### **Morning Pages** According to my sleep watch, I slept for 20 hours AND I still slept poorly. Goddammit. The only mildly productive thing I did yesterday was get rid of some of my tabs. Actually 4-5 weeks left before Romeo Forbes announcement. Oh and lol, when I searched myself on Google, I got that picture carousel thing now. At least I’m becoming more prominent on the internet LOL. November 30 or so—Palanca. Being this impatient is going to make me explode. Still stuck in the Clarkesworld queue. What have I got to look forward to at the end of October though? Let’s see, finishing CW 198 and CW 200 requirements. Possibly, getting some update from Jeffrey. Getting to eat Josefina’s bicol express etc. Literally nothing I try is entertaining me. I am looking at 2028-2029 publishing start because I notice all of these authors getting a 1-2 year lag between their agent acceptance and publishing their book, because publishing is a slow market. I’m looking forward to becoming accepted in Clarion West Novel Writing Workshop, but I have to write a 1st chapter, but before that I have to really figure out how to write an outline. Before that, I hope I get accepted in Writespace Houston’s workshop, oh and I forgot, I have a Clarion West class this 28th.
