I did a lot of tracing for this one, but still found it oddly satisfying to do.

So for gender balance, I should do some angsty female leads who hurt each other --

-- oh wait I kinda did that in The Moon Etherium.

Well, I could do angsty enby leads who hurt --

-- oh yeah, did that in The Sun Etherium.

Apparently it's more "leads who inadvertently hurt each other, usually male but w/e."

I am once again writing an entire novel's worth of backstory about the two male leads in this book.

"Angsty male leads who inadvertently hurt each other" is one of the major themes of my work. 👀

I want to do some writing today. Not because I feel like writing, or because there's anything I want to have written, mind you. But because it's the last full day of "Love Week" in #4thewords , and I want to finish most if not all of the festival quests before it ends.

I've done very little writing for this festival so far, and almost all of it was blog posts because meh, fiction. I don't have any ideas for blog posts or even blathering at myself today, so I'll try for Alien Peacelord notes.

It's SO WARM out today! We even have a few Celsius degrees!

This is nice even though I seldom go outside, because only two rooms in my house are well-insulated (the den and the bathroom, which both have interior walls on three sides.)

And this means that for the first time in weeks, it's not cold at Pretend Coffee Shop!

So I've turned the thermostat up a little (so it can achieve "actually warm") and acquired a drink from Pretend Barista.

Saw this on Twitter and thought of @vicorva 😂

I need to learn either how to be happy not writing, or figure out how to get back to writing, and I haven't decided which of those I should work on.

It feels like the answer should be "both is good?" but I can't really work on being happy about not writing at the same time that I'm trying to write. You might as well say "I don't *need* caffeine, I'm only drinking 6 cups of coffee a day because I like coffee. And don't like decaf." There's no way to know when you're not trying.

Today's #BobRossPaintAlong is season 30, episode 2.

The backdrop canvas in Bob's actual painting for this episode (season 30 ep 2) is WILD.

I could not figure out how to mimic it in ArtRage and went for "mottled and vaguely organic" instead.

Today's #BobRossPaintalong is from season 30, episode 11.

Bob closed the little gap between the trees in the foreground and the mountains in the background, but I rather liked the misty base of the mountains and the sense of water bending around an outcrop of land.

I decided to try Bob-Ross-style, but not following along with a video. I picked an image from Pixabay to use for inspiration and then tried to figure out how to illustrate using what I'd picked up from watching Bob Ross.

My latest #BobRossPaintAlong. Working on mountains some more.

The power company in my area is doing rolling blackouts, and asked customers to turn off unnecessary devices. So I turned off the air purifiers. I'm working from home using a thin client laptop that makes no noise.

When the blower on the furnace isn't running, it is eerily quiet in here. o_o

I did a thing. #BobRossPaintAlong

My cat still doesn't want pets but she has come to sit against my legs, so that's pretty good.

I am trying to want to do a thing

Any thing

But it is not working
