Things I am really, really good at: 1) sleeping 2) not taking things personally. What about you?
I've fallen behind on #Orbachtober because I've been working on my taxes (LA residents got an automatic extension to October 15th because of the fires), so here is a sketch of Jerry Orbach doing my taxes.

Thinking of things I’d like to do next time I go home:
Spend time at the lake
See a film at The Little
Go to multiple bookstore coffee shops
Get some local clothing/decorations to bring back to LA that remind me of home
See snow for only ONE day
Spend only ONE day in below freezing temperatures

Old cameos are one of the best parts of Criminal Minds.
I was watching S5E23 and I'm like "Is that Tim Curry?" And lo and behold. It is.
Made me smile as much as seeing Frankie Muniz in an earlier season. Lol.

There are three agents at the same agency who all might be a good fit for one of my stories, but now I have to decide which agent to query and my brain is opting to simply melt instead.

What’s the weirdest character you’ve ever created? In one of my stories, I have a kid who turns into a monster. He likes to eat the bad guys #writingq #WritingCommunity
I have to research about 60 hard-enamel pins, found on two pin banners a few days ago ($6.49 at Goodwill).
A mix of Harry Potter (getting re-donated ASAP), Stranger Things, The Simpsons, Stephen Universe, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, etc.
Someone's trove.

Crisis averted, I think. Unless my fix is going to ripple out and cause new problems I'll encounter further in.

I just found one of those timeline fuckups in the order of my plot that means I have to hit the breaks and rethink everything and I'm not sure how much work it is to fix it, or if I even can without massive changes and FML. #AmEditing
The problem with SF is that you'll write a story for fun, and then 8 years later, it's suddenly like, "oh, wait, that's applicable to today."
Do you ever feel like your story is truly finished? I just don’t. That doesn’t mean I work on it forever, but… #writingq #WritingCommunity
I’m doing a module about workplace violence for the bookstore and there is a lot of talk about HORSEPLAY. I haven’t seen this term since I was a kid, one of the posted rules at the swimming pool was NO HORSEPLAY. HORSEPLAY doesn’t even feel like a real word anymore. HORSEPLAY🐴
Automated customer service is the devil
So Kevin and Stepson have cooed over the snake and everybody went away happy, or in the case of the snake, glad the weird tall things left.
