Very big day today! I put my anthology of vignettes of some 49,250 words in the can. It's called Desolado and it's set in the modern Southwest. There are twenty vignettes performing a logical arc.
Now to sell it.

I read a recent story about a book NOT being published because the author had AI assistance.
I use AI as a sounding board and a #critic. I'm almost finished #writing an #anthology of #vignettes of #intellectual merit. It hasn't written a word.
Will it be published? Stay tuned.

509 After Sex
A bunch of vignettes about different couples after consummating. Some are more interesting than others, but all of them drive toward a truth among lovers. Insightful at times, funny at others. Overall, a fun watch.

A solitary medium-light pink rose flower, seen at nearly eye level from the side. It is semi-double with a few petals pointing variously more or less downward near the stem, then a couple of rows forming a loose bowl in the centre. The flower is leaning slightly to the right and the sun is coming from that side also, partly lighting the flower. The background is a blurred mosaic of lighter sun-lit gold green and deep green shadow.

The signs are there: we are sliding into #autumn and the pace is sure to increase in coming days.. Meanwhile there are still #summer #vignettes if you look! #BlueSkyArtshow #EastCoastKin #Alberta #Canada 🌱📷

On listening to music It's been a long while since I listened to an album without doing something else at the same time. Just sitting, doing nothing but listening. After driving for eight hours, I was tired. I didn't want to take a nap. So I lay down on the bed, drew the blinds, switched off the lights, and wanted to simply relax. While browsing Spotify, I realised I hadn’t listened to Kate Rusby’s latest album, _When They All Looked Up_ , since it came out. I hit play and closed my eyes, letting the Barnsley Nightingale sing me into stillness. _Today Again_ reminded me why I started listening to her. I got the same goosebumps as when I first heard her sing. That song felt especially personal—a balm for my tired, restless soul. And when _Let Your Light Shine_ played, I felt strangely at peace with everything. I realised that while music has always been a constant background in my life, it’s been years since I simply sat down to listen—really listen—to an album. As I trundled through my memories trying to think of any recent times that I listened to music for the sake of listening, I was bereft of any such memories. The only instance I could think of was listening to James Blunt whenever I have a headache; it seems to alleviate the pain though I'm not sure why. When did I become too busy to spend an hour doing nothing but listen? Share this post on social media.

#JadeCargill of @WWE.com is a terrible wrestler and even worse on the mic 🎤 and acting in #backstage #vignettes. Frankly, despite having a good look, the woman, sadly, is the most #overrated #wrestler since #Goldberg. 👎🏻
