I've been waking up early for the past week to edit Novel #1. This has had the added bonus of getting to sit at my table with my candles and tea and watching the sunrise (and not focusing on how I have to solicit agents next. Yikes!)

A bat recently hit my friend in the head, then flew around and hit her again. At the hospital, they told her that they couldn't find a visible wound in her hair, and therefore her insurance wouldn't pay for the rabies vaccine. Did she still want the vaccine? It would cost her $30,000 out of pocket.

What I like about manicules is that they're marks of what readers find interesting. Like, oh, you think this section is important? Point to it! You think this section is stupid? Point to it!

Marginal annotations are a popular way to interact with a text; AM 76 8vo showcases manicules, a form of marginalia that literally gets the point across.

Usually I have at least one long backpacking trip every summer. This year, it was through the eastern Sierra Nevadas. I got to revisit some of the trails I did on the JMT, and climb new mountains. My happy place :)
