Rewatching The Shining and it still holds up as a great horror movie and superb film. Jack Nicholson’s scene at the bar is one of my favorites. #horrormovies

Used to do NaNoWriMo, and liked the idea of a writing community and accountability, so I’ll be writing this November and posting my progress for all to see.

TW pet loss.
We lost our beloved Rossevelt Franklin the Saturday we got on the ship. Our pet sitter found him.
It still doesn't feel real. I keep looking for him at the edge of the sofa where he used to sit. Or in the middle of the floor, in the dark. As a black cat he blends.
