I don't know about you, but I'd feel a lot better if we were sitting in a quiet and mossy forest, having a lively book club meeting with distinguished talking animals and other wild folk of the wood.

I’ve started inviting my older kids to hang out as I’m editing. I try to narrate the decisions I’m making. How to recast a sentence, why I reject spell check suggestions, things I leave in place to honor the author’s voice. I badly want them to think of writing and editing as a human art…

Not a great picture, but the Purple Martins are back!

At the tope of a pole down by the bay are three Purple Martin nest boxes. On the one at the very top of the pole, a pair of Purple Martins sits. They almost certainly have eggs or chicks in the nest box. They have driven off several seagulls who have come too close.

I have composed a song called "Brushing Day" to the tune of "Yesterday", to sing while I am brushing the cats. Mainly because the lyric, "Suddenly, I'm not half the cat I used to be. There's a giant fur pile next to me." just popped into my brain fully formed, and then I felt compelled to continue.

Editing a book is not cold logic and pattern recognition. It’s more like conducting a symphony. Yeah, the basic beats might be metronomic, but that “algorithm” cannot reflect the chemistry of a group of musicians, the balance of a room, the audience response. That’s for the human to gauge.
