Slammed my thumb in the hood of my car. Why would I do such a dumb thing? Because the little tab thingy that was supposed to retract by itself wouldn’t, so naturally I held it in place with my thumb and slammed the lid again.

My copy was on my doorstep when I got home yesterday. Big smile ensued. If I bring it to Reistertown will you sign it?

Working on my novel is my mental health activity these days, but the world of books, publishing, AI, and writing can be a scary place, too. You and a few others I follow are like beacons in the fog for me. Or maybe more like anchors in a stormy sea? Bottom line - your work matters and is timely!

Pre-order complete! Now I just have to figure out how I’m going to make it until June… Remember that feeling when you were a kid and you sent in all those cereal box tops for a magic decoder ring? That’s going to be me for the next 4 months!

This rings so true to me! Another way to get out of your own head is to hop on the treadmill, or rower, or yoga mat - whatever your favorite form of exercise is. Just be sure to have a voice recorder running, because when the log jam breaks free sometimes the creative ideas flow really fast!

I’m 90k words into my first novel, I’m going to go search for those phrases right now 😊

Thrilled to say I just signed up!

That would make a beautiful stained glass piece.

Chemist: the cup isn’t graduated, how can you tell for certain how much water is in it?
