My laptop died last week. And, unfortunately, I am unable to afford to replace it at this time. Luckily my manuscript is backed up but it was more than just my work computer, it was what kept me sane. 😂🤣😭 #FML

When people lie to him. Having spent his late adolescence preparing to follow in his surrogate father's footsteps, and his training from before his amnesia, and the years dedicated to the sheriff's office and being a private eye, he has developed the ability to read and know when someone is lying.

Depends on the moment, he's been trained in firearms since he was a kid, how to hunt and track, mountain climbing, and is now learning magic.

Not my main character, but his girlfriend's favorite book is IT by Stephen King. There is a scene where Dameon is recovering and Mellissa is reading it while sitting by his bedside.

Dameon loves his girlfriend's homemade meatloaf. A recipe passed down through her mother, that goes back generations.

Dameon has a little coffee shop named The Golden Pot, where he likes to sit and "people watch." It's run by a quirky Irish fella named Quinn O’Shea.

MMC - Ashley Dameon Hayes, anytime he says or thinks the word "fuck", he crosses himself as an act of contrition. FMC - Mellissa Renee Jorgenson, she oddly enjoys her work as a crime scene cleaner.

Not the MAIN character, but his girlfriend. She does taxidermy. The only thing she picked up from her father that she doesn't hate.

Dameon has a pair of steampunk styled, dark framed, and purple lensed sunglasses as his go to shades.

Dameon, a man of Irish descent, has a head full of vibrant, curly crimson hair that is accentuated by the sharp contrast of his penetrating emerald green eyes. He is often dressed in a dark collared shirt, layered with a grey button-down vest and black pressed slacks.

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.

At this point it’s been said in a hundred different ways, so I think people are being intentional about not getting it.

I keep hearing that you can see who people have blocked on here, but I have yet to actually see it... Am I missing something, or was that untrue?

When you swear on the souls of your sainted ancestors that you sent a clean version of your manuscript to your copy editor... ...then you open the edited copy. Sigh. #writers #editing

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...
