My Novel Writing Month is going..... right on pace. that is a slowdown from earlier but that's why you build the cushion early. I'm at 20K words and want 40K; I think I can get there.

If you want to talk about that or your own progress this month, we've got a free call tomorrow

On Friday, we said goodbye to the teeny tiny MVP of 11 years of big cat little cat photos. I hope there are lots of delicious bugs across the rainbow bridge.

Time to bring back this Patricia Lockwood banger.

A comic panel from Watchmen, showing a partially muscled skeleton (Dr Manhattan) screaming in pain in front of two horrified security guards. Text reads: “November 14th: a partially muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing…”

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming before vanishing day to all those who celebrate.

Allsky Aurora Camera - University of Alaska Fairbanks Live view of the aurora borealis from the Allsky Aurora Camera at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

If you're unable to see the aurora from where you are, the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute has a couple of aurora cams. One at explore.org/livecams/aur..., too. It's still a bit light here for great viewing

a writing dispatch from last night

The cover of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY by Lindz McLeod. Two women in regency dress sit on a pink picnic blacket. The blonde woman in the light yellow dress offers a bright red apple to the dark-haired woman in the purple dress. Behind them we can see a lake and in the far distance, two horses stand in front of a grand house.

After demanding to know why Mr Darcy never saw her as a potential match, Miss Caroline Bingley receives an answer more truthful than she'd like. Wounded, she turns to his sister, Georgiana, to help her become a kinder, sweeter version of herself... and finds a real romance along the way ❤️
