Y'all! I thought my timeline was messed up because of the distances people needed to travel in space. And then, I realized, the POV that was slower --- is traveling at like 3 light years. So, at a 3:1 ratio, the math pretty much works.

Clocking in! It's 11:30am and I've got vertigo. But! I'm set up in my recliner with a lapdesk and my laptop. As long as I don't move my head, I'm ready to get some words in! #writing

- clean laundry basket -- obv
- lightly worn basket -- can be reworn unless it's wash day

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Excel tip: If you use the $ to indicate absolute cell address instead of relative cell address, the $ WILL NOT COPY/PASTE INTO A NEW WORKBOOK.

Things I learned on Halloween: kids too young to read will ALWAYS go for the milk duds, cause the little boxes are big and they don't know that the caramel will be trapped between their teeth forever. Also, they're too young to either have preferences or remember what their favs are.

Y'all, this whole "rereading the 52k I wrote 2 Novembers ago, and swapping out 1 POV character" is SLOW GOING until I hit the chapters I'm swapping POVs -- (when it's a chapter shared with the orig POV character). And then it swoops by as I copy the old chapter, and swap out POVs. #writingChallenge
