I had high hopes for the SinC marathon, but work and other life stuff have sapped my energy this month. I still attend one or two write ins a week but nothing like I’d hoped.

I nominate the mosquito. Blood sucking fiend that annoys the crap out of everyone, serves no useful purpose, and sometimes spreads disease.

So pretty!

This. There’s a quote about planting a tree that also applies to starting something that matters to you: The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The second best time is now.

Husband and I are in our 50s and used to eat at Chipotle almost once a week. Then the quality went way downhill. We tried a few times at different restaurants, and it was consistently mediocre. Haven’t eaten there in over a year. If you’re going to charge that much, the food had better be good.

Wow--congrats!!

I hate even more that agents expect authors to pitch their work this way.

Ooh, those green zebras are so pretty (and yummy!)
