The Madness of Now
Picture a fork.
Now imagine that the fork has for some reason entered the National Discourse.
Initial News Story: There is a fork.
Response From Fox News: The liberal mainstream media is reporting a fork, but is it? Or is it a spoon?
(Five minutes later) Trump’s Twitter: Very wrong failing media talking about Trump and fork… everyone knows that’s a spoon. Enjoy!

Cheers, Mark!

Cheers, Mark! It was good meeting you at the lighthouse. Good luck with the book!

It was nice to see you all as well.
The protagonist in Whisperer... I don't think I intended her to be under the influence during the time period covered in the book. Sleep deprived, certainly, but while I discussed some of her past drug use, that was mostly for the purpose (along with the sleep deprivation) of establishing her as an unreliable narrator.
Welcome to Goodreads!
And good luck with the writing. My best advice is keep at it. It doesn't always make me happy, but I usually feel less crappy if I write than if I don't.
Cheers and I hope you all have a good rest of summer too!
