Not going to name authors or titles, but it is wild to me how bad some mainstream books from ten years ago actually were. Across the market, the last decade has seen the bar of quality content moved upward by a lot.

A photo of the US White House, edited to illustrate the ballroom Trump intends to append to the White House.
This is a bad precedent to set. See, someone like me might come along, run for president, bulldoze the whole thing, use the rubble as seawall reinforcement, and stick a double-wide trailer on that lawn.

GHOST PARISH is now at 88,000+ words.
Cleaned up a few messy chapters and brought the storyline back around with a part I've been anxious to get to. Sorry for being so vague, it'd be a spoilery part.

Just a thought on my mind:
Living indigenously.
Living in harmony with the Earth.
Evangelicals will complain about the first as pedantic and as using big important sounding words to get their point across, but only after spending thirty years labeling the second, simpler phrase as "new age."

Instead of naming housing developments after the wildlife it displaces (Pheasant Run, Willow Creek), what if we named new growth, native forests after what we got rid of?
