On Monday and Tuesdays I do an hour of free write in the morning and the rest of the week I expand upon worthwhile ideas from those sessions and try to flesh it out. Hbu?

Nice. I should do something more disciplined like that. Lately it's just been whatever whenever. But am looking for ways to up my volume.

Such a freeze frame of a moment to see in my mind: tepid carrot water, pig guts, maw, gladiators. And that side glance of, ugh…we could be somewhere more important right now. Love it!

Love this! I too LOVED my Saturday cartoons and wouldn't budge till I had watched them all, which was like, almost midday. My mom would be really annoyed that I didn't go out to play till noon.
