Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1579: If you’re going to write in any genre (children’s fiction, SFF, romance, etc), you need to read EXTENSIVELY in that genre. You need to read current authors in the genre. You need to know what’s been done; what tropes exist; how the genre has changed.

Minnesota: Split bipartisan legislature.

Kept the government open. Invested in improving lives. Responsible budget cuts.

Washington: Republicans control House, Senate, Oval Office.

Government shutdown. Driving up health care costs by thousands. Skyrocketing national debt.

Impressive how one political party can control the White House, the House, the Senate, and the Supreme Court, but not bear responsibility for whether the federal government functions. Neat trick.
