If you're opposed to the takeover of our government by unelected oligarchs and unqualified computer science majors, please write to your senators and congresspeople today. There WILL be a reckoning for the crimes being committed, and the sooner it takes place the better.

From Gaiman’s Sandman. You mean the famous fantasy writer who says he’s a feminist is actually an abusive rapist? Wow, what a twist.

Woo-hoo... Finished four articles for Enworld publishing in record time. I think I've still got it. Now I have to apply the same energy to some other projects to get my overall mojo back. We shall see.

In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde; it was condemned by Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance”

It LOOKS as if my house sale is finally closing on Tuesday, so barring any last-second disasters that particular phase of my existence will soon be over, and I'll be happy in my new home with my partners, my dog, cats, computer, paints, miniatures, game books, and everything else that goes with it.

OK, a marathon writing session this week has completed 4x 1500 word rpg articles and submitted them. Well ALMOST completed since one is formatted wrong, but I'll fix it tomorrow. I seem to work best in crisis :)

Now, in the name of "free speech" they're removing any guardrails. I'm done. Hope my friends are here too.

Dang, I just saw The Watchers, directed by Ishana Shyamalan. It got poor notices and bad audience ratings, but I loved it despite some slow moments. A fae-based horror flick, it actually had an uplifting and moving conclusion. A bit on the nose, but still worth a watch.

The only phone calls I receive anymore just leave voicemails about how "Your special support assistance is about to expire. Don't delay or you will lose out on this valuable compensation" etc. I've blocked them from ringing through, but I have to constantly scrub my vms. Everyone else just texts.

I had to trash a few thousand words but I'm back on track with 7k words. I normally don't like rewriting during first draft, but it was getting bloated and going nowhere. Now it's tighter and more focused. Next the party discovers their host's dismembered body, and are of course prime suspects.
