I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

Y'all! trade reviews are starting to come in and THE FIST OF MEMORY got a STARRED review in Publishers Weekly calling it an "expertly executed epic". As a writer its one thing to craft something you think is special and unique, another for others to agree. 🙏🏾⭐ www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-7564-1...
Hey folks! I'm going to have a little medical downtime in early September (cataract surgery) so I'm taking advantage of that enforced rest to offer 4 writing mentoring sessions at $750/each.
Spotted this beauty at the very end of a hike yesterday. The background is kind of ugly but hopefully the Peacock's beauty makes up for it. 👋
One of the most amusing things about this WIP careening out of control as I've been writing the 1st draft is that one of the MCs is literally the exact opposite of the character sketch I made for him when I wrote the synopsis. It's too funny. Then: rigid rule follower Now: no rule can't be broken!
A very hard read. Hegseth (and his allies and enablers) should never know a moment's peace for their vile bigotry.

RFK Jr and wife had a soiree at their Hollywood mansion during COVID and required proof of COVID vaccination with RSVP. Watch what they do, not what they say. –Rachel Maddow
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

In 'Southampton Water,' (1872) Whistler has reduced shipping vessels to ghostly forms in the deepening twilight, the only brightness comes from the reflections of lights and the moon. The setting serves primarily as a vehicle for his interest in the tonal harmonies of darkness.
I think this current WIP that expoded all over everything and obliterated my original outline and character aesthetics might well be on track to be the closest thing I will ever write to a "cozy fantasy" lol
