You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

Tonight! Who will I see there? I do believe this will be an epic one.

Four thousand words today. One more chapter to go tomorrow, then the read through, last clean-up, and it’s going in. Woofie helped. As did @joshaboldt.bsky.social and Ruby. And the leftovers from last night. 💪😍

Woofie got a grooming and now is helping me work at the Lexington Writer’s Room. Very distinguished.

This is both a description of what just occurred outside and my finest IG story work.

All right, 3k yesterday at our monthly communal writing gathering at the LWR, ever closer to the end. Time to motivate, shower, write, brunch, write more!

Say what you will about small towns, but @joshaboldt.bsky.social helped pull a still off the video (we finally got) off the security system and the entire county is enhancing and my friends are IDing the car's make, etc. etc. Look out, scamster pick-up guy who robbed my mother. We're gonna find you.

I'll play -- share the first line of your novel. (The Frame-Up, in this case!)

NOT YOUR AVERAGE HOT GUY is on sale! THE DATE FROM HELL is not, but c'mon, live a little! I forgot to post while it was. Get a little apocalyptic rom-com action on for Halloween week, why don't you? These are the FUNNEST books I've written. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

I do like that Amy McGrath's campaign emails have just descended straight into shit-talking 😂

Here’s the cemetery!

Yesterday @joshaboldt.bsky.social and I went on a spirits and spooks walk at Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill after a whole day of rain — maybe your Monday needs the magical rainbow we saw at the very end.

It’s so great! I had on this one!

Some scenes and signs at the Lexington No Kings protest. The march was the biggest I’ve seen maybe ever here. 💪

I keep envisioning Nicholas Sparks refreshing all the ranks and being so mad that Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben's collab are beating his and M. Night Shyamalan's collab -- but taking comfort in the fact at least his name is bigger on the cover (which is not classy, bud). 😂

Wiped so watching a Goldie Hawn movie. Still in deadline mode and starting an ADHD med tomorrow BUT the banana plant I bought as a tiny smol early in the summer just came in for the season and seems happy.

Is Sally especially radiant or did she just get a new squeaky tennis ball?

Not related, but tangential -- I recently wanted to watch an old courtroom drama and picked Runaway Jury and there's a random Beetlejuice nod to Winona Ryder's character

I'm reading Samantha Harvey's short beautiful burst of a novel, Orbital, for tonight's book club and it's nice to see the Earth from so far away this week. Recommended. (Late to the party, I know.)
