All the self-doubt / imposter-syndrome / exhausting late nights / deadline worries / major revisions are worth it. Keep writing. Get your stories out into the world. Don't let anything stop you.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

Here, too. On my son's 2nd birthday, it snowed. His birthday is on May 5th! That's Minnesota.

Good morning, creatives! May you find something to laugh about today. Happy writing.

I'm just glad my car was in the garage! All is well, but I can't speak for the roof shingles!

'waive' vs. 'wave:'
Waive: refrain from insisting on or using (a right or claim): surrender your rights.

Wave: move one's hand or an object to and fro in greeting or as a signal. Ocean/lake waves.

Dang. Don't let the rejections get to you. It's no reflection on your story or your writing. Editors/agents chase market trends these days. Years ago, they were a lot more open to taking chances. Not so much today. Keep at it, because trends change!

We had storms yesterday, too. It hailed for quite a while. This is what is left from yesterday's hailstorm and strong winds.

Yeah, good thing I have a son who puts hot sauce on EVERYTHING! He can have the rest.

OK, so I have to share... Yesterday, I went to our local grocery, which also has a prepared-food area with seating. The "hot chicken" was on sale. By hot, I thought they meant temperature. I bought a bucket. I was wrong. It meant spicy, which I don't 'do.' Sigh. Have a chuckle. It's on me.

Good morning, creatives! I guess winter is back. It's 28°F this morning, and windy! Might we get snow?? Yuck. Good day to write, yeah? I have about 20K words to go to finish this puppy!

I'm a bit surprised to hear some folks claiming Dems will "never" do any of this. Dems have already impeached Trump twice, have made multiple criminal referrals, and are currently setting up a 25A commission. And House Dems have already introduced DOJ independence reforms that are quite good.

I have an agent, a great critique partner who is also a freelance editor, and I have a full roster of beta readers. Not looking to add to that.
