Editing is frustratingly slow sometimes. An hour to get one paragraph right. And it is statistically probable I'll end up deleting it at some point in a future edit. I just keep reminding myself that this is why more people don't write books.

I know I should be editing but a friend got me my very first fountain pen and I'm busy playing with it.

It's so tiresome to do, but there is no substitute for reading your draft out loud while you edit.

Sometimes I hate editing. Progress has been slow the last couple of weeks. But at least there is progress.

B&N May be a big box store, but never underestimate the influence of the book sellers that work there. My wife makes sure our favorite local indie authors are well represented. Can you spot the four @cheriepriest.com books at the Issaquah store?

Reading The Drowning House by @cheriepriest.com. What do you call southern gothic that takes place in the modern northwest? Also, not sure what's scarier, the haunted house-wreck or the terribly accurate and depressing descriptions of getting older.

Another lap around the sun. I put this print by Caravaggio, in my office. The painting depicts Jerome as a life long scholar with a skull to remind us of our mortality. For all its flaws, I've sought to constantly better my mind and as long as God blesses me to be in this rock, I intend to continue.

This is a great series. This is up next in my TBR.
Oh, I hate when a 7.62cm cube appears in the crown prince's head. But I love when it starts a big, fun murder mystery. Sasha Bonkowsky reviews Daniel O'Malley's Royal Gambit for Reactor:
