Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Dachshund #16. I'm drawing a dachshund every day until THE LISTENERS comes out on June 3rd.
Ok, every attentive reader of mine has been waiting for a John Singer Sargent, so here is Madame X in her most socially acceptable form, accessorized with a dachshund.

"Flabbergasted" is a combo of two archaic words: "flabby" (to flap, flutter) + "aghast" (filled with horror, shock).

Piano roll of “Laura Palmer’s Theme” from Twin Peaks. The visual representation of two mountain peaks in the music was a “cosmic” coincidence which shocked both Lynch and Badalamenti when they discovered it

Some of the inspiration for my current project were Southern Forests, Small Town Crime Stories, Monsters & Two Logans (one from Gilmore Girls, and one from Veronica Mars).

In first and close/limited third person, anything described is necessarily what the POV character sees/hears/feels. You can almost always cut these verbs.
