I never got to shout out how much fun I had at Worldcon. I came home with a bit of crud, and before I could get over that my kiddo came down with HF&M. He then shared it with me. We are all good now.

I’ve decided to read romance in February. Maybe the HEAs will kill the stress eating doom. So far, I’m in love with the dialogue. The wit and sass! 💚

Ants. 🐜 Last year we found them in August and last night I discovered them behind the bed, coming from the baseboard and getting onto the bed. If I defeat them today it’s still going to be nightmare fuel. 🙃

I rarely get nervous while submitting short fiction anymore. I did sweat bullets over a contracted story. My fears have been eased, and I hope I get to do it again! <3

It’s 3am and my toddler woke me up. I can’t go back to sleep. I want coffee. I’m going to be a mess for the rest of the day. I will now take a dramatic bow and exit.

Strange things my kid says, “stay here. I’m going to say bad words in there.” (Meaning in the other room.) “Let’s play a game of littles.” I have no clue what game it is. Halloween edition: “will you come haunt me?” (He could be saying hunt)

My reading taste is all over the place: I went from historical fiction, romcom, to hard sf last month. When they said writers should read widely, I understood the assignment.

In Athens there used to be a book store that had a ton of old sf novels with these amazing covers. Most had plastic sleeves. I miss that place. I think it was more of a collection than a store.
