@MailerLite How do I add an image to an email? Searching online, it says to drag an image block from the left-hand sidebar, but I don't see a left-hand sidebar - the left-hand side is completely blank.

@aliciataylor125 Ok, I'll bite, since I just published this queer fantasy romance short story on Wattpad. NSFW! 😈 wattpad.com/story/39611837…

Now that I'm not trying to do everything every day, I have a lot more time to read 😀 Downside: not a lot of stuff gets done.

How does one write for 30 days in February?

Happy New Year...

The culprit is auto HDR, which can't be turned off in the phone camera. So I'm back to what I had to do with my old phone: manually adjusting brightness in Google Photos for every photo I want to use for something. Now with extra steps and worse results >.<

Was hoping to post an update about GYWO, but instead spent all evening trying to find an efficient way to get photos from iPhone to computer without them turning dark (spoiler: there isn't one). What's the point of good photos on the phone if I can't use them anywhere else? >.<

It paid off, though, bc it made the end of the month so easy, I was writing a day ahead for most of the last week. Which was really helpful for that fourth-Thursday holiday and my crazy busy Nov. 30!

Well, I didn't want to miss that reward, so I made sure to hit my goal every day, even if I had to stay up till 1 am! The middle of the month was hard, with almost 3k word goals on top of work, so I was actually going to bed around 1-2am every night for a week >.<

Didn't have time to post this yesterday, but- YATTTAAA!!! Another #NovemberWriting month won 😊 This time with 51,029 words - and I only needed to write 10 words on Nov. 30 😆 but I got carried away and wrote 1039 😂 #amwriting #writingcommunity

I wish the lyrics of this song fit my book better bc I really want to add it to my soundtrack 😆 Maybe I should just add it anyway? Yeees...? (Maybe I should change my book so it fits? 🤣) #amwriting #NovemberWriting #DarkDreams youtube.com/watch?v=l10HOo…

As promised, and I hope to post another one later 🙂 This is the start of the prologue of #DarkDreams. Be warned, it's not a happy story! (more alt text below) #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

Also, I reached the peak today with 2739 words - tmr's word count is slightly less, and it's downhill skiing from here! But I won't bore everyone with another screenshot. Instead- snip incoming!

Just realized that I'm right on par for that #NovemberWriting month we used to do - my average is 1667 words per day 😀 But this is before updating for today, so I'm actually ahead now 😲 I caught up yesterday - 2 days early! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Also, I started a new story! Dark Dreams Far Beneath (#DarkDreams), a gay Little Mermaid retelling with an angry, vengeful merman, creepy/horror elements, mh and disability rep, and hopefully some..interesting..spicy scenes 😈 #amwriting #NovemberWriting #LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈🧜‍♂️🗡️🌶️
