After decades of technical and content writing, this old white hippie is deep into revisions on my 2nd book of fiction, a cozy mystery. Happy when I can wear shorts and a tee shirt every day. #SinC / Guppies Member. https://susannasullivan.com

Do you play our weekly word game? Here's this week's: your task is to choose the more appropriate word to fill in the blank. Your choices (alphabetically) are PALL or PALLOR.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
Every week I pull out an interesting quote (or two or three) from what I'm reading. This one is interesting because of the narrator's opinion about what's "normal" on the streets of Cairo.

#AmReading: MURDER IN THE WINTER WOODS by Katie Gayle. It's nearly #Christmas, and the village is all dressed up, with the Christmas Market in full swing. Then tragedy strikes when the local taxi driver is found dead on a dark road, run over by a hit-and-run. Or is it?

Moving from summer into cooler weather is something I always fight against. Now I concede. I've lost the battle this year. Two days ago I put away my shorts and pulled out the jeans. Today it's a long-sleeved shirt. Sigh.
#AmReading: THE CHRISTMAS MARKET MURDER by Peter Boland. Fiona, Partial Sue, and Daisy are back! The Christmas Market is attracting visitors to town despite the sicko who's prowling the streets attacking lone walkers. Layered, witty, and clever.

Absolutely. Criticism does not equal treason. Servile agreement might. Thanks to wordsmith.org for highlighting this today.

I love this quote! Something about the image of turning into an actual red herring and swimming away is just entrancing. Every week in my Substack I post quotes that grab my attention in some way, like this one. See more at:

He's supporting himself in London, barely, as a bookseller in Cheapside, which is where Elizabeth meets him.
#AmReading: MR. DARCY'S BOOKSHOP by Summer Hanford. Interesting reworking of the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Here, Darcy's been cast off by his father because he won't marry Anne DeBourgh.

When I'm writing my first draft, it's all about the word count. Later, not so much.
