So, I have roped myself into writing a series of ~40K word novellas for my LO to get her to read chapter books. Is that odd? They are the adventures of Marshmallow Bear and Floppy Bunny. I imagine this is a thing.
Sound legit?

The feeling of using Autocrit to analyze your novels and understanding that they don't suck.

You get insane amounts of feedback and information from this tool. It's like having a board of Ivy League beta readers.

My daughter is now part of the book cover design process. It has worked pretty well.

My daughter is a cat. I don't mean I'm a furbaby parent, I mean she loves empty boxes more than toys, and gets in front of me every time I open the fridge, immediately, from any potential point on Earth.
She also has cattitude. I haven't tested catnip yet.

I am considering building a wiki for my works and characters. I think it will help me and the reading audience keep things straight and help connect and entertain folks.
One of my friends has done this and it looks good.
Does it make sense?

Not that anyone cares, but my aunt gave me a Turtle Records gift coin as a kid. I could have gotten Van Halen. I chose this. No regerts, as the silly people say.

From the bird:
QT with 5 weird facts about you:
1. I hiked the Appalachian Trail
2. In the Army, I was always in room 313
3. Every company that fired me went out of business, or was bought.
4. Friday the 13th is always a good day for me.
5. I have been both a rabbi and a protestant pastor.

Today I have this, but I am fleshing out another novel I have been neglecting as well.

Today is International Men's Day. I told my cat, "This is gonna be great! People finally give a shit!"

Then we looked at each other. We went quiet.

Then we laughed and laughed.

Me: I had this cool idea about the day I spent in NYC.

Me: I'll make this a short story. Shit. Too much info. I'll make it a novella someday.

Me: Eh, I'll do it now. How long can it be?

Me: Dammit. Now it's a novel. Must write before December 1st so I can forget about it.

A paratrooper and a Marine enter a bathroom. They pick a urinal to do business. The paratrooper finishes, buttons up, and heads to the door.
"In the Corps, they teach us to wash our hands," the Marine says.
"In the Airborne, they teach us not to piss on them in the first place."
Semper Fi, boys.

In the last 6 months, things have gotten stupid. I went from good mobility to having the family concerned because I now look like I'm doing Tai Chi with a ghost every time I take off a shirt.
I don't remember this being on the menu of life.
It could still be worse, though.

I wake up in pain, like someone is driving a ten penny nail into my shoulder. I get my cup of coffee and try to let that pain melt away so I can get on with things.

In the meantime, I go on the blue bird, talk mass amounts of shit and make jokes.

Because I can. It's what I do.
