Perhaps the funniest thing that @hooliocesar.bsky.social and I discovered in Iceland. While we were wandering through their flea market, we found a vendor of international license plates. Right on top, we found one from our home state of Maryland.

My first thought on waking in the States the morning after I returned form Iceland was "It's cold."

Was it warmer in Iceland than Maryland? Anyway, more photos.

At the Reykjavík Public Library as soon as you enter you will find shopping carts. I love this so much!!!

@hooliocesar.bsky.social is perhaps the greatest vacation navigator at all time. We covered more than 20,000 steps and didn’t get lost once.

#iceland is amazing. Weather’s been great, too. Today @hooliocesar.bsky.social and I toured the capital. Since it was Sunday I had to do my best #MissionImposdible routine to enter.

First discovery drawing of the trip. As a doodler and a writer I guess I’m pantsed

Pity the child who has ambition
Knows what he wants to do
Knows that he'll never fit the system
Others expect him to
Pity the child who knew his parents
Saw their faults
Saw their love die before his eyes
Pity the child that wise
He never asked "Did I cause your distress?"
Just in case they said-Yes

The rally is giving me hope. The reviews by Hugo winning literary critics like @princejvstin.com fuel my belief.

1 hour 45 minutes left for the crowd funder. $823 to go.

Red. Red. Red. Red. Red. Red. Orange. Pick up the blue. Pick up the blue.

Stop it. This is no time to sing Sunday in the Park with George. There are only five hours left to the crowdfunder.

There are authors standing with you! Keep it together, Drew!

Someone dab my forehead. Hand me a scissor. Read me multi-Hugo winning lit critic @princejvstin.com's review.

5 hours left to fund the novella.

Breathe. Keep your hands steady.

5 hours to go. Sweat on the forehead. Is it the red wire or the blue? Read the manual. No wait. Read the novella, the reviews, the author responses.

Things are in order. Just keep working. We got this. We can do it. Help if you can. the clock is ticking.

Friends privately checking in on me maybe means I've done something right in life.

I'm doing okay. Stressed. Excited. Hopeful.

10 hours left on the fundraiser. Just under a thousand to go.

Moving from Les Mis to Man of La Mancha, my favorite line of Impossible Dream has lways been always...

To be able to march into hell for a heavenly cause.

All art is an impossible dream that takes creators, editors, readers to fulfill the quest.

12 hours left

Hornytown Chutzpah started w/2 conceits:

1) What if a demon was framed for murder but it was impossible for demons to kill.

2) If the Devil vacationed in Washington D.C. & discovered humans were better at torturning humans than his own minions who'd be the worst of the lot?

Humbleness aside. The reviews've been pretty great. I'm so appreciative of the warm response from amazing Hugo-winning critics like @princejvstin.com who've not just wrote a review and left, but cheered on this noir throughout even when his name wasn't mentioned.

Hornytown Chutzpah is much closer to musical comedy than melodrama. That said,

"One day more (for the fundraiser)"
Let's show them what "Little People Can Do!"
Don't let me be "On My Own!"

It ends at 11pm EST. Please spread the word and help if your heart urges

And little people know when little people fight
We may look easy pickings but we got some bite!
So never kick a dog because it's just a pup
You'd better run for cover when the pup grows up!
And we'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up

One day more (to reach our crowdfunder goals)

"They laugh at me, these fellows, just because I am small
They laugh at me because I'm not a hundred feet tall
I tell 'em there's a lot to learn down here on the ground
The world is big but lil' people turn it around"

As Jean Valjean and the rest of the cast sang—

One Day More!

Help out the crowdfunder to show “what little people can do!”

The walls of indifference stand thick but a peel of laugher can break through easier than a thousand hurled insults.

Not from the book, but something I believe.

34 hours left in the crowdfunder. Laugh with me. Punch up.

My mentors, peers, and friends always warn me not to read the reviews (or is that comments,) but how can you not when they're so good!

Here are two from @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social and @skiffyandfanty.com
