Back to my umpteenth re-read through The Fellowship of the Ring. I should be on the edge of the Old Forest by the time I turn in for bed tonight. #LOTR #Tolkien

It's just now hitting me how immense an undertaking I've gotten myself into with this epic fantasy novel series. I'm a naturally slow writer and I worry that with revisions and all it will be years before any of you get to see this stuff.

I absolutely adore these Mssozoic fauna reimagined as medieval bestiary critters!

Someone told my aunt that these would never sell!! Can you believe that?!

I hit and exceeded my word-count goal for today!!

My aunt made these beautiful handmade cards!!! Should she sell them on etsy? Would you buy one??

I wrote another 400 words of my fantasy WIP this afternoon. Just 160 words more and I'll be caught up on my goals!

I've been trying to figure out how people can help with The Project.
Pray that the parishes I emailed would respond next week.
Pray I can secure a few displays for May-Oct.
Pray that I would be open to where the Lord will send me.
Pray the the Lord sends me forth soon.

'The bots are back in town!' ('The bots are back in town!')

There are days when I sympathize deeply with a man like Thomas Merton who chose to retreat to a monastery in the wilderness. Today is one of those days.

During this month of May, may we entrust to the Blessed Virgin Mary our personal and family matters, as well as the suffering of those who fall victim to war. Let us #PrayTogether for the Church, all nations, and for peace in Ukraine and the Middle East.
