Here's the latest attack on abortion rights. How about a hospital legally allowed to let a woman die rather than perform an emergency abortion? So we let two die rather than one. Lovely. Not.

And I was going to say something cheery about editing Fire Sanctuary to get it to my copy editor, and swapping off with reading The Introvert Advantage, a fascinating book I wish someone had told me about when it came out. Recommended for anyone who likes interesting non-fiction, because introverts are estimated to be 25% of the population. So they not only need to know how to best utilize their talents for themselves and their work -- their family, friends, and employers need to understand "Oh! That's why they do XXX!"

Back to the editing. So how's your day going?
