@mikeduncan.bsky.social's description of Diocletian's visit to Rome sounds like my freshman English classes. Degrees of familiarity, disrespect, and vulgarity that I haven't seen in a long time.

I've been lucky enough in the past decade to have more than a dozen pull quotes pop up here & there. Yet it's this one for the DEATHSTALKER remake that made my day. This film put a big dumb giddy smile on my face the whole way through, and that's something I needed in what's been a tumultuous year

Back now that my finals are in. Today's #WIPSnips is "hat."

Back to "Power Play." Sam's daydreaming, but business calls in the form of the POTUS.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Fun discovery looking for "ultimate." I have two different versions of "Something More" lurking in my files. Neveah's mom has a different name in each. Oops!

The final paragraphs of my opening scene (for now) from "The Hidden Court."

Apparently, I don't use the word "prize" very often. "Treasure" was the best I could do. What's that? It's "Something More." Neveah and Kessler are back on a hike, but her books are never far away.

I really wish I could be there tonight. Maniac is a terrific film.

Today's word: "hunt." We ended up with "look"instead. Georgia's having an Alice-in-Wonderland-ish moment.

“Hibernate” wasn’t promising, but Georgia does sleep, apparently. 🙃 And she has woke up somewhere that may as well be Oz.

“Salmon” was a bust, but “fish” made it into “Power Play”. Sam is playing investigator.

Today’s word is “paw”. I ended up with “claw” from “Power Play.” Sam doesn’t play nice.

"Mire." Hmm. Not a word I apparently use. "Admired" is as close as I got! Naturally, it came from "Something More."
