I'm creating a whole, multi-cultural planet of Ihyel. Each country has characters, adventures, myths, mysteries, and challenges that are good reads. I can't wait to move both south, as well as west.

Red dots are published books and stories.
Green are known stories with framework scenes.
Pink is the first book I ever wrote, on a kaypro, and got lost as technology changed.

So, just had another talk with someone who has money who didn't realize that #AHCA doesn't = cheap healthcare. (During #COVID my lived experience also meant 0). It is subsidized IF you have TAXABLE income. If you don't, then expect high prices. $800+

I am watching #thesocialdilemma from 2020. (One, people did get upset about the bicycle, just maybe not as much, but especially when women were on it). But I am wondering about that addictive need for connection subverted by apps who use US to sell things.

Gollie Mollie dreaming. It's impossible to get up when she's snoring on one's lap.

I just finished the rough draft for the third Bone Reader book, Ghost Bones!
I'm giving myself a wee break, before I begin working on it. It's currently what I'll call a "glorified" outline. Needs some meat upon its, er, bones.

When asleep cat physics increases their weight by a degree unknown to science. Cold nights: all five cats slept in bed with me last night. Mollie might be tiny, her kittens are not. Awake, combined they're 60lbs. Asleep? I was lucky to be able to get out of bed to pee.

I *hate* the term #pantser about writing. It sounds like a torture for nerds in high school, like getting a swirly (something that happened to me). They've been pantsed. Just because there are people who plot, there's a better way to describe the other:

So there comes a time when I have to start "closing down" my #hydroponic garden. Usually when the lettuce starts bolting it is bitter.
You can cut the #hydroponiclettuce about an inch off the base-- like garden lettuce, and get a lot of lettuce for *months*. I reserve stems for my stock bag.

"But she knew words had power. Passing one forlorn page, she’d turned back, Bogeh enough—shaman enough—still, to sense the rising echoes of its words."
The #conlang in this passage had people turn away from my first edition. Did I not find the right readers? #mythopoeic readers?

I start with #pen and #journal, then the third phase of a #printedmanuscripts and another pen... I LOVE working this way. This #handsonwriting gives perspective on the story.
And a break from the computer, and all the temptations therein.
