I stop by a stall selling blistered shishito peppers in grease proof bags, then make my way to the courtyard rest area, where my pet elemental is allowed to relieve itself by causing a localized squall over the imported grass.
The tickets were cheap, but now you're stuck with a six hour layover in the Elderhall Skyport before the next dragon arrives to take you to Feyhome. What do you find to amuse yourself during the wait?

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

As you might imagine, the vibes at my weekly queer curling games are very different from the vibes at my weekly queer choir rehearsals. The nuances of community gatherings!

Being stuck short $250 of Nov.'s rent, and my week's grace period to get that in ending tomorrow, I'm temporarily bringing back the old price for manuscript critiques as an emergency: $250.
Anyone need one? Or have other editing work to pass along? I'm a bit up against it.

As someone who’s experienced it, I’d like to add my voice to those asking that people stop using “psychotic” to mean “bad/evil/etc.” Same with “psycho” and the latest trend of “XYZ would send me into psychosis”. Just… no.

I’ve had wonderful experiences with Kaya as editor. I highly recommend her.
Unexpected reminder today that I've a small financial clusterfuck going on in the background on my end. (It'll continue until I can sort it.)
So, uh, hey, anyone have a larger editing job they need done, maybe? I do dev/copy/line/proof/whatever. Rates at the site. Or DM.
