Do you need a sword or a hug?

My absolute favorite time to sneeze is when I'm going around a curve in a street covered in snow and ice, at night, with a car coming at me in the other lane.

Told my husband it was time for me to get up and start doing things, but it turned out that what I actually meant was time to sit down and write.

How hard is it to say “invading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal order”

I got 75% of the way through the first novel in a series and then started the second novel because that's what my brain kept insisting I think about. I know how the first one ends, so it can wait.

-how long is a naval space cruiser
-how many people are on an aircraft carrier
-how many people are in Marine basic training at one time
-if a spaceship is 1 kilometer long, how long would a running track around it be

If you journey into the depths of the WSJ offices, you can hear them crying in unison like that scene in Midsommar.

“There was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up. He must have been the first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we're doing the same thing, over and over, but we're got on damn thing the phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, someday we'll stop making the goddamn funeral pyres and jumping in the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember every generation.” ― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

I was researching quotes on phoenixes and came across this. SUPER poignant for today.

My current WIP. Every time I sit down, I have an absolute blast. Same with the one before it. I've never experienced that before. It's just been so fun!

When they left, she saw that there was a small gift shop beside the salon. “Do we have time to go in here?” “We have about thirty minutes.” Most of the store’s offerings were items like coffee mugs, tumblers, bags, and keychains with “Teodoro Esteban López Calderón Naval Base” and the Admiralty’s logo Clip from my novel CYBERNETIC. Work in progress.

Are there even keychains in the 26th century?
