Been a minute since I joined one of these, so why not today? Maybe a bit of The Book of Tony? #FridayFling

“I know that’s right.” Tony closes his eyes again. “Anything else? I’m running a compliment deficit.”
“What truly motivates you.” Arun lets out a small laugh. “You’re fun. You’re more caring than you let on. You are devastatingly brilliant and quite possibly the best in the world at what you do.”
“Yes, keep going.” His heart is still raw and can’t be soothed, but his ego is easily placated. “Please talk about how good I look. You wouldn’t believe how well I aged.”

Here's a quick screenshot of my navigation pane in my default style sheet template! I will keep different templates for different houses, since even from imprint to imprint, style manuals change.

A screenshot of a navigation pane in Microsoft Word. At the top are Headings, Pages, Results. Below is a main section labeled GRAMMAR. Beneath it are five subsections: AUTHOR STYLE, HOUSE STYLE, AND GENERAL STYLE; PUNCTUATION; FONTS AND STYLING; NUMBER TREATMENT. Beneath that is a main section labeled CHARACTERS, ALPHABETICAL BY FIRST NAME, AND DESCRIPTIONS. And below that is a section labeled PLACE-NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS, with subsections linked from # through N, which is the end of the screenshot.

it's sapphic september and i am here to tell you that YES, The Memory Hunters is sapphic science fantasy* and you too can be disappointed by *checks* lesbians° * magic mycological anthropology and museum ethics in a post-disaster world ° one is lesbian and the other is bisexual

An Amazon 1-star review with the following text:

Lesbian romance disguised as sci-fi

It's not sci-fo or fantasy - it's a lesbian love story. That's okay if you're a lesbian. But if you're looking for a sci-fi fantasy it's a heck of a disappointment

And then you get cool pictures of clouds literally blowing through the woods. Whole place smells incredible, by the way.

A photo of a spruce-fir forest with misty clouds between the trunks. The floor of the forest is carpeted with ferns. Logs and stumps are in the foreground.

A photograph of a high altitude spruce-fir forest. Tree roots cling to moss-covered boulders, and in the background, white fog, which is actually a cloud, fills the spaces between the trees.

For anyone whose dream it is to live in a concert hall built after 2015

A modernist house all in white. I honestly don't know how to describe this picture because while the house is recognizable as a house, it looks more like a commercial building and I don't have the vocabulary to describe it. It's white. It has too many windows. There is a single curve on the roof, also white.

Minecraft-ass house. 4 million bucks to tell everyone you've always wanted to be the villain

A brown brick house made primarily of boxes, bifurcated in the middle so anyone who arrives can understand what the owner means when he says "east wing" and "west wing," stands as a testament to bad taste and wasting money. A green lawn is in the foreground; a driveway with a turnaround and what looks like a fountain also occupies the foreground.

I'm not a nighttime specialist by any means - still very much a novice in photography by many measures - but figuring out your settings AND nailing the shot is a special kind of joy.

A woman and a man face each other at night, each holding a sparkler, as if in a wizard duel. Only the fronts of their bodies are illuminated.

I don't think rule of 3s. I think about how much stuff is in the frame and how I can organize that for viewers. frex pic 1 has too much stuff; the eye is hunting. vs pic 2, the focus and vibe is clear asap

just a reminder that in this day and age, you must protect your investments

Four slices of expensive cake in a plastic bag in the front seat of a car are protected against falling through judicious use of the seatbelt. This is my level of commitment to food.

Conyers Book Festival is next week and I will be there on Sunday at noon, sitting on the fantasy panel! But a certain Ms. Bev will also be at the fest, which means it is time to brush up on core literature. That's right, we're rereading Indigo.

forgot to post legitimately the funniest thing i saw a couple of weekends ago this was in the small choir room; my assumption is someone, bitsy sue, maybe, is randomly bursting into alleluias to glorify the lord outside service

in other news, this Saturday I will be in Columbia, SC, at Read Freely Fest! Someone complimented my mushroom shirt today! As it so happens, we'll be talking about mushrooms and plants! Mushrooms are not plants. I like to think of them as fleshy beings. Just meaty little guys
