Quite the Life (and all in Times New Roman 10pt!)
In Episode 4 “To Feel”, Donaldson is trapped in a kitchen with a monster who is learning to have human emotions.
Or is the monster faking to lull Donaldson prior to attacking him?
Sabine Rossbach gives another fabulous reading in Episode 4, “To Feel”

Each year we welcome at least one new family of raccoons into our yard. I shared our abundance of waking raccoons in Early March Raccooning, when last year’s kits and parents woke up hungry and looking for food.
One young lass, Hyacinthe, has frequented us regularly and, as we’ve learned, has five healthy kits (vids to follow at some point).
We also suspect she’s one of last year’s kits as she showed no fear of me and graciously took food from my hand.
Say hello to Hyacinthe, all.
Susan Bell’s The artful edit should be required reading for anyone who writes and/or calls themselves an editor.
First, it is a how-to of the mind, not of the pen (or keyboard). You won’t find rules on punctuation or grammar (or if they’re in there, I didn’t notice).
What you will find is page after page of stunning insight into how editing and editorial minds work. Most authors I know read through their manuscripts at least once before submitting them for publication. I know what I look for during such reads and realize now I’m skimming the surface.
Bell explains different editing methodologies in wonderful detail. More than that, she shares how a variety of editors work, what’s in their heads while they edit, what they look for, their goals for manuscripts, and much more.
The artful edit is rife with examples (another major plus for me). Each example comes from the exchange between an author and their editor (of which she is one) and is detailed by the exchange itself. How did The Great Gatsby become great? What became of the editor who wanted to hem in Hemingway?
Bell’s bibliography is a prize in itself, a must reading list.

Sabine Rossbach gives another fabulous reading (I’m not saying that as marketing. I get chills from her interpretation of the work) in Episode 3, “Learn Chess, Yes”.
