I sooooo feel this every book I write. Usually about chapter five it starts growling, then by chapter 10 the plot is ripping up the couch cushions and chasing stray animals around the office...
"There are three types of writers: 1. Those who plot their books 2. Those who discover their plot along the way 3. Those who know what will happen but their book is a bit feral still, needs a bath, has bitten and will bite again" Tweet from C G Drews, 21 July, 2019

I rarely if ever remember my dreams.
Last night (this morning?) I had a dream. Crazy Granny called me on her cell. Seemed she and one of the grandkids were on a hot-air balloon ride. But the balloon took off without the pilot. #crazygranny

One of my hobbies is #modelrailroading and one discussion was about grognards grumping. But then someone made a comment about mullets never being cool. Angus MacGyver begs to differ? What say you?

You heard about the teacher in Idaho standing up over being told to remove her classroom signs about inclusion? "Everyone is Welcome here!" Well, I believe that inclusion should be celebrated. My books have been, and will always be inclusive. Except for N@z!s. 💙📚
A witch in a blue dress is holding a sign inside of a magical coffee shop. The sign reads: "Everyone is welcome here" Behind her, a Sasquatch and a green troll enjoy their coffee, pixies fly through the shop, and another patron, perhaps a gnome, sits at a table.
