Spring has sprung, the grass has riz,
I wonder where the boidies is.
The boids is is on the wing!
Ain’t that absurd?
I always thought the wing was on the boid.

GOOD MORNING!

George Vernon Hudson’s legacy has once again blighted our fine world (I hate DST) but it’s going to be like FIFTEEN today and I am so excited to go outside in just a hoodie and feel the air not hurt my face. Also I turns out I do NOT have to go to court today so I feel extra free. Hooray!

Gonna challenge all that FREEDOM and SLEEPY DISORIENTATION into doing a CHALLENGE MONDAY because I am too confused to know what I am doing

TEN QUERIES THIS WEEK

TEN

GET THAT STUPID NOVEL OUT INTO THE WORLD

I did #PitMad last week and got lots of retweets but no likes except from one very confused romance editor (Space Crazies is not a romance. Yes I sent them a query anyway). BUT as disappointing as that was, it was still THREE QUERIES for the queryometer and that brings me up to 38! And with 50 in sight, I’m more inspired to just find places and take chances. SO LET’S DO THIS. TEN QUERIES. Maybe even TWELVE. BUT DEFINITELY TEN.

It’s like spring cleaning! But for the soul! Let’s open the windows of our to-do lists and let the fresh air in and fuel us forward!

LET’S DO THE THING! LET’S DO IT BEFORE OUR COFFEE WEARS OFF AND WE REALIZE WHAT A TERRIBLE IDEA THIS IS ON DST MONDAY*

What’s one thing on your to-do list that getting it over and done with would give that feeling of BLISSFUL RELIEF akin to feeling fresh air on your previously sleeve-bound arms

DO THAT

FEEL THE BREEZE

DRINK MORE COFFEE

but don’t take your to-go cup to Starbucks they’re not letting you use one right now

LET’S GO REJECTARINOS!! WE CAN DO IT!!**

*if you do not observe DST where you live please do not gloat i already envy you enough

**if you want to just say “ugh i am not up for this level of enthusiasm on DST Monday, Victoria, tone it down pls” that is very valid too and I promise this is the end of the post you can go back to bed now
