As of today, I am an author without a cat. Can't believe Thor left us this afternoon. Who am I going to talk to all day while the kids are at school? Who will I bounce my ideas off of. Who is going to sit at my side and purr and wink at me? Who will I pet? Idk Picture taken this morning.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

About nothing...or about everything My family has been in Canada since before it was Canada. A Frenchman arrived here on a ship from France and kidnapped and married an Algonquin girl in 1536, and I'm pissed off at him and sad for her. That's my origine. I also had a Mik Ma'q great-grandmother.

Tomorrow the kids go back to school, so I go back to writing. What shall it be? Either The Road to Salvation draft 8 (this is the last one, I promise myself) or Dragon Tears draft 2. This one will still need to go through revisions after the draft is over. Excited to get back to novel writing.
