Some motivational musings for a Monday evening.

Just a few things I'm nerding out about nowadays. What's on your list?

@EvaldSand I love this point! Feels counterintuitive, but it's been a game-changer discovery for me.

Learning that perfectionism is just a habit—and you can override it by hitting "publish." You discover what it actually feels like to finish something and move forward instead of polishing forever.

Day 2 of Ship 30: Deadlines change everything. Here is what I learned, after I've been posting serial fiction online for a month.

@WinnickJon14185 Haha! I am working on my potty mouth. Better here than in front of the kids, I guess! And yes, for "today years old" discoveries. I have way too many of them.

@KDeshieldsMoon Ow, my virgin ears are bleeding! Kidding, but seriously, a little writing rabble-rousing can get the creative juices flowin’! I can dig it! Also, I was today years old when I learned the term was “rabble” not “rebel”-rousing!

Yeah, I said it. 💯

@WinnickJon14185 Let's gooooooo! 🙌🏾

@KDeshieldsMoon Thanks Kat(astrophic)! So am I! Ha! I’m/were embarking on our own hero’s journey of sorts! And, your X handle is rad sauce!

A trilogy of reasons why I'm starting to write online.

Find the thing that makes you happy. Surge of energy childlike giddy happy. Not the poised “adulting” happy. Never stop doing the thing that brings you joy. No matter how small. For me it’s visiting indie bookstores. Spending a chunk of time discovering new writers and perspectives. Taking that haul home. Finding places on the shelves among kindred book souls for these new additions. Reading each one. This is a slice of bliss for me. What does it look like for you?

@Levoski Where's the lie? I don't see it.

You could have legitimately paid for mid level and micro influencers to CONTINUOUSLY play the game over the course of a year or two with this amount but instead you'd rather have one guy play it for a couple hours and never touch it again. If gaming feels dead, it'll be at the expense of moronic level marketing campaigns like this.

@mrcornwell Gosh, I love windows open during a hardy summer evening thunderstorm. Even if it means my windowsills get wet. Hope all is well, Mark!

3..2..1 First thing that comes to mind? 👇 Go!

My goals are no longer about impressing anyone. They’re about becoming someone I’m proud of. 💯

So grateful for an extra day this weekend. Three-day long weddings are nooooo joke.

I watched my little brother get married today. Family gathered together under the same roof for the first time in years. New family bringing their joy and traditions. My feet are sore, but my heart is full. ❤️

Was going to crack into a new game this weekend. Buttttt I think I’ll revisit Kingdom: New Lands instead. Almost ten years old and it still slaps.

Few things in life match the pure bliss of cuddling a sweet, sleeping toddler. 💕 Until your limbs start to fall asleep. 🤣

👋🏾 Full-time marketing pro. 💕 Full-time wife and mom. 🤑 Still earned $51K from my side biz in 10 months. 🚫 No virality. No 16-hour work days. ✅ Just consistency, systems, and boundaries.
