They're still descending! Absolutely bananas how much of the ocean there is.
And it's so full of stuff! Look at that little jellyfish critter, just going about its business.
Good afternoon #WritingCommunity! Anyone given CAIN’S JAWBONE a whirl? Cool mix of story & puzzle.
Sounds like only 3 people have ever solved it - definitely the kind of thing I can sink my teeth into!
PHEW. 5,822 words this week—officially wrapped Act I of Space Heist #WIP ! The crew’s together, stuff’s getting tricky & stakes are 📈
Next: an editing break. W/ a full sense of character, voice & place, a clean draft’ll be a great launching pad to the job’s chaos.
Happy #FatTuesday folks! Hope you’ve got good food and good company.
For our house, we’re digging into jambalaya, Vieux Carré, and King Cake!
Went hunting for the #GreenComet last night. Won’t be back for 50K years (if then), so best look now!

My newest writer's reference, THE EMOTION THESAURUS, by Ackerman & Puglisi. Great while I'm drafting, expect it'll be vital in revisions. Highly recommended!
What's Nutmeg's emotion here, I wonder? Satisfaction? Scheming?
Tonight: a rewatch of 1969's The Italian Job. Gotta channel that heist energy! Definitely good fodder for the WIP. #AmWriting
Plus, a lovely first snow dusting of the season:
