Chart nerds: "If you even *think* the word Mercator at me I swear I will measure the equatorial circumference with your intestines."
Chart centrists: "What if we had Transverse Mercator?"

Finished my first beta read of the year, and my second for @jaredgoring.com ! I am excited to dig in next to a short story read but soon will have room in my brain for another alpha/beta read if anyone is looking for a critique partner and wants to swap manuscripts

Early shift tomorrow, 2 a.m. start; long shift, too, for inventory. Taking a couple pucks of freeze-dried chicken soup to work, because a hot homemade lunch can really help on a day like that…

Development is: A change [[over time]] for reasons. Let's go further into depth.
Things don't happen all at once, usually, developments included. We know this. However, we don't have the time to write every second of every day in a story.

Same here. Between time and the number of ulcers I've already given myself, I really need to limit myself, so uh, if I unknowingly tread into unhallowed ground? I didn't mean any ill, and kindly cue me in to what's what there. Thank you!
It's hard to keep up with drama.

Oh come on it doesn't take that long to dip an onion in caramel. It takes like three minutes to melt the caramel in the microwave, and then like, I dunno, a minute tops? To dip it?
I guess if you're doing like, a *bunch* of onions that would take longer, but that's what double-boilers are for!

fun fact: if a recipe tells you it will take 8 to 10 minutes to caramelize onions, they're a lying-ass bitch

...things I learned seconds ago about fried rice, explaining why mine always turns into fried mush.
Things I had wish I had known in my 20s. When making fried rice, put the cooked rice in the fridge and let it chill, or you're going to get fried mush.

Y'all if I can take a second for a shout-out here, I can't speak highly enough of @hopeengel.com as a developmental partner! Just- lovely mix of joyful reactions, helpful suggestions, good critiques; she's thorough and intent, insightful and knowledgeable! (Also a great writer in her own right btw!)

In Flight of the Fates, AL is used to uh…improvised cooking. (They've got a great recipe for fire-grilled sewer rat though!)
Molly can't eat food that used to be alive, so, cooking? Nope! XD The closest she gets is fixing hot drinks from non-living ingredients (salt, vinegar, honey*, etc.)

I'm currently reading the only fantasy book I've ever read where elves are bad at cooking and the humans have cool enchanted cakes.
Anyway, how good at cooking are your characters?

Very cool thread on minutes and time, historically!
Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking?

That shuddering yet sharp boat's-hull-striking-a-reef realization that most of your stuff is vintage now…
Spending the morning restringing my guitars and the 8yo asks if I have any vintage guitars.
I do not. But then I thought about my 1996 Strat and realized that it is 30yo and that if in 1996 I had a 30yo Strat, a 1966, that would be considered vintage.
Anyway, time is, as always, a mindfuck.

New insult unlocked: "I was down at the scriptorium and nobody knew your sorry ass!"
"A tattoo on a woman is like putting a bumper sticker on a classic car."
If you've never seen an illuminated manuscript, just say so. If you've never gently touched vellum in an act of worship, you can just say that! I was down at the scriptorium and nobody knew your sorry ass!

If you ever receive an email from me and it's NOT about a hot new opportunity for people who need some extra cash and have a great new [object not found] then delete that shit because i only reach out through the spam folder

Development is: [[A change]] over time for reasons. Let's go further into depth.
I think we all know what a change is: something used to be a way, now it's not that way.
However, there's more to it than that: change includes beginning, end, and middle.
