How do you style your pizza? With a comb over?
I made a side tumblr to reblog all the things that might one day come in handy while writing. General advice and fantasy/sci-fi stuff mostly. It's chaseawritingpost
Speaking of tumblr, I really enjoyed this post about hanahaki disease and how a few tweaks can change the trope so much.
Offline with Jon Favreau has become another favorite podcast. He's just kind of a joyful voice even when the news is bad. I mean as a kid his favorite dinosaur was the brontosaurus because he didn't like carnivore conflict. He's had some really interesting conversations with comedians, journalists, and scientists.
I really enjoyed this episode with Dr Anna Lembke - Dr. Anna Lembke, Stanford Psychiatrist and author of “Dopamine Nation,” joins Jon to talk how smartphones, social media, and the internet have fundamentally changed the way our brains process pleasure. Making the case that phones are similarly addictive to alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, she teaches Jon how we can reset our brains to have a healthier relationship with our phones and the world around us.

Writing wise, I think the big word count goal forgetyourwordsout is having the opposite than desired effect on my writing/finishing habits. I'm behind, but not so much that I couldn't catch up, but I'm feeling so resistant to writing because I'm such an instant editor and I haven't yet found a way to count all the words I write without subtracting the words I delete. I write a lot of things I then need to delete for clarity or an active voice and it feels like wasted time? Even though I know it's not. I'd happily take any thoughts/ideas/comments about this issue of mine.
