I don't have five things, so here, have four

[slipjig3]

1) Thing I didn't mention from the weekend is that I had my first ride in a Tesla, which...okay, look, I reeeeally wanted to hate it, to reassure myself with the meh of it all while thumbing my upturned nose at the Muskrat, but oh. my. god, is that a great car. It runs like silk on skin. It beeps at you when the light turns green. IT HAS A FRUNK. I didn't know I needed a frunk. I kinda need a frunk.

2) One of these days we're going to get up early enough for a morning walk and it will not, in fact, be raining.

3) Video production procrastination continues apace! [pause for applause] I did manage to write some voice-over copy while stuck at the office, and took a moment today to defibrillate the channel's social media accounts. That totally counts! Taking credit! Preening now!

4) And pardon me while I bury the lede, but one nice thing about creative procrastination is all the other things you get done: you know that novel that's been in the editing process for over a decade now?
EDITING.
IS.
FUCKING.
DONE.
This deserves a full post on its own, and it's going to get one because I'm going to need whoa-yikes quantities of help, but for now it feels...good? I think? Scary? Because Jesus on a moped, now what?

Eyal and I had a ride in a Tesla when we were in Miami in 2023. It wasn't bad! Miami traffic was bad, but that's a whole other story.

Keep on trucking with that novel! Yay! Find yourself beta-readers. (I already have engaged two on my current WIP, one of whom is NOT Eyal.)

Thank you! And thank you for the advice—I keep thinking it doesn't need beta readers because it's passed through so many hands already, but they've all been friends and acquaintances with a vested interest in keeping me happy. I'll start seeking one soon.
