People always ask me, “how do I know my manuscript is done?”
There’s only one way, my friends.
If your file name looks something like this:
Manuscript - Final Draft 3.7 FINAL FINAL - FINAL (5).docx
Then, and only then, is it time.

And books make great gifts, so stock up . . .
It's always a good day to support your local independent bookstore, but especially good on small business Saturday. I spent a happy morning at mine: @booksandbooks.bsky.social

Here's some Friday light reading for you, ICYMI.

Humans have a strange habit of deciding what a word means and sticking with it, until reality or the dictionary intrudes. Song lyrics are especially tricky.

I could probably have written a whole chapter in the time it took me to upload a banner photo because of the way Bluesky crops the image. In case you were wondering how adept writers are at procrastination.
