Hi friends, it's been a while, but if anyone is still following out there, I'd like to let you know that I published Bukowski's Broken Family Band in physical book form! I'm not sure if I'll put all or part of it back up on WP at some point but just wanted to say thanks to all the dear friends and readers who read it back when it was updating. I honestly would not have finished it otherwise. So much appreciated.

          	If you want a PDF for free I am happy to send you one as thanks for your support in the creative process. The best place to find me is @awglen on Insta or Bsky to give me your email for that or just come hang out on the internet :)
          	
          	Best wishes!

Hello, I've been on a Wattpad break. I don't think anyone is reading my story at the moment, but if you are and you just became sad that I unpublished it, please send me a message.

awglen

@GingeOnDaFringe Great, I'll message you on there!

Happy Friday-New-Chapter-Day!! Just kidding, I'm clearly a mess and it's obviously not even Friday. But it's almost Halloween and I DID make a new chapter (what?!) and I'm celebrating. Hello :)

          In other news, my band just put out a music video, and it is alien-themed, and I am very proud of it.

@CitizenSamurai Thanks for this :) Did I tell I also played a masquerade ball/ vinyl release party with a country-noir band the day I put out this chapter? And then I stopped writing because I had to release my outer space concept album and it was a lot of work, but now I'm ready to write again. In summation: clearly I am a complete psycho.

@awglen I love it.
            Everyone who reads "Bukowski" begins with the tale of The Pumpkin Thieves.
            And now you're back with a new chapter, *and* you're dropping "X-Files" freaky cattle-abduction videos.
            Halloween is in motherf--kin' order at last.

It's Friday, and you know what that means!!
          
          Just kidding, I obviously had a meltdown and disappeared for a year and a half. But before I got all boring and busy and etc., I did write my first ever sex scene, which I have finally edited, so I don't know, I'm gonna put it here in honour of Friday-post-a-chapter-days past.

A new chapter, in which I give in to WP romance convention and begin to shamelessly objectify my male MC. Have to shake things up now and then, right?

          Looks like I'm settling into an update-every-two-weeks pattern. I'm a shadow of my pre-covid glory, but it could be worse. I think the vaccine helped and/or placeboed my long-haul symptoms! 5 stars, highly recommend!!
          
          Best,

I'm stalled! Oops sorry! I think like three or four people are reading the new book and one of them is my mom, which is, like, A LOT of people to let down every week, especially when one is your mom, so that doesn't feel great.
          
          But I dunno. If the words don't come then the words don't come you know? Need some time or something.

@CitizenSamurai thanks for the encouragement, you always know just what I need to hear :) I have read the Artist's Way! I'm getting back into the morning pages this week, and it's feeling good. You're totally right about 'filling the well', I usually do things like that too--hit up the library or used bookstores for a day or sit in a cafe... Haven't done any of that stuff since the pandemic hit, and I've failed to find at-home substitutes for them. 
            Looks like it'll be over soon though, the vaccines are finally rolling out :) 
            Hope your writing is going well!

@CitizenSamurai I missed this response, but this is exactly what I want to be doing. Maybe the speed is the missing component...

@awglen You remind me of the stories of Kerouac, buzzing on speed, typing onto telegraph paper rolls, sweating through shirts and hanging them up to dry while writing for 48 hours or more at a time.

@CitizenSamurai I have insomnia right now! And not the productive kind! I'm loopy. But it's good for the imaginings.
