've been paralyzed by the shocking murder commited by ICE in Minneapolis over the weekend. Heard the news that the cosplaying nazi has been relieved of his duty tonight, so that's a plus. Not enough, but it's a start.

I think they know how badly they fucked up. They'll probably never admit to it, but those involved will eventually go away back into the private sector, no doubt with a full pardon by the orange Shitler.

I feel a glimmer of hope.

I also fear that these fuckers are so desperate that they'll do unspeakable atrocities to further their need for distraction in their power grab.

But, can I just hold on to this glimmer of hope for a while? Just a little while, to warm my trembling fingers by the fire. Just a few moments to celebrate at least one fucking win?

Okay?

Okay.

Find your joy.
