Do you need Scrivener (vs. plain Ulysses) features on your iPad also, ideally? (Makes it more complicated, but still doable I think)

Is this something scriptable? Using Ulysses as a backend to Scrivener, essentially? (My setup is that Scrivener saves to a Google drive synced file on every device, but that's obv not guaranteed consistent state. )

Rue flower, green with 5 leaf like petals

I don't, sadly. It was at least part red in pretty sure. I recommend asking David (the owner). He is super knowledgeable and approachable. Complete grain geek.

I don’t know how many Gene Wolfe aficionados follow me, but I’ve got to share this.

This artist is planning a stop-motion adaptation of the Book of the New Sun, and here he makes his clay alzabo.

Such talent, such fun.

Also, I'm cool enough to have just hung out with the lead singer of Jawbox. I'm not however, cool enough to have realised who he was until we were going to our respective cars.

I fixed Louie Anderson's iphone settings once while we were waiting for a flight. He gave me his e-mail and i kind of wonder what would have happened if I'd reached out.

Mother, Darling Wendy knew it wouldn’t be long now before her daughter was taken. She had put the idea from her mind as long as she could, but now Jane was days away from turning thirteen.

FICTION 

Quote 
From the window of the nursery, Wendy saw Jane wobbling her way down Kensington Park Road on a borrowed bicycle, hair unbraided and wild like she’d been flying. Wendy’s throat seized with fear. Was that gold glittering in the girl’s hair? Had the neighbors seen? Was that his laughter that rang out from Kensington Park across the way?
