As of 2023, Sherlock Holmes is finally in the public domain in the United States -- which means that Arthur Conan Doyle's heirs and random other rights-holders can no longer insist that the character be free of any trace of homoeroticism.

oh no
I would definitely get more houseplants and do more gardening to fill the time. I would think posting counts as public consumption, though?
Really? That's interesting! I assumed it was connected to my bad sense of navigation.
Details that are lost on me unless I stop to google it every single time it's mentioned!
Yet another inkwash in rich, deep blues, sea greens, streaks of turquoise and a shimmering stripes of copper and silver.
That copper, tho.
If I see a plain band on either ring finger I'll assume married, because I always have to look up which hand you're supposed to wear it on. And I have to consciously keep track of right vs left, so I probably wouldn't know what hand it's on anyway.
The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!
Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!
I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT
God yeah. Even two months! I could sleep AND read.
And as much as I could use a fully funded break, not being able to write for a year would just make the financial pressure to publish even worse after I got back, and I would have to start a new book from scratch to make that happen, setting me even further back. Bad all around.
I've thought about this all day and I can't come up with anything. I like writing! I don't want to spend a year not writing, and I don't want to spend a year writing work that I'm never allowed to share. It would feel like such a waste of valuable time.
I do think that whatever spiritual crisis is happening right now is, if not caused by, mirrored in the weird blandness of new construction home decor. Everything is taupe and frictionless! You will never be surprised! You will sit quietly in your beige and wait for your turn to be old!

There are more high speed trains and solar panels now than at any point in human history

This photo shows a cluster of gorgeous blue and purple bluebells poking through a wrought iron gate.
I've been really frustrated not to be able to visit our local woods since bluebell season began, but I was thrilled to spot these rogue bluebells popping up in the garden of our new house like a taste of magic...
Unfortunately I have never made peace with anything in my life.
So many things in life are outside your control, such as whether your sewer line will sink too deep and back up into your basement. The secret to happiness is making peace with the uncontrollable, including how long it will take and how much it will cost to excavate and replace your sunk sewer line.
I agree with this, with the addition: practice revising those finished drafts, too, whether or not you have any desire to share them with others! Learning how to make our drafts better is so essential to actually progressing with our skills.
First draft is for telling yourself the story, revisions are for telling your readers the story.

100% I've said this before, but learning to say a project is "done enough" and moving on and also just stubbornly continuing to make shit even if it isn't good are more important than being the world's best draftsperson.
If you're excited for my Fantasy Romans book, there's another merch reveal today on Kickstarter -- PLUS an exclusive excerpt from the book, featuring the scribe of an ancient manuscript, Gaius Talius, having a Very Bad Day. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale... 🪐📚🩵 #queerbooks #queeradultsff
