The cover art for All I Want For Christmas Is A Cryptid - a cartoon of a woman with dark red-brown hair wearing a straw sunhat, a blueberry purple shirt, a brick brown sleeveless dress, with black leggings and black shoes stands on a wooden bridge with a green field and brown, snow-capped mountains behind her. The background color is green and the title is written in white with the word Cryptid in pink.

An isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere, with no power, no wifi, and no neighbors within screaming distance? Phoebe King’s dream come true. And you can pry it from her cold dead fingers before she’d even dream of leaving.

"All right" in favor of "okay" too. I swear I've written the okayest drivel.

I noticed a book a some time ago.

The cover had art of a woman and a dragon sitting at the side of a lake—but in the reflection in the water, the woman is a demon.

I want to read it, but I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the book!

If anyone happens to know what it is, please say!

Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint - Medical Republic A massive global study links the chronic pain condition to 26 genes associated with brain signalling, marking a turning point in understanding its biological roots.

Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'

'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

This is the most hopeful thing I've read in weeks

Forêt qui borde la rivière, beaucoup de feuilles au sol mais encore beaucoup sur les arbres, et le soleil leur donnait une jolie teinte dorée.

Comme on m'a dit que le bonheur ne court pas les rues, je vais plutôt le chercher dans les bois 😉

I wrote myself into needing the adults to take over the kid's story and I really have to fix that. I think I can keep what I've got, but Elliot needs to have agency too. This is the part where I know enough about all the characters to do backstory and figure out what's *really* happening.

This is a busy weekend with training (because of timezones my training is on Saturday, not Friday afternoon) and travel up to Seoul.

What are you up to?

I'm stepping back from this story to work on its plot. Somewhere in the last few scenes, I complicated things and can't resolve them. I have to do plot cards.

#amwriting #WriteSky about 1000 words today. Left to his own devices in a guarded tent, Elliot starts fiddling with magic and figures out the beginning of the road to eternity.

Graphic saying submissions are open for the WriteHive mentorship. With a graphic of a cute astronaut

Chaos gremlin editor here. Did you know that WriteHive’s #HiveMentor submissions are open? That’s right, author! I would love to work with you on book and/or story. Together we can make your words better and/or different.

If I can find homes for all 3 of these this weekend, that should clear rent next week.

(If you're hoping for a netted pendant, keep watching this space, I have a couple of gorgeous stones to photograph and upload.)

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall Good morning! I tend to hate my writing in the morning and like it again in the evening. But I don't hate the scene where Elliot finds out that magic can't quite translate writing, and its companion scene, where he explains that to the people in charge.
