Just picked up this sweet lady from @ccfinlay.bsky.social and @raecarson.bsky.social so she can enjoy her fur-ever home with @authorjlhenry.bsky.social. She's a little unsure about the cat carrier but seems eager to live her future princess lifestyle!

In English, it's accurate to write, "He had had a bagel before."
But please don't. Please revise it somehow. "He had eaten a bagel before."
She had had enough of this nonsense.

So go forth and air out your junk... In the privacy of your own home.
Wear sunscreen.
Floss.
Learn what compound interest on an IRA over 40 years actually means and start investing ASAP.
Everything is made up and no one knows what they're doing.
I love Wonder Woman because of her feminist/kink history, not in spite of it. Great article on Rucka's thoughts to writing Wonder Woman right.

My 2 year old pibble is smashed up against me snoring and I need to go write more but I don't want to disturb her.

Craft is the deeper work. Sol Stein's "On Writing" talks about top-of-the-head writing, and craft is the opposite of that. It's the writing that comes from deep in your brain, your gut, your heart. It's thoughtful and precise.

Neural experiment. Secret island.
Billionaire Ashlynn wanted empathy, not murder. Now her brain’s hijacked. Only Dr. Fields—the man she’s falling for—can help. But is he savior or villain?
Love/terror clash as every thought turns deadly.

I ordered 4 boxes because... Cookies.

Mostly cookies.
I loved Iron Widow. I hadn't gotten around to Heavenly Tyrant yet, but based on the last line of this post, I'm reading it next. Your commitment to the craft is very much appreciated.
