I'm so grateful for everyone's support of my writing career and how people have enjoyed Precisely Terminated. I hope that when Noble Imposter is released, you all will enjoy it just as much!



And here's a pair of socks.




People seem to enjoy seeing the socks I wear, so I'll keep posting pictures of them until someone objects. :)    I rather like this pair. They're very bright (brighter than the picture shows).  I wore (and took this picture) yesterday, but didn't get a chance to post this blog until now.

Here's a picture of my blanket.


Now this isn't just any blanket, mind you. At my house this is referred to as 'The duck blanket'. For reasons I'm sure you can surmise. ;)

This blanket is with me when I do most of my writing. It is very heavy, with a furry feel to it, and I like to spread it over my lap as I write. It protects my knees from my laptop. See, when I write, normally I sit cross legged on my with my laptop on my knees--It seems to be the most efficient writing posture for me.

Since I use this blanket while writing, I thought I'd show it to you. It's 21 years old and still holding strong-no holes or anything. One of the ducklings did try to detach itself from the blanket late last year, but I reattached it, I don't think it would have liked being separated from the others. ;)
