ATM I feel stranded on ice… hoping that’ll get better once stitches come out. Did at least finally get one sticky fight scene roughed. Brain currently in Nope mode. Will try to do research on other things in the meantime.

Not like I’ve got some kind of a right to know even that*, but now I’m worrying at you…..
* was able to mine some of your comments on boundaries to give my mom more ammo vs over-familiar-for-manipulation-purposes folks, so MUCH on my mind. She’s dealing with some folks who think that because her knees are broken, her brain stopped working….
Eh. Hopefully just precautionary thing. But stitches = overall body inflammation, and I have a serious problem with that ALREADY, because allergies and long-term stress -> other complicated problems you’d rather not hear the details of.
Plus I ate a piece of coconut candy yesterday and have been forcibly reminded nope, not my imagination, no matter how much I love Mounds-type candies, coconut does not like me.
And this in the middle of carbs seriously not liking me. Grump, whine, whimper. Meh.
But fight scene got roughed. This is good. Because hopefully, with “okay, this is everything that happened in book 1 established”, the bunnies are more willing to gnaw on book 2.
…Honestly can’t blame them. The beatdown just handed to a secondary villain means they’re going to be after REVENGE in book 2. Somehow.
And go for it on the ammo! Body not behaving definitely does not mean mind is not. *Pbbbt at all of them.*

I’ll just say the whole idea of writing a trilogy is terrifying – too much to contemplate! So trying to fool the plotbunnies by telling them it’s just “the next story”.
Interdimensional travel is full of dangers that can be difficult to predict, but there are signs to watch out for. Owls are especially helpful for savvy explorers. In our own universe, they ask, “Who?” You can tell a parallel world is perilous when you hear an owl ask, “Why?”
:hides screen from ten year old owl fanatic:
Her favorite breed goes “Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you all?”
…when you watch the videos on youtube, or listen to the bird books, that really is a great way to identify them.
I’ve only come across singletons. There’s a Snowy Owl that hangs around the mouth of the river every winter. It will lurk around the parking lot of our riverside plant, so twice I’ve been about 4 feet away from it, and it is rather big.
That is beyond cute. If he wants to be a duck, he can be a durk. Same with you. How is your GFM access going? Also, don’t forget to check your blog contributions. There should be some $ there as well.
I object to this perpetuation of stereotypes. It is just the attitude that decrees that owls that enjoy swimming must be ducks that discourages many owls from the healthful and enjoyable activity.
one of the locals was seen swimming like that. No word on what it caught (we got Salmon, Lake Trout, and Sturgeon, and the occasional walleye that would be too big for one)
…at least you’re cute, gosh darn it to heck.

Not needed. They can see in the dark, and they have their own little pitchforks at the ends of their legs.
