My next 6-book mg series is with my editor. An entire world is at war with the fae... bug-like warriors who are sick of being slaves. But they're striking back by attacking the MC, who doesn't even know she's fae.

Things get complicated.

As a girl who grew up on the Minnesota border, I still have a huge thing for the original movie.

My wife and I got one of the packages of 100 a few years back... we're starting to run low, but it's been so good to just know that it's taken care of!

My friends deserve so much better than me.

Yet for insane reasons they stick around.

Clearly there's something wrong with them.

Titus lives in a world with very little sun, tall buildings, corporate-run everything, and mono-use robots. Metallic cats hunt vermin. Phones hold everything you are.

Captain Malcolm Kirk would never say such a thing. Something like, "Well, frell me dead," would be far more apporpriate.

Oh, how I wish to be cute, too! Having fun together is doable, though. :)

I have decided that the proper name for elephant garlic is actually "dire garlic." Or perhaps garlic of unusual size (GOUS)?

Good question, and one I hadn't considered! Titus is a program. He doesn't eat. So it's not an edible treat.

Hm...

Titus thinks it's a treat to see the sun. He doesn't see it often through the pollution!

I have one that's a high school senior...

...and one in first grade.

And two in-between.

I got a ways to go...

Something fell has entered our library. Look at the books. Bereft of words, letters, pictures. Just blank paper. Yes, the ink vampire has invaded our sanctum. Find the pencils. The big ones. We will stake the malefactor.

Viva physical media!

As I slowly rebuild a physical movie library (because fuck streaming companies), the first thing I made sure to beef up was my Ghibli collection.

Now, no matter what shit happens at HBO, these are mine.

Headcanon accepted.

As a parent who has to deal with kids getting up that early...

I agree with you. 100%.
