With some coaxing and kind words, my laptop was fairly amenable today (yesterday now, I guess), and I got in a few hours of editing and formatting. Felt a little like Bob Belcher

“My rage festered within me as, with each passing day, I missed my brother more, not less. His absence marked every activity, in every situation, from the mundane like his empty seat at dinner to what should have been joyful, like when I completed a carving and rushed, barely conscious from lack of sleep, to show him my craftsmanship before I remembered he was gone.” — Inevitable Dusk (The Chronicles of Acio Seward Book 1) by Amanda Bohannan

From Inevitable Dusk by Amanda Bohannan Bolyern waited until the crunching of the growth underfoot faded. He opened his fist. Lying there was a leaf of emerald stained glass. Its veins and edges were gilded, but aside from being lovely, it served no discernible purpose. He did not believe in luck. He sighed. He had been expecting something interesting; a jewel, a treat, or some luxury from the Continent. After one more prayer at the fountain, with Quill flying overhead, he turned for home. He did not see Garton’s body, blood seeping into the foliage mere yards from the Lady and tainting his long-lived haven.

Decorating for autumn
A small artificial tree with autumn leaves and yellow lights sits on a round table with a pumpkin tablecloth. Three small orange pumpkins and a medium-sized white pumpkin surround the tree, and a small wooden sign says, “Hey there pumpkin”
