#WIPSnips 2/22 MONEY “There’s one more thing we need to get from the house.” “What’s that, Abigail?” said Aubrey. He scratched his chin, mentally going over the inventory of things they had taken from the house. “Money,” she said. “There’s a box father kept his money in. Under their bed.”

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like -check them out regularly at the library -request the library order them if they don’t have them -buy them -start or support banned book clubs -organize a banned book kids story time A real shame

#writinglifemonthy 2/18 What show would my MC binge? Not having TV in the 18th century, TV would probably be very confusing for my MC. I suppose he would connect most closely to Bridgerton in time and costuming, but not in manner or action. Maybe he'd like the DIY channels as well.

“Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.” - Toni Morrison, born OTD 1931

#WIPSnips 2/16 GLIMMER The earliest known use of the noun glimmer is in the late 1600s. OED's earliest evidence for glimmer is from 1683, in a translation by John Pettus, natural philosopher and politician. But, alas, my colonists in my story used the word nary a time.
