Loves the outdoors, forests, stars at night and the worlds that books open up. Fan of (among others) Star Wars, Ted Lasso, and Miss Scarlet; in other words, a diverse arc! NaNoWriMo'er, writer, musician. Fond of morning walks and Tai Chi
Grad school and endless class presentations drummed any regular stage fright out of me. Now if I had to get up in front of a big SF convention and do a reading of some of my work - then it might come roaring back!

Hi Campers - an overly diligent junk mail file misdirected Jared's emails, but I'm on board now 😏. My challenge isn't so much writer's block as distraction by other things and a loss of momentum on the WIP....

It's a nicely sized device and does a lot. Too bad my local library bailed on Hoopla because it was GREAT to read that content.

My library has Hoopla and lists the audio book, but then says it's not in the collection - so I just shot off a 'recommend to buy' post to the local library. Here's hoping they take action on the request soon!!

Just sent my note of support to the WA state delegation via Democracy.io - easy to do and so worthwhile. We need all the sparks of light (like Chandra) that we can find in these dark times!

Episode 315's finale title is "The Cavalry has arrived" - and those are the first words spoken by a Bad Batcher (Wrecker) in their first outing during the final season of the Clone Wars. Talk about an arc! 💫

early this morning I misheard the news about his on the radio and thought the boy genius was renaming it 'axe'. Strange, I thought, but eerily fitting to what he's been doing to the T. "X" is much in the same vein, as it turns out.

Threads is like the roach motel in the Zuckerverse - you can get in, but good luck, dudes, getting out (or keeping your own data)
