I might write an essay on this, whether a video essay or make it apart of Echo Perceptions, idk yet.

But doom scrolling youtube shorts today instead of sleeping i realized something which I'm going to be a smart ass about for a moment.
The educational system isn't failing kids.
Adults are quick to blame screens, attention spans, or the education system. Sometimes we should first ask whether we're communicating clearly.
I watched a short where this teacher said she had teens asking a question.

The worksheet asked what was the population at the beginning of the year.

How many of you just assumed January 1st population????

Well it's no secret I'm adhd, neurodivergent. My channel probably makes that very, very obvious.

The teens asked the teacher when the beginning of the year was.

🫩 DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS.

I hates word problems in school, and with adhd being undiagnosed until I was 29, I still graduated HS with an advanced regents diploma top 50 out of almost 400 students I think 3.5ish gpa average 🤷‍♀️

So the teens asked a poorly worded clarifying question. I didn't know how to ask a question until like 3 years ago because I was too scared. How do I ou think that's messed me up. When you're afraid to ask questions, you learn to make assumptions instead.

What the teens should have asked [and was a missed teaching opportunity] Do the year mean Calander year or school year?

Because as adults we don't just think in Calander years. We think in fiscal years, budgets, Filings, contracts, leases, mortgages...etc.

Also, idk about the rest of the world but assumptions are dangerous, I would rather my kids look silly by double checking the year, then just assuming the question is insinuating January 1st as the year.

That's just me. 👀

I'm debating about putting the theories of One Piece up on youtube as I work on the rewritten. There would no images, no overlays, just a basic thumbnail. Interested?

Positive note: i found minimally 20 of my misplaced One Piece things that never made it to upload. So guess what that meeeeans 😁🫣
They are ALLLLLLL going to remastered, I will get them all properly written out and up on my Patreon 1st.
I'm currently compiling them and smartly organizing them into their own little folder. So guess who's going to be writing even more than I already am.

That's right this EchoBard. Please support my patreon too. I'm like one hair's width away from the camels back breaking and having to get a 2nd job. So please consider if anything supporting my writing work.🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Got a non-fiction writing series, I'll be working on. Almost like journaling, almost like self help, almost the Echoverse saying I can't hide away in Fantasy until I die.
I'm calling my non-fiction work Echo Perceptions. Just short writing works as I work on the fiction/fantasy.
I need some balance you know.
I'm going to work the first book, the drafts free. You get all the spelling errors and circular thoughts, as I figure out how I want to write the non-fiction series.
The super rough draft outline will be free on Patreon, revisions not free.
And when I say short, I mean, no word minimum like my fantasy writing.
As I announce this Chapter 1 is about 600 words and I'm already asking myself did I meet the purpose of Chapter 1 in this small amount of words
Unlike in Bound In Time were the 43 chapter and Prologue average about 2.5k words for a book of pver 120k words.

See the difference?

Alright echoians, things might be bumpy for the coming but not because of anything big. With school starting in a couple weeks i need to condition my body to be up to pick 2 of my kids up from school, they used to walk before the move because we lived behind the school. Now its a 15 min drive. So energy levels will be around sleep deprivation levels.
But also work has now started putting me on the schedule for the shuttles I do on my days. So I'm literally scheduled 7 days a weeks after the 30 minute break that's taken regardless if I clock out for my shift.
Don't ask, I don't understand the logic here. I'm just used to never clocking out. All of this is by choice, as I do shuttles as a secondary part of my job.
Also I haven't had overtime in probably 15 years if I ever got any at all. 😅 over time pay is the equivalent of when I used to work as a corporate accountant, but i actually like what I'm doing.

Any Zephyrith fans? My 5th dimensional character. If anyone's interested, he just made his first appearance in mature echoes, part 7. He's definitely breaking dimensional barriers without breaking the story and he's too happy for a loophole.
And I really have to give him this win 🤣. Never thought I'd be write Zephyrith dialogue like this and adding to his lore.

Hey my Echoes, I finally got some stuff cooking again on Patreon, The Echoverse has begun it's appearance, and I'm starting a collection of Mature Writing Content. Finally did it. The Mature writing isn't going to have all the sensory writing I put into my normal writing, as idk if I will formally publish these [Also, Mature Writing is also your Trigger Warning. The first story going on there is about a mother, I don't pull punches, and it's something I've been doing in my free time for 6 months without posting].
But here's the links:

Okay, so the echoes have spoken thay I share this, as my husband sort of convinced me to do this. But this is an odd representation of everything that flows through my mind in any given moment. Honestly, this puts the best order to my chaos. And as I'm super sensitive to echoes, I keep most to myself. This is one I felt I should share while working with an artist 😉 I commissioned for something special for the channel.

Apologies on any book abuse noted. 4 neurodivergent children tend to cause book PTSD, and this "pile" is the result of asking 1 child to help make my room less hazardous as my body began to force sleep on me. I've put in about 35 hours into my move. I will stream me organizing this pile once the cleaning at the other house it complete. So hopefully next week.

It's moving day everyone. I'm going to stream what I can of the move. Either here or twitch, depending on internet. So hope you all join in
