Only five chapters left in my Dragon War series and the whole thing will be done. And with every chapter closing on the end, the more excited I am about it.
But now I have to go and clean a fridge. Epic.

Life will be full of sunlit journeys, but also too many dark nights of the soul to count.
Make sure not to count them alone. If you are suffering, let others know. Someone out there does love you and wants to care. Let them know.
I know it's not Wednesday, but I need to tag #HorrorWritersChat to brag that I got to hang out at @retconnc.bsky.social with @elijah.mea.rs and @samanthabwriter.bsky.social and we had an EXCELLENT time! Yay for HWC people and great horror talk in meatspace!

My politics is once again shifting profoundly.
If you're ethos and agenda confirms, collaborates, or creates the intentional suffeirng and death of children, I'm never ever going to be for you or anything else you want.
No amount of propaganda can justify the murder of children.
if you give up an animal you gave a HOME to just because someone doesn't 'like cats', you're an asshole. asking someone to do that is equally as cowardly and pathetic.
you all suck.

Save for a live show tomorrow, everything save one video I can edit together quickly (and am pretty pumped to do so) is basically done and approved. Now I can just write, read, and eat biscuit pizzas until bedtime.
Which is a cheerful and merry thing to do.

Laughing at the idea that all it takes the be a "radical liberal" is to say you don't like Trump.
And I broke the block on the UF book. I think one of the harder parts of writing in First POV (which is not my favorite) is that it is a bit like acting: good acting requires letting go but committing, but great acting is embodiment and creation. Both are very hard.
And so is First POV. #writerlife
YOU TOO?!
I need to break past this stall in my Urban Fantsy #wip and part of it may be the schedule. Depending on how the week goes, we might start alternating days to cut down the load (which will also allow room for more short fiction writing, which I sorely miss.)
We shall see.

It is a unique feeling to be at the age where people in your life have die because of age, but you don't find out about that person until well after the fact, and despite our vast connectivity, names and faces fall to the wayside with time.
One wonders.
This journey is as much a dream as anything.

I really just want my child to live in a world not caught in perpetual war. And I want that for all children.
We should be ashamed we've allowed ourselves to continue becoming this monster.
CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.
Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.
What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.
