LHC #188: "How to Future" by Scott Smith with Madeline Ashby.  Hard copy. Maybe I wasn't the right audience for this; I found it maddeningly vague. Read too much like a business book. I might have too many strong opinions to be a good futurist.  LHC #189: "Bright Eyed" by RM Vaughan. eBook. Easy read. I totally enjoyed this.  LHC #190: "The future of another timeline" by Analee Newitz. Audio book, and rightly so, because there was a song! It took about 90 minutes to have a sympathetic male character. The characters will stick with me though, it was very good.  LHC #191: "From cradle to stage" by Virginia Hanlon Grohl (Dave Grohl's mother). eBook. She's a delightful writer. I loved this book. I loved the stories about moms of adults who aren't done with their lives, the treatment of the music industry not as a soap opera, but as people who are passionate about music, not about being famous. 

  Wind/Water/Salt Chapters 39-51:  Still n eed to take up comments and revise.  Persephone  (probably not its real name): Finished rewriting the the scenes near the ending. Much better now. Now I just need to write most of the Lindsay storyline. The boy asked to read it when it's done, and I said it might never be, which might have been too honest. I think I can finish it.  Short Stories:  I had to put something on OWW, so I forced myself to finish reading this and taking out the really obvious problems. This took about 10 hours longer than I expected.  Critted  9  Got back  4  I need to keep putting things up for review! I had to reorganize my time a little bit to work on my own stuff and not just other people's. Which was a net good.  Submissions  0  Out there  1  Rejects  0 Knitting I Yam pullover  (self). Done.
