looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

The Annunciation in Over the Rhine, Cincinnati.

The mural is painted on the Pleasant Street Franciscan Friary and is inspired by a painting in the chapel of Our Lady of the Angels in Assisi.

St. Andrew’s University in Scotland has a centuries-old legend about a student who's struggling to write an essay when the actual devil appears and hands him the essay fully written, if you were wondering how people in the past would have felt about cheating with AI.

This week I'm writing a music lesson about Hildegard von Bingen, and doing prepwork for my first middle grade novel. I keep going back and forth b/n wanting to dive in and just start drafting, and knowing the prepwork is worth doing, even if it's kinda boring

How are your projects?

Hey! If you love museums as much as I do, consider contacting your representative and urging them to help save the IMLS. Many, many museums and libraries rely on IMLS grants for exhibitions, preservation of collections, special programs, and more. www.aam-us.org/2025/03/17/u...

I'm reading Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for the first time, and the only thing that kept me from throwing the book across the room at the end of part 2 was the fact that it's a library book

I'm writing music appreciation lessons this week for our library homeschool group. This month we're listening to Mars from Gustav Holst's The Planets. Next month we'll listen to the rondeau from a Violin Concerto by Saint-Georges. I love sharing music with kids

How are your projects going?

Last week was supposed to be "get back to routine" but I was sick. So this week is "get back to routine." I wrote a few words today AND I figured out how to make the text in Scrivener bigger. No more squinting in split-screen!

2024 Writing Wrap-up

I ended 2024 with 198216 words. As usual, some months had a lower word count than others; but in 2024, that was more due to being busy than to mental health issues, so seeing improvement there.

Best wishes and happy 2025!
