The satisfaction of being able to use the back cover to mark my place instead of the front once I’m halfway through a book will never get old

Imagine not following the nornalmfer account as a mfer

What is keeping apes from creating AAA tier content in the same way as Nouns, Azuki, and Pudgies have over the last two years

I know people were waiting on 3D models but historically it’s been the projects without them that create narrative and story

Thoughts?

Still thinking we will see more anthologies coming later this year

Thursdays are for Omakase 🍣 

One of the best weekly decisions I’ve ever made

We do a little writing while the Tornado Watch 🌪️ and Severe Thunderstorm ⛈️ warnings try and distract me

It’s a healthy assumption that most that were building/participating through ‘23 are long term focused

What are some things you do to snap yourself out of short term thinking?

Will tip degen for those willing to quote cast their thoughts

For me it is remembering how much my life has changed the past 2 years
 
Regardless of where I find myself today, its hard not to believe that there is still so much more to come

I've also found the few core relationships i've built here have helped me have a sounding board if I get stuck in a short term loop

gm! better late than never (sorry @benroy 🫶) 

Today’s prompt… 

Topic: “Gratitude.” In the stress of our day to day lives, it can be easy to focus on the negative. This prompt invites you to pause, & reflect on someone/something you are grateful for (tag them!) 

Format: answer as a quote or comment 🩷

For most of my life I defined myself by the work I did, and not the life I lived 

I have a lot of gratitude for the personal success and new relationships I have found this year

And have a feeling that this shift will undoubtedly benefit me professionally too 🥂

Everytime I go on a reading binge the urge to write a book comes back 

There’s a little voice in my head that says “You can do that”

One day I will

Last night my friend sent me a text that she and her 4 year old son have been watching Meetquack reels before bed everynight

"He just said to me, I want to watch the ducks!"

Everyone needs some quack in their life

It’s officially work outside as much as I can season

The last couple weeks I’ve finally been back to writing a bit 

New article from last week, and starting prep for the next

gm with today's /words prompt!

Topic: "Burnout". We operate in a culture of high stress, overwork and minimal sleep. Share a time when you prioritised your wellbeing, even though it felt counterintuitive.

Format: answer in quote cast (in /words channel)
Deadline: end of day EST
Real participants will be tipped $degen

I've learned that my burnout often comes from the feeling of creative emptiness, when my brain no longer is willing to spark new ideas and conclusions

Finishing a new book has consistently helped me refocus, generate new thought patterns, and ultimately overcome my feeling stuck, even when it feels counter productive
