Happy #nanowrimo2022 Day One! Clocked 637 words before 6:37am. Not my best start to the month, but most Tuesdays I'm still asleep at this time. #WritingCommunity #writerslife NaNoWriMo

So far today, I've received 3 rejection letters from this round of submissions. Happy to hear anything at all, and good motivation to produce new stuff for #NaNoWriMo. TY to nashville review for including some notes to help me improve the piece!

An Asimov reference to being “googled” in 1988.

Took a break from doomscrolling Chicago Election Twitter to write a little something about our beautiful and powerful lake. allybrisbin.medium.com/hubris-of-man-… #WritingCommunity #writerslife #LakeMichigan

Even though my voting strategy today is explicitly No White Men, I consider Pat Whalen is blocked by @libs_ofchicago et al. 🌻 my personal Santa Claus of Election Day (and all things Chicago gov).

Vallas concedes.
