My synopsis is INCREDIBLE (it's not).

Totally into doing an 'all the DW peeps' cabin again like April, except in April I was writing a thesis so my work was incredibly dull.

The first book in this story's setting is being serialized by Lindsay while she waits for her covers to be ready to go. She is a USA Today bestselling author; I'm just that annoying beta reader friend who got convinced to write something in the same setting because I helped create it.

Fantasy is not my thing and I don't know what I'm doing~ The fact that they're mysteries was my contribution.

tuesday pointless miscellany

1. There is a staircase behind my desk that says STAIR C. I do not know where it goes and am having a lot of trouble not just going and walking down those stairs out of pure curiosity. There is absolutely nothing bad about this plan at all, of course.

(This is an old building and people have died in it, just for the record.)


2. If anyone does want to throw flashfic prompts at me, please do. I realize a grand total of two people know any of my characters because I never post fiction here; I keep meaning to make a second account for that and am now just like, well, people can skip it if they don't want to read it. So ... I will pretty much take anything at all that you think might construe a prompt -- except an exact scenario, that is more like a suggestion -- and we'll see what comes out.


3. Have planned a graveside trip for Father's Day; am not sure if I should tell my mother or not? Because she might not like that I see the completed headstone yes my dad died in 2016 we're slow and it's hard to get there in bad weather which was most of the last year before her. She is in Michigan. I am not. I would prefer to be, but if I am going to be without any of my blood-family on such a painful day, I will have to do for myself.

I can't wait to shut up about this paper

Well, I have 46.1% of my edits made, and three visualizations that aren't complete disasters (talk to me about how it took over an hour to make a circle! or maybe don't) and I'm really tired of it. It's due tomorrow night and I want to stop looking at it.

Today also included:

– Taking Trip to CGC class which resulted in him also managing to eat a hot dog and a very very little bit of ice cream in his own bowl. Carvel has a dog size.

– Being dared to submit something to Clarkesworld, and realizing I have nothing that meets the parameters, so trying to figure out if I should write something new or not? The dare had monetary parts. My usual fiction editor (btw if you need an editor, she's taking more clients, actually legitimately talk to me about that one) is down to try it out.

– Keeping the dog out of the house for the entire time it was being worked on so that he didn't do his scaredy-dog thing where he sat in a corner and growled.

– Not melting to death, but only barely.


ETA: Searching for stickers on Redbubble for my grant notebook and ... why are all the kitsune one-tailed? I need a(n obvious) kitsune for this thing, not just a fox. Nothing against just-foxes.
