Zeta is a five year old, adventurous, lost child. Two old retired cats help her get home.

I took a break one night from writing the wip and this stream of consciousness required little editing.
📚💙
I hope you enjoy it, the wip is a published debut now.

Anyone that isn't, isn't paying attention. What's to love about an elder guy so selfish that he starves the least among us for his enjoyment then boasts of his actions?

Zip, zilch, nada.

He is among the worst of the species ever.

I've been a little quiet recently, but...

...I've been busy with client edits and working on something soon to be revealed.

👻Don't forget 1/3 off beta reads for kidlit authors if booked during October.

100%

Non-human Monsters don't really exist.

They are a very dark sort of operator and they are 100% human like all the human monsters among us. And they deserve a ubiquitous resistance and they deserve to be shunned.

I completely agree with you, too.

I was almost sure to have read that the Epstein file guy was out to kill her, too.

That he isn't dies not suggest him a good guy. His reasons are always self-serving, never magnanimous.

Joseph P. Gillis @josephpgillis.bsky.social · 6h

I definitely did not expect to find the guy named in Epstein evidence to have been supporting democracy in Venezuela while slaughtering it here.

Her fight has always been bigger than her, to her. Maduro is that sort.

No matter what she says, her cause and her life are protected by the award.

I do wish you great efficacy in your marketing strategies!

The synopsis is tough, but it took me nine months after publication and maybe nine attempts to nail down the format.

None of it felt as improbable as the writing and the creative editing along the way.

I've never let the market detract from creating a piece of art. No stars, not ever, in my eyes, over art. My debut is a beautiful work and selling 27 copies still blows my mind. Maybe six went to family and friends.

I'm a thoroughly broke self-publisher. Thinking sales would hit NYT lists, no way.

Joseph P. Gillis @josephpgillis.bsky.social · 1d

I had tears flowing trying to read her efforts. Did you know the epstein file guy warned maduro to not harm the opposition. A rare good bit from our own dictatorwannabe.

Joseph P. Gillis @josephpgillis.bsky.social · 1d

I cried reading about the Venezuelan Nobel Prize winner.

I'm also glad she supports attacks at sea as a way to oust maduro. I'm glad the epstein file guy has issued warnings to maduro to not harm the opposition.

I could've done without the pettiness of the crybaby, leader of crybabies, whingin'.

I love Mr. Flacco! His interviews are the best. I hope he strikes gold in Cinci.

Flights? Not on my radar.

Folk less fortunate than I and others struggling? My number one concern.

Have you read Desolation Angels by Jack Kerouac. Entire paragraphs of scat. Just trusting Jack is an odd read. (above is my original improv scat.)

Such straight forward, one part questions, and she turned them into mental marathons of grade school level drivel. "Have you seen pictures of trump with half naked children?" "Senator, how much money have you taken from Epstein's friend?"

I'd like that answer, too, but lead with yes or no, trumper.

Joseph P. Gillis @josephpgillis.bsky.social · 5d

My debut included two species, one unrevealed, likely humanish, from a failing planet in the Sombrero Galaxy.

The other, near-pure-energy beings, had hitched a ride. These beings were unlike Asimov's Lucky Starr, but research had led me to the earliest mention in canon of pure-energy beings.

Thank you!
Have a lovely weekend, my dear friend!

Plateaus are a total drag. I'm on one. Having lost weight and gotten blood pressure down, this last five pounds is a too-long back and forth. It will start dropping again, stay the course, I tell myself, too. When a new low comes off that scale, it will be an inspiration. Best Wishes!

The plan:
Chocolate Chip Cookies with sprinkles!

Maybe I'll use thin icing to design pumpkin faces with sprinkles!

Something about me not in my profile is, as a baker, precision is priceless.

The chaos of sprinkles is disarming. 🥹

So, no faces. WWIT? (What was I thinking?)
😂🎃

These cookies are so good!

Extra Cacao and extra chips! The chips used today are milk chocolate, for a change. Almost no icing and then dipped into a bowl of sprinkle chaos.

I actually sat for thirty minutes trying to separate the colors. That was a dead end. I did use those by taste testing them, yum!

In my mind, I had carved pumpkin faces with triangle nose, Cheshire cat smiling eyes and a zig-zag mouth. I had one cookie ready, dipped it and umm, it was chaos and effectively just covered the cookie with sprinkles. So, I just went with that, honestly, rolling my eyes the entire time I pulled each cookie out of the bowl. They are super yum!

Hola Jo-Jo(have a cousin with that name)☕☕☕🥞🥞🥞🥓🥓🥓🍓🍓🍳❤️🙏😇 I haven't seen anyone use spoons as a musical instrument in 50 plus years. I think it's a lost art now. Sounds like you are going to have a pachanga today! Please enjoy!!

I tried finding a washboard being played. The spoons was actually in a few gifs. It'll be fun! Thank you, Lorenzo! I pray your day is your favorite sort of day!

"The Whole World is Watching," sounds sadly correct today.
