If Edgar Allen Poe had not died, he would be 216 years old today.

If, says the raven. 🙀

Two parties want to keep ICE and reform it at best.

One party wants to abolish ICE.

The Democratic Socialists of America have my attention.

Hope in the darkness?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But worth a look.

To me.

Every time a great deal of snow falls, Feral Boy shows up for a meal.

The last few times he showed up, he ate in the mud room.

A mud room, to the uninitiated, is a small area to take off your snow covered boots before entering a house

He’s a chunky monkey

Missed my goal, but I did finish my 3rd draft of a story:

80 K version
90 K version
51 K version

Let it sit until March and then the real editing begins. 🎉

“A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty,”

James Madison

The founding fathers, understood that the Roman Republic fell not to barbarians at the gate, but a permanent standing army at Julius Caesar’s fingertips.

Time to write?

Nope.

It’s time for head scratches and cuddles.

2025 is over and 2026 will be all about finding beta readers, final edits, and publishing.

In 2025 I wrote ten shortish stories.

I, also, rewrote a novel twice and then decided to cut it down to a longish novella which meant even more rewriting.

LOTS of wasted words

But progress

I have four days to complete my main focus of the year.

Third rewrite and plenty of wasted words, but I will make it.

04 days 🙏

Horrible.

Or Great.

Turning a finished 2nd draft of a novel into a novella.

I’m paralyzed by fear and freed by excitement.

Went beachside for a slightly better 3-mile run this morning. Managed to catch a wonderful sunrise.

Now to refuel for some writing!!!

Part of the reason we have such high healthcare costs in America is cars.

We are fat, lazy, and sickly.

Part of the reason we are in debt is that the average cost to own a car is 12,000 a year.

I love my car, but …

It’s killing me.

Every year, I give out Starbucks hot chocolate tins for Christmas, but this year - I can’t.

Workers voted for a union four years ago and Starbucks has been stonewalling their own employees ever since.

How can I betray them?

Unexpected feedback:

In short, your novel is hopepunk because its core message is: “The world is haunted by pain and lies, but we can choose to face it together with kindness, honesty, and art. That choice is our power.”

Witches and shamans and ghosts, oh my.

How art works:

Painter:

I’m working on a piece - want to see it?

Musician:

I’m working on a song - want to hear it?

Writer:

I’m working on a novel - want to hear me drone on about plot points and motivations that will never make it into the book?
