Back in my happy place. Why do I forget I LOVE my office? That I love working on books at my desk? That Book Three of The Bone Reader series *is* actually a good book!
Only way to get past book blues is to be there, working. :)

I kinda love Spambot Emails that tell me my books are great. Granted my marketing is off if that's the only response I'm getting. Still, fuck off spambots.

GREAT cover right? I have a number of imperfect copies. It's *just* the blurb on the back. Domestic orders discounted price is $20-includes shipping! North Georgia: Let's meet and I'll discount it more. DM if interested!

Figured out that writing became my safe playground. So many things and themes to explore. But that's a book isn't it? One opens it up and it's suddenly a new playground--even when written by someone else?
Where are YOU going to play today? Er read?

I keep forgetting to share Tales of Ihyel. It is out on eBook. It includes the 2nd ed of The Red Khémèresh. It starts with an origin myth and goes into Ihyel's future. It's planet building in story form.

I'm not just building a multicultural planet book by book. I write other things. For people who sign up to my newsletter, they get a sneak peek into my science fiction work. I'll be working on it in 2026. mabmorris.com/newsletter/

I'm creating a whole, multi-cultural planet of Ihyel. Each country has characters, adventures, myths, mysteries, and challenges that are good reads. I can't wait to move both south, as well as west.

Red dots are published books and stories.
Green are known stories with framework scenes.
Pink is the first book I ever wrote, on a kaypro, and got lost as technology changed.

My office now feels all swanky. Inherited tapestry & desk, very old gifted rug, a settee I bought years ago (at a discount, because it reeked; I cleaned it)

So, just had another talk with someone who has money who didn't realize that #AHCA doesn't = cheap healthcare. (During #COVID my lived experience also meant 0). It is subsidized IF you have TAXABLE income. If you don't, then expect high prices. $800+

What's going to happen now?🤷‍♀️

#NamelessSaint with a glass of #Chardonnay at her feet (Mom's favorite wine), with the last way we gave her wine. She was dying, you see, of Cerebral Spinal Fluid Cancer, so she could have ANYTHING she wanted. #rememberingthedead

I am watching #thesocialdilemma from 2020. (One, people did get upset about the bicycle, just maybe not as much, but especially when women were on it). But I am wondering about that addictive need for connection subverted by apps who use US to sell things.

Gollie Mollie dreaming. It's impossible to get up when she's snoring on one's lap.

I just finished the rough draft for the third Bone Reader book, Ghost Bones!

I'm giving myself a wee break, before I begin working on it. It's currently what I'll call a "glorified" outline. Needs some meat upon its, er, bones.

When asleep cat physics increases their weight by a degree unknown to science. Cold nights: all five cats slept in bed with me last night. Mollie might be tiny, her kittens are not. Awake, combined they're 60lbs. Asleep? I was lucky to be able to get out of bed to pee.

There are so many books to read... what if I stop watching TV shows and movies. Would I still have enough time to read them all?

I *hate* the term #pantser about writing. It sounds like a torture for nerds in high school, like getting a swirly (something that happened to me). They've been pantsed. Just because there are people who plot, there's a better way to describe the other:

I prefer #organicwriter or #discoverywriter

This song saved my day: youtube.com/watch?v=bvgp... I was incredibly discouraged. I wanted to stop #writingfiction because, er, reasons.

So there comes a time when I have to start "closing down" my #hydroponic garden. Usually when the lettuce starts bolting it is bitter.

You can cut the #hydroponiclettuce about an inch off the base-- like garden lettuce, and get a lot of lettuce for *months*. I reserve stems for my stock bag.
A bowl with picked lettuce, some that have clearly bolted into a long tall stalk with leaves coming off of it. A pile of bolted lettuce with a three tub hydroponic "tower" on the other side of the counter--the lettuce came from this tower. Image of the hydroponic tower, where lettuce has been cut about one inch from the roots. It looks scraggly, because the tower needs to be renewed. Two bowls. The one at the top has a pile of freshly picked lettuce. The one below has a tomato, cucumber, and garbanzo salad.
