All errands done. Some catch-up chores done (for book cover stuff) I have one hour to work on store/pattern stuff, so I'll try to get the Neapolita Shawl pattern typed in as much as I can.
I am on the first repeat, and after that, the other repeats are... repeats, so they'll be easier.
I beleive that ;o)
I've had to rappel down a hillside with a man roped to my back
Pink plum blossom against a bright blue spring sky
It’s a beautiful day!
Being an oldie, I was watching that and thinking, "Dang, that's probably really good rotator cuff exercise..."
(The PT likes big circles with the arms, so...)
When we do active shooter drills, I'm gonna start having my kids text their families that they love them.
You gotta practice those soft skills too, you know?
My god, that WAS last month
Another reminder that not all the activism you see is visible
I have my pre-made covers pages redone, but need to tweak the website A LOT.
It's rusty in there, but at least I think I have all the photoshop files. (I also have a ton of links to clean up. Ugh. Be patient.)

Found all my ebook cover files, so this weekend I'll work on re-opening my pre-made book cover shoppe.
Bummer!
This is one of the things we regularly do at the dog park. We call those 'karma poops' and hope they cover the times when we miss one of our dogs' leavings. (We try hard to watch them, but know that we've missed a few in the last few years.)
"Vibbert’s stories always surprise me. Here, vibrant physical elements are paired with an exploration of beauty and the misguided ideas surrounding it. The bioscience is fun to contemplate." - Thank you so much. Also, a great list of flash to while away the weekend with!
Poor baby...
We've hit the 80s here, which is so early, but things are not budding, so I guess it's time...
This weekend I will try to relax and let my little gray cells work in that epilog in the background. I've already shut down my patreon billing for March 1, but I do need to write them a note on Monday.
If you're a mystery fan, this book is free today.

Yesterday I finished the edit pass, although I still need to work out a proper epilog. I'm going to go ahead and take today for a 'store catch-up' day, which means working on my crochet store a bit and maybe my book cover websiite.
OOH!
I put a response up about having four books before the pub axed me, but then deleted it because these types of discussion don't really involve much comprehensive reading...
More dragon flow: we call them sky dragons.

It’s #NationalTellAFairyTaleDay. Here’s a favourite of mine: Gently Creaking Boards (first published at @flashfictiononline.bsky.social)

The cover of Solitary Agents with 'Now available to request on NetGalley' in yellow text above it.
Some exciting (and not at all nervewracking) news this morning! SOLITARY AGENTS from @headlinebooks.bsky.social is now available to request on NetGalley UK!
Request it here - www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...
Congrats on completing your first year of your 50s, then ;o)
(I'm a decade older, so it is survivable!)
One of the guys on Tumblr I follow posts pics of birds and squirrels and deer multiple times per day. This morning one of his photos was hidden for 'possible adult content' because it contained tits.
(He regularly posts tits, and I often repost them because adorable.)
Sound on! A moment of sweetness for your day. ❤️
20% to go on this edit pass. Book will probably clock in at 85K, longer than I planned, but I still doubt it will tie up every last loose end. ::sighs::
When Trump announces a "golden age of America", and claims the economy is "roaring like never before", it's important to clarify - for whom? Obviously, the answer is for Trump and his backers. Not for the average American, not for the people of Minnesota, certainly not for Renee Good or Alex Pretti.
I opened up my "BookCover" website, and found it mostly still intact. I will need to redo the pages and links, and re-download all those many covers off a hard drive, but... that's a lot of work I won't have to do. (When I stopped doing cover work, I made the website private rather than dumping it.)
This is basically the case that the comany that owed me money is gone and the new complamy has nothing to do with that sale, so why should they pay me. (And it's not like I can track down the previous owner and demand payment from him.)
