I don't think I can be the only person who hates the new Liberty-Biberty thing with the passion of hellfire, can I? Why does this thing make me want to punch a baby?

Me and Colleen Kattau, proud members of the Cortland Singing Resistance, at a rally today.

That might work.

JULY weekend of #resistance in #cortlandny Fri 17 7-9 p- Homer Ctr for the Arts viewing of PBS' "John Lewis Doc. Sat 18th 10-11:30 Courthouse Park Church St Cortland: Peaceful protest/rally. Sun 19th 3-5 pm Grace & Holy Spirit Church Cortland: Rev Chris Davis of historic AME Trinity Zion church.

In person the sun looks closer to blood-orange. But this is how the camera translated it. Smoke from Canadian wildfires. (Ignorant folk are ranting at Canada on social, like it's deliberate or something. God the idiocy of Americans is astounding.)

Wow, the smoke from the Canadian wildfires is intense over Cortland County NY today. @peteweatherbeat.bsky.social

Join us, Cortland. Alt: Rev Christopher Davis to speak at Grace & Holy Spirit Church in Cortland NY SUNDAY JULY 19th 3-5 P.M. Carry the torch of the Civil Rights Movement!

We have an air quality alert today and tomorrow inclusive here in Central NY state. I live in the middle of nowhere. Farmland and state forests. There are clouds too, but below them that haze is from wildfire smoke Canada.

I just chose the perfect audition for the audiobook edition of Arsenic and Old Ladies. I'm sure she doesn't even know yet, but she NAILED it. Yay. Maybe I can get a timeline once she's signed up officially, and I'll definitely share. More #audiobook news to follow.

Roxanne (Eng. Mastiff, 10) at Cornell Veterinary having emergency eye surgery. Operation at 2 EST-another hour yet. Sudden ulcer, could rupture any time. Had to leave her at 8 a.m. Separation anxiety is intense. Dog's not happy, either. Good prognosis for vision restoration! Healing vibes welcome.

I worked with (edited) a quadriplegic author since 2023, developed his work and his voice enough to land a multi-book deal with Solstice. He passed a week ago. Craig wowed me with his determination to write and revise entire novels despite huge physical challenges. I'll miss him. #writingcommunity

As I worked on this novel, my husband would be off in another part of the house, and he'd hear me, every little while, laughing. Cackling, really. In pure delight.

I just posted this without alt text, so let me add that here. Three 60-something women walk through a cemetery at night. We see one of them dump a shovel of dirt into an open grave. The text reads "Dead pedos don't re-offend." Then the book cover for Arsenic and Old Ladies and release date 9/22. ⚡📚

I just finished proofreading the proofread and it's done it's done it's done it's done it's done! I've sent to publisher and it's done! And I'm happy happy happy cause it's DONE!

New week, next step. We have the edited manuscript back, and she loved it but had a few suggestions and found a plot hole I had missed. Easy fix, just would've been noticed and embarrassing. Thank goodness for my editor! I dive back in for one more draft this week. Then the proofers get it. #booksky

He's gone to join his beloved on the other side. What a lot he added to my life. Buffy was groundbreaking and the series of a generation. Maybe two. Thanks, Giles. Bye, Anthony.

Stargazer got a nifty new cover. It's in e and paperback wide, but so far only the 'Zon has the updated cover art. Where she comes from women rule and men drool, so earth's a bit of a culture shock.

Finishing 3rd draft today. Messed up shoulder/rotator cuff from 3 drafts in 9 weeks nearly nonstop. Too much sitting, too much head tilted slightly downward even at the standup desk. Been in agony the entire final week. Almost done tho! PT in this book works every time. bookshop.org/p/books/pain...

New cover art for a stand-alone classic that really helped put me on the map in #paranormalromance, Miranda's Viking. She's a scientist, he's a perfect preserved frozen Berserker in her lab-until he thaws out and takes his first strangled breath in centuries. Updating everywhere next wk. 1/2

For the book-in-progress I chose the actors who'd play the characters before I began the writing. This worked really well in developing the characters. Christine Baranski, Diane Keaton, Bonnie Hunt, Rosie Perez.

Third draft. I'm polishing the book 1 segment a day. According to 3-act structure method taught so beautifully by @alexsokoloff.bsky.social, there are 8 segments in a novel or screenplay. I love polishing a segment at a time, to really feel how the beats hit. #writingcommunity #amwriting

This is just audio really. My favorite bird, the Brown Thrasher. He's in the mocking bird family, and you can hear him going through his whole comedy set here, two calls of one type, two calls of another, two of another, and so on. Sound up. @captainmaiel.bsky.social you might enjoy!

I got that feeling the first time I saw the red rocks of Sedona. I was driving, rounding a curve, and that vista came into view. Later I climbed Bell Rock in the early morning, when no one else was around, and stopped and wept. Tried to get photos but you can't capture the energy. (14 years ago.)
