Spending wayyyyy too much time reading depressing Twitter feeds on #Brexit - and I'm neither ON Twitter, nor am I British!

Usurping helps though.

Any distractions are welcome because of this: tell me about funny cat stories, what you're writing, the latest pitfall in your research, how the coffee is cold.

In between bouts of said writing of course!

Refreshments are still available - and bonus points to those who have completed 200 words or more this morning!

Brexit kept me awake for nearly 40 hours. Now, after 5 hours of sleep, I'm no closer to understanding. BUT this isn't the right forum for this! So!

Umm … I have no words and no mind to put any down right now (also: football (the *real* one ;-) ) today), but I have plenty of coffee and a head full of stories! I'm sure that counts for something, right? =D

It's one of the reasons that Rush is the only social media I'm doing this weekend. We must be kind and gentle to ourselves, and we can't change the world if we're all huddled around the glow of the 24-hour news cycle feeling defeated by wave after wave of horrible news. So be kind and gentle and let yourself walk away from it for a bit, if you can. Revel in a community full of rainbows and light and creativity. We're writers. If this world isn't good enough, we'll write until we change everyone's mind and make it excellent.

Funny cat news: We have the softest, sweetest, fluffiest, dumbest cat. But she's very single minded. And I'm very single minded. So sometimes in the morning, I get up, and she's in the hallway outside my partner's room wanting attention. And I want to give that cat scritches. But her end-game is to get me to follow her into my partner's room to wake up her preferred human, which I want to avoid. So we play this game where I inch closer saying "Shhh" and she sharks around occasionally meowing crossly and trying to get me to follow her into the bedroom. Very "Timmy's fallen down the well." Usually I give up and walk away and get some more cross meowing. Occasionally she'll let me get close enough to scoop her up and snuggle her without waking everyone else in the house up.

469 words since morning, but I need +1K! D: Well, there's still time, and I know where this story is headed, so it's only the matter of making it happen.

I think I'm going to try 10 minute timer sessions, I usually write quicker when there's a clock ticking down :D Pressure, pressure!

OK. Now I have COFFEE! I also have a long hair appointment in an hour, and then a lot of stuff to do. So let's see if I can bang out 200 words in the next half hour!

Currently reading, though.

It's been happening at least once on most rounds -- alas, a sign of how thinly populated LJ is these days. But also a sign of our awesomeness!!
