Sometimes I come up with ideas right before I fall asleep and scrawl them down so the world isn’t deprived of my unfettered genius.
Who wants to hear about the Little Boy and His Fairy God-Bear?
Post
It’s late, I’m exhausted, and good luck, everyone! You’re wonderful people!
Kudos
Someone read the most recent chapter of the Nine and liked it. Thank you!
Ages
Of all the times to be stuck indoors during a pandemic, one where video games, conference calls, and video meetings are commonplace is the best of difficult options.
We have no options regarding our times, but lots of them regarding our responses to it. And video games are pretty nice.
The Nine
I am not trying to do two updates a week this time.
Interior
The interior of Mara and the trolls is complete.
I’m tentatively setting a publication date of Friday, May 15th, for the paperback version with an ebook soon to follow.
This is happening.

Good work, sidewalk chalk people. Draw on stuff! I only get out once a day, if that, and have to avoid people when I do, but the sidewalk drawing is a welcome bit of color. Keep doing it!
Secrets
If there’s a secret to success, it might be: “Devote all your energy to that which you can change, and don’t worry about that you can’t.”
It could also be: “Work really hard.”
Is a secret a secret if someone knows it and refuses to believe?
Cover for Mara and the Trolls
The cover is done. 
The layout is being done by Jim, at jaad.com, and the trolls were drawn by Fergal O’Connor. His information is on the credits page.
Posting
I understand now why people Instagram pictures of their food. I’m really trying to post every day, as determined by sleeps, but I just don’t have much to say!
I just sent in corrections on the second proof of Mara and the Trolls, and hopefully this is it! It really looks good.
There’s a subtlety about FFTs I’m missing, and I’m packing on the surface around it.
Denver is lovely this time of year.
6:04/29:33/17:39 for 53:16 total. Added a set of assistance and increased pushups by 1.
Good luck, everyone!
