A small but troubling sign at the public school where I work: families are starting to move. 2 kids this week say they're moving away. Of course I don't know their circumstances but obviously the economy is a factor. #teacherstories

Got the cover art for my next book, Standing Stones and Safety Zones, from an artist I know personally, Betsy Mott. I'm thrilled with it!
Betsy took time off for family care and hasn't painted in several years. I was excited to help her get back to the canvas where she belongs.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that as soon as you start cleaning the toilet everyone in the house will desperately need to use it and cannot wait.

I watched NPR coverage of the Epstein victims. Surprised there was no mention of the military fly-over attempting to intimidate and drown out the victims. @lisad.bsky.social what gives?

At my union meeting, voting on a 3-year contract. A hard choice because one unit has been ignored for 6 years.
If even 1 unit is unhappy, I can't support the contract. It isn't about me, it's about us.

Got a nice personal rejection of my short story, "Poppet." After the ritual days of rejecting their rejection, I took another look. Their suggested fix was easy, plus the usual sneaky typos. They didn't say to send it again, so now I search for the next market. #amwritingfantasy #fantasywriter

My grape harvest. +/- 12 gallons of grapes. I use them to make juice. These are pink grapes, so I will have pink grape juice.

Warlock's Army, the cast has grown so large that I made 3 separate charts for who lives where, who knows who, and what their attitude is toward the whole mess.
Fun-ish! And my own fault. If I do this now, I won't have to stop in the middle of writing to try and name a character.
