Hello I poked my phone up like a periscope over my shoulder to see what's happening over in the land of leggys I guess this explains why I felt like I was trying to nap between two small bags of lava

I also kinda wish I had made more of these stickers because it makes me laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME and I can totally see Ferec putting this on his tea mug
a round, dark blue sticker reading ABSOLUTELY NOT WITH SEABORNE, JUST A REGULAR PERSON. somewhat suspiciously, in the center of the sticker there's a stone column with the letters NVO at the top, which happens to be an acronym for seaborne's official motto.

I mean luckily neither of us had the gift of prophecy (phew!!!) and we survived to flee our tormentors every time, but it... was a long slog. So the story is truly about the old saw: Friendship really DOES save the day. (Still love u bro!!)

We didn't kill him. He fell sometimes people die of a fall-it's known-we are accustomed to blame but we are not to blame. Perhaps he was dead al-ready. We don't know. It's not our fault. We can't tell.

It is true that we embraced him as he sank, and we pulled on his soft rich clothing, yes, that's true. We pulled him-not down! toward!-in a direction toward the center of things, you know the one. Deep inside. People have this silly idea about directions, the way to cut up the world, north south east west up down. They forget away and toward (the center).

You cannot cut water; we think he still tried. The scabbard on his belt was empty. His hand clutched a knife. He sank slowly toward the center.

How we held him! Like a lover, entered him, tenderly, sweetly, in si-lence, not wishing to be too forward (not a direction). His juices meeting our juices. Blood of the city: rainwater and pisswater and the oozings of trash, of-fal on Butcher Street

Franca is being very EMOTIONALLY NEEDY today and every time I stop petting her she puts out her little paw like "More?" So I put some boxes next to my desk and put a cushion on and then threw a blanket over her like "Shhhh" ... It kinda worked?

Offended but not very surprised to report that when Fiasco finished giving himself a very extensive bath while sitting on my leg, he then gave me this look, got up, and carefully inserted his damp paw into my T-shirt sleeve to touch my armpit I am going to make him into a pie

Okay I did go to the block party and now I am home and exhausted (I didn't do anything, it was more just existing outside of the house) (however everyone was very nice and there was food!) The cats are UNHAPPY that I pet some kind of HORBLE CREATURE (two actually) and I SMELL

Unrelatedly, I'm filling out a 'publishing report card' survey sent to me by a literary festival organization I've done stuff with in the past and... what is 'commercial fiction'? Have I always just not known the definition? I thought it was like... mystery, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, etc.
The remainder of the questions in this survey refer to your most recent traditionally
published book.
What year was your book published?

Anyway in today's adventures of "Not Leaving The House" I draped a blanket over the loveseat to see what would happen and - Fiasco IMMEDIATELY ran under to see the layout of his trendy new Man Cave, and - Franca IMMEDIATELY followed, apparently to beat him up - Wailing - Hasty exit of Large Man
