Good evening from cold Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. It's 14 F right now. First, I want to apologize for not getting back here today. I've been working on Firestorm all day. I finished the first edit and revision a short while ago and have the completed wraparound cover for which I'm very thankful. I'm thankful I got a chapter fixed. It took all morning to fix the problem I completely missed when I wrote it. I got it done in time to play Canasta. I'm thankful for Canasta. My partner and I won both games. It was lots of fun. I'm thankful for a short shopping trip after Canasta and before I finished Firestorm. I'm thankful I have all my steps. It wasn't easy remembering I needed to get up and move every hour, but I got it done. Okay, that's my day. Focused on Firestorm. What are you thankful for today? Let me know in the comments below. The image is the cover for Firestorm produced by AI.

Greetings for the day ! Greetings for the publication of your new book ! I am thankful for the new opportunities for different kind of work at the workplace plus independence to try a few things differently! Plus good food and good family! 14 F is quite chilly from our standards. Here it is max of around 24 C and min of 10 C. So cold in the night and early morning. Glad to see you here after a long time ! So itbis just a temporary pass or a complete comeback?
