Yes, 12-20 weeks is what I’ve heard. I think the logic is that most miscarriages happen in that timeframe.

OMG want.

I used Musely for dark spots and the results were incredible after about 6 weeks.

No idea. I haven't poked around on it.

Devyn was issued a new Chromebook for high school that supposedly has "anti AI" software installed. I thought this was interesting (and I have not heard of anti AI software before, so it could just be school propaganda, but...).

Why doesn't Google Docs have a way to export the entire contents of a file with tabs at once? This seems like a thing lots of people would want to do?

That's for the fanfic and it's none of my business.

Cassie just wanted to take pictures. Instead: a fae mall full of glamor, glitter, and gaslighting. Her BFF’s brainwashed, her crush is cursed, and her only weapon is her ability to cut the crap. Labyrinth meets Twin Peaks in the food court.
The Crystal Court: Mallrats of Destiny #QuestPit #WIP #F

A collage of Polaroids including a girl with a camera taking a selfie in a mirror, a pink-tinged empty mall, an Asian girl eating noodles with chopsticks, a guitar and a hand, a blonde 80s ice queen, and several other images distorted by mirrors. Captions on two of the photos read "The Crystal Court" "1987."

She just wanted a story. Now she's the headline.

Cursed, crashing (and crushing?) with a half-fae detective, being hunted by vampires & magical union thugs, and possibly unraveling reality.

At least the coffee’s good.

Noir mystery + urban fantasy. October Daye + The Dresden Files. #QuestPit #Q

I'm working on a YA fae portal fantasy set in a 1980s mall with horror elements tentatively titled: "The Crystal Court: Mallrats of Doom".

I'd be a great storm chaser meteorologist. If I could wrap my brain around the math.

What job are you extremely unlikely to ever get that you think you would kick ass at?

I think I could book compelling wrestling storylines.

Sounds like New Mexico...

RE: eating it, a friend of mine puts it in potato salad and it’s delicious.

My kid is big and on the summer swim team. So I have spent COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF TIME at the pool this summer. And driving too and from pools. One more day for finals tomorrow, and it starts at 6am. 🫠

Over 1700 words today! I love it when I get into flow. #WIP #booksky #skywriters

I just wrote this line that's making me cackle:

“That’s it?” she said hoarsely. She coughed and cleared her throat. “That’s all it took? This is some Wizard of Oz, ‘You’ve always had the power to go home,’ crap.”

Oh god. My ceiling is crackling. We think it might be wasps in the walls. Being a homeowner is so fun...

I just saw a post for a book that looked interesting. No link in the post. Went to the author's bio. NO LINK in the bio to anywhere! Luckily she shared a publisher's post with a link, but DANG. Make it easier, folks.

Lacy @lacylu42.bsky.social · Jul 17

#booksky a tip from your friendly digital marketer: If you are marketing your book, you MUST include a link somewhere — in the post, a comment on the post, or AT MINIMUM in your bio. People are lazy and forgetful. Make it easy for them to purchase.

Even if none of these recent query requests turn into anything more, the feeling of being wanted is SO VITAL to keeping one's spirits up as a writer.
