John Scalzi signing my books.

My first book signing. Thanks Scalzi for being as nice in person as you seem to be on here.

Buy his supplies and stock up. Keep the receipts.

Pretty simple to include gender references, just start signing off with Mr, Ms or Mx.

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Just like small pox came from blankets. Everyone knows that.

Glad to see that FB is protecting me from the Rabbit of Caerbannog.

Fancy hard boiled eggs.

I say kick out Mr, Mrs, Ms and Miss while they are at it. No one needs to know my sex and marital status all at once. Just "Dear Pat" from now on.

Associated press, NPR are good places to start.

Try to keep looking for the light.

Very true. I even like the challenge of picking a lens like a macro and only using it for each theme.

Maybe find a 52 week group that gives you a theme or prompt for the week. Take some of the creative pressure off a bit.

Seems my theme is going to be fire and ice this month.

If you can find a store that has all 3 to hold, see which fits your hand best.

Does she have an account here yet? I can't find it.

I am a Sony girl here, but anything mirrorless is easier to learn on. You see the results immediately as you are making adjustments.

Sorry 85 for full frame, 50 for crop sensor.

Just got the last copy of Mostly True book. May need to restock. Welcome to a nice place.

Shutting down other personal social media and business pages is scary, but I'm glad most of my photography work is with companies and real life word of mouth. Hoping to find a new friendly group here.
