I have (had) no idea. One zucchini seedling just started shriveling, one of its two first leaves (that aren’t actually leaves, I know) and then the other. Now it’s gone. And then one of its littermates followed. Fine. Be that way. I’ll just plant MORE. In fact, I planted three. Research tells me the culprit […]

I’m editing. Still. Again. That’s a lot of my life right now. Most of this manuscript was written in word-sprints when I was furloughed last spring, so it’s very much a mess. Eventually that mess caught up to me. I was unable to write the ending because I didn’t actually KNOW the rest of the

I just scroll, and reblog what I like or what I think is important, very occasionally commenting but mostly not. Kinda

I’m still editing Hiro II. I shouldn’t say it like that, really, because a lot of the time that I’ve been trying to edit, I really haven’t been editing. So I am still intending to edit, but doing it a lot more than I was. Or something. Definitely accomplishing more. It’s hard to keep the
