These near misses. Ugh. #litagents #iamquerying #YA #indigenous.

Wild horses in Salt River, in Arizona. I have walked the trail and passed the horses, even been on my inner tube and had them swim past me. Nothing compared to getting as close as possible to nature.

Partial manuscript rejection from a very nice agent I would query again. She left detailed comments. I am only posting the good stuff. Ha! But really, the criticism was stuff easy to fix.

"An otherworldly energy filled the air, the kind that floated over graveyards at dusk and lingered after thunderstorms. It mixed with the scent of desert sage,and drifted into the tiny trailer, the earthy fragrance clinging to her skin and clothes."

I'm just gonna put this here. It's a wikipedia A1 or wherever explication of spirit journey. So ya. It might seem like my book is portal. But it's not. Also told I couldn't have an animal character cuz that was anthropomorphic. Nope. That's my culture. Nature and animals are guides

We continue to have private insurance because we live in an Oligarchy. Period. Their propaganda artists have convinced the masses that medicare-for-all would lead to Communism. Interestingly enough, we have a socialized police force so that the elite have their property and positions protected.

My brother. He died on this day, Dec 1st. Years ago. Dec 1st is always hard for me. Here he is in the woods. Like me, he loved nature. He was a Vegan from age 12. He used to carry bugs outside that he found in the house. A beautiful person.

Bagheera. Rescued off the street. There wasn't an inch on him without a cut or a scab. Unfixed male cats don't live long outside. He is so spoiled now.

We really need to start respecting mother earth and nature. I am half PiiPaash on my father's side. I definitely inherited this love of animals and nature.

#Kidlit4Ceasefire #writerscommunity. Just received my anthology from the auction. Can't wait to dig into The House Where Death Lives, edited by @alexbrownwrites.bsky.social

Fellow writers, I present the editor du jour, Milady Marmalade. I would be lost without her ability to ruthlessly cut unneeded scenes. She insists this one must go! #writerscommunity #iamqueryong #cats

This immediately sprung to mind. The Sonderkommandos in the Nazi Concentration Camps were Jewish prisoners tasked with killing and gassing other Jewish prisoners, under threat of death. So now, writers are tasked with killing off writers, literature and arts, under duress, to pay the mortgage

I would like to introduce two of my seven ( yes, seven) cats to 💙 Blue Sky. Meet Bella and Bagheera.

Here's a picture of Bagheera and Bella. I spent the day snuggling with them and vegging out, watching movies.
