I'm STILL having phone calls about the insurance nightmare from water damage we found in June. Patience is thin, admittedly. But I get off the phone today and husband, listening in the background, says "when you get angry, your Philly accent goes extreme." Go Birds?

Ignorance of distance mechanics for the sake of plot is one of those things that I have irrational rage over in shows and movies 🙅

How we feel about going back to work tomorrow

Chillsubs, if you're not familiar. Great for finding ones that take the genre specifically.

Glass half empty: wallow in self pity after catching a nasty virus to finish out the summer Glass half full: being glued to a sofa provides inspiration to catch up on submissions.

I mean, it does end with the Judge doing something unholy in the bathroom.

Can you imagine if any other profession did this? "Yes, we know the sign out front says we sell ice cream but we don't actually, and we're too lazy to change the sign. Don't really care that you spent an hour to drive here."

I have been getting this a bunch lately. "I love this but I'm not doing memoir right now." It's like listing a job posting you have no intention of filling.

Genuine question for book agents: why list a genre in your submission options if you have no intention of representing it?

Right on time for August, Philly approaching full swamp mode today.

Every time we get a thunderstorm now, I'm extremely tense because all I can think about is the possibility of water damage. I can't decide if this makes me paranoid or mature.

That half green half purple floof is lovely

I'm hoping whoever does goes all-in and shows up drunk and syphilitic.

😭😭😭

Before and after. The shrinking of greens hits harder when you grow them yourself.
