I can't say I have enough books, but I have more than enough books bought by people who don't know what I like and don't read enough to know what's good.

I looked it up. From what I found(and I'm no expert) there were court cases that ruled that laws that let senators be recalled are unconstitutional. I didn't check on the house, but I assume it's likely the same.

There are a lot of rules and tips for writing. The most obvious is still the best one. The more you write the better you'll be, or at least it's easier.

I think something as long as a book needs to feel like it came to an end.
That said, there are ways to both complete the story and have a cliffhanger. Things like introducing the next problem or showing how something you set up will matter later or including the first chapter of the next book.

Depends on the story. Sometimes I know the whole story, sometimes I know none, sometimes I just know where I want to go and have no idea how I'm going to get there.

The metaphor is to perfect to not share.

'In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.'

Exactly. Donate to the individuals who are doing what needs to be done. It's not just about winning the election. Proving they can get it gives them more power to change things in the party.

my weekly patron exclusive story is about a life coach who has to help a version of herself from another reality while facing her own self loathing.

I just posted my 100th Patron exclusive story. A fun story about a strange man who is selling emotions.

People don't get the difference between criticism and review. And it's not entirely their fault. They tend to be done together.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

If the goal is to wear you down and defeat you, then being happy is resistance.

Please all remember to enjoy your life.

because if you have mental illness you deserve to live on the street?

When I want to watch a movie i tend to watch a movie.
that said, I have no real issue with it so long as they let me skip the cutscenes.

There are waits and delays here too. Which at least delays the huge bill you get even if you have insurance.

We should all strive to live our life in a moral & compassionate manner so folks don't celebrate when we die from any means including murder.

I’ve spent the last 18 months writing about the Roman Empire. In some ways, we’ve progressed immeasurably far in the last 1500 years. But there are still too many things about contemporary politics that I think would have felt all too familiar to them. I persist in my optimism that we can do better.

'I envy you. The world that you're going to'
'I envy you, taking these first steps into a new frontier'

1996, and nearly thirty years later, this moment has only grown 🥰

What is your most meaningful #StarTrek moment?

nothing bruises my ego more than when a game asks me if I'd like to try again on a lower difficulty.
