Chapter Three! Chapter Three! I am solidly in Chapter Three!

I'm calling Chapters One a Two complete. Sending them to my mom. I expect a good review! Lol! But really I've been playing around with all the clues I drop in the beginning of the book that come to the horrible fruition at the end.

I hereby grant Jack Smith all the schadenfreude he can manage. He deserves it.

As a retired teacher, I'm just gonna say: that's not learning, it's entertaining.

I'm finally again finished with Chapter One and nearly done with Chapter Two. Trees. I was slowed by tree research.

The scent of blossoming knob thorns has been described as a mix of marzipan, vanilla, and honey.

A picture of marzipan, vanilla, and honey.

Well, now we know why she voted the way she did.

I love a self-limiting system. Y'all go ahead and pray away, fast away, and, finally, go away.

The people of the US don't either!

The goal of this novel is to be a long prose poem, so I'm reading it out loud to hear how it flows. I made it to page twelve before I had to edit anything and I'm no longer on page two!!!

MJen Markus @mjenmarkus.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

And I'm back on page two! FFS.

I just really like the part where they showed that pic of Piker and then the Grindr servers in Dallas got overloaded.

Today I ponder exclamation points to make her sound young. Then, as the narrative goes on, they will appear less and less, to show her trauma.

I looked up every character's name and found some Poe stories I'd never read! It's an experience and an horizon broadener.

In my mind, you and Darabont are in the same amazing category.

I can't believe this is the country I live in. I mean, I've been feeling this way for a while, but some moments really drive it home.

Doing the right thing got him fired; Tmurp has everyone living in their own little topsy-turvy world.

All the deaths, all the pain, of both sides are on him.

They all signed NDAs and, like us, are just waiting for him to die.

If he wants to change things he should just have Natalie dye his hair again. Release ALL the Epstein Files.

MJen Markus @mjenmarkus.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Nope! Not happening. I live in New Mexico and that's not going to change. Maybe he should dye his hair again!

No, just no. I live in New Mexico.
