I draft with Scrivener and edit in Word. I love that chapters can all be tabs in the binder, easy access for absolutely everything I need, w/o opening multiple files. Love being able to have two chapters open side by side for better continuity if I'm revisiting a plot point/character/location.

KELCE: (looks up from first edition Krazsnahorkai in original Hungarian) (pauses rare Steve Reich LP, Japanese pressing) Yes?
SWIFT: What rhymes with "thighs"?
KELCE: Hmm. "Belies," perhaps?

A meme image based on Nickelback’s “Look at this photograph” scene. The lead singer is holding up a framed picture, but instead of a photo, the frame shows a custom coin design featuring a skull with mushrooms, plants, and the words “Admit One.” Below the image, the meme text says: “look at this coin” with the word “coin” in red replacing “photograph.”

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.
Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads: “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️” Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about SUMMER IN THE HOUSE OF THE DEPARTED by Josh Rountree. A sere novella of death & haunting in east Texas, a mournful & moving read, cut through with ghosts & the dry burning heat of surreality. Our drink, a mocktail, is the Safeheart.
