Hi. I love you. (sound up)

The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

I made it through my third draft yesterday!!! I cut over 10,000 words from my rough draft. It's a strange evening not having a chapter to chew on. Looking forward to several nights of wine, reading, and hopefully much deeper sleep.😎#amediting #WritingCommunity

Our universe is impossibly vast. NASA Webb Telescope took a look at a newly forming star 460 light-years away. The thin black line at the center of the fiery 'wings' is a planetary disk bigger than our solar system. It contains material from which stars and planets form.

Think...small✨ Hubble captured this view of a tiny fraction of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy. It's one of our nearest neighbors, ''only'' about 200,000 light-years away. go.nasa.gov/3HjOuvL

#OTD in 2011, we discovered Kepler-20e, the first planet beyond our solar system smaller than Earth. In all, we've confirmed six exoplanets in the system orbiting a Sun-like star more than 900 light-years from Earth. exoplanets.nasa.gov/resources/91/k…

I'm getting some editing done before the holidays kick in. All I want for Christmas is my WIP cut down to 90,000 words. Still 6,000 words to go.... 😉#amwriting #amediting

Well, I'm taking the plunge. I've started querying my YA Contemporary Fantasy. So far my beta readers like it. I let my query letter germinate for a couple months too. But... I'm sill nervous.🥴 #amwritingfiction #amwriting #amquerying #shamelessselfpromo #writerslife

A rural 4-Her brings a triceratops to the county fair. As 15-year-old Steve trains the dinosaur to lead, pose, and enjoy baths, he fights militant Creationists and gains new BIPOC friends from the city. He also has to clean out lots of poop. #YA #CON #F #KidLitPit

I read through the first chapters of a novel I wrote a couple years ago. Boring! I love the plot and the main character though, so I'm scheming about ways to get rid of those (yawn) opening chapters. #writerscommunity #amediting
