While Christmas shopping at 1/2 Price Books, I realized that I NEVER READ FAHRENHEIT 451. And I call myself a Bradbury fan. Oversight currently being corrected.

The letdown after finishing a manuscript. The hopeless feeling that it's not good enough, and never will be. Starting a rewrite, knowing it will need professional editing. Spending significant sums to fix it just so I can fail anyway? Why bother. Back at it tomorrow, regardless. Need dopamine.

Inspired by @wiswell.bsky.social ‘s amazing Somebody You Can Build a Nest In, I decided to try my hand at an uncanny cozy romantasy for November. Progress reports forthcoming as word count grows:
“Hearts Cut to Ribbons, Gently”

We have a great horned owl living in our trees somewhere, and when I went out to blow these out last night, he “Who-OO who who”-ed at me right overhead. It was very Halloweeny.

Aw. I just found out NaNoWriMo is dead. The first novel I ever completed was a NaNoWriMo baby.
I also just found out they accepted generative AI submissions last year. So… yeah.
NaNoWriMo is dead.
#reedsyNovelSprint looks cool.

There’s been a flock of turkeys in my yard the past few days. They seem to be circling the house. Are they casing the joint? Performing an arcane ritual?
Side note: I made panini sandwiches for dinner tonight. Ham and turkey. Keeping an eye out for pigs.

Just got notification that my editor’s feedback on my novel is ready.
