It is the last day of summer break, alas. I'm spending it on layouts of the paperback re-release of my gothic werewolf novel, The Grimhold Wolf. Damn, I wrote a good book! But also I'm annoyed with myself for how often I did PoV changes because now I have to insert all the dingbats. #fantasywriter

A slightly late #Lammas day as I harvested grapes and juiced them. Now enjoying the freshest grape juice ever in honor of Father Sun.

It's been a week of #writer chores. Going over my web site and blog for broken links, updating publications, correspondence with publisher. Finding out my favorite cover illustrator is about to have double cataract surgery and will be out of action... #fantasyauthor

I've heard questions about #voting in WA State due to the wildfires. Our voting is totally by mail and the ballots reached us at least 2 weeks ago. The fires broke out 4 days before close of polls (today) so most of us already have voted. County authorities have been very responsive... 1/

The Land Beyond: close to finishing the second draft. Everyone got home safe but hearts were broken. Working to craft an ending where there is a tomorrow without seeming to promise a sequel. #amwritingfantasy #fantasyauthor

I did it! Finished the first draft of a Victorianesque fantasy novella. Two students at a men-only magicians' university go in search of some missing classmates, aided by a secretive women-only order of wise women. If only I had a title for it. #amwritingfantasy #amwriting

Is it just me or are the Iranians and Trump starting to sound exactly like each other? All "the martyrs shall be avenged." It's like the end of Animal Farm when the pigs and humans looked exactly the same.

Looking out my window at the smoky sky last evening, saying my quiet prayer. I saw a cloud that looked like a dragon. Are the gods teasing me? #witchsky

Just looking at maps, I can't quite figure why the Strait of Hormuz was not considered Iranian waters. Because of colonialism? Guess I have to reading to do.

It's been raining in #acnh for 3 days, and my neighbor Wendy said, "It would be so cool if it rained so much the island sank and we all became mermaids." You know, that would be pretty cool.

Today, the New York Times joined Trump's attacks on California voting. I wrote in defense of California for Democracy Docket members. DD is sharing it more widely because it is now too important to keep behind a paywall. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/cali...

California is the new ground zero for free and fair elections

Trump's obsession with California's elections is neither entirely new nor surprising.
