It seems like half my friends have kids graduating from something this week. It's absolutely wild. I knew these kids as babies. What are they doing graduating from medical school?

I have been informed that there is a picture of me at age 12 in a museum somewhere. I was wearing a vest that had been out of fashion for multiple decades. And now we need to plan a heist.

My Korean is not good enough to explain that, yes, something is numb, but it's the muscles around my eyes and not my teeth. This is awkward at the dentist.

I need to leave in 30 minutes for my first meeting. What can I actually get done in 30 minutes?

In other new news, a local coffee shop is offering a Guinness Cream Latte with cream made from beer and butter. There's a helpful label in multiple languages telling you this contains alcohol. Drink at your own risk, I guess.

FB has decided what I really want is an ad from a scammer about how to sell thousands of books every day without ever writing a book!

My response is not fit for print or those with weak hearts.

My books are listed here if you would like to support a real author: https://books2read.com/ap/nED5kR/Liana-Brooks

It only took me until E10 to realize #BlossomsInAdversity is playing off the family name, Hua (meaning Flower). #Cdrama

It's time for breakfast and writing. Let's see what kind of word count I can get in an hour.

People ask what I like to write on and I usually use my desktop with a waterproof Logitech keyboard. It clicks and clacks, but it also can get washed in the sink and fully submerged.

The formal name is Tom's Farm Starlight Pop-Pop (Bang-Bang) Almonds.

Should you ever come across Pang-Pang Almonds (almonds with a yogurt coating and poprocks), you should try them. They are my editing snack along with a late orange that's almost out of season.

#LianaEdits #SnackTime

- 2k written/edited in Cryptid
- Meemaw's lung diagnosis is probably cancer, not fungal, but she declined a biopsy
- time to run to meetings

This Wednesday feels very Monday-ish.

COMPUTER PEOPLE!
In recent weeks my mouse has been acting up. It's not highlighting things when I click and hold. It's not tracking well. The problems are most noticeable on social media sites and in Word.
I've changed the batteries, cleaned, checked the USB. What am I missing?

If Cryptids aren't your cuppa tea, consider an evening with Chicago's hottest villain.

Everything was so crisp, clean, and bright that it practically begged for the walls to start oozing blood. Seriously, no one really had lace curtains with butterflies on their summer-themed Christmas tree unless they were hiding evil ghosts in the attic.

Anyone from the Sacramento area want to tell me what you can see driving north on 5 over the river?

A smart man would have bowed out of this fight.

Adam stepped forward, ready to do his three rounds in the ring.

Do you ever write a character so annoying you want to set them on fire in the scene where you introduce them? I have.

#AmWriting

I went out, mentally arranging my invisible armor. Nothing said could hurt me. Fury was the mind killer. I would remain calm. I would smile. I would praise these people and win them to my cause because murder was still illegal, even if you were really, really angry.
