I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo in a rush

Sorry, not much from this morning, lots of things at the day job.

Go to Family Tree Now and opt-out your address. (Grokked from Mur Lafferty)

Twelve writers on how they revise. It's a messy, grimy, stinking business. And it's so very important. Also note, people don't do it the same. YMMV, take what works, discard the rest (except keep it in mind because it might work the next time). (Grokked from Kelly Link)

"Scientists predict that a pair of stars in the constellation Cygnus will collide in 2022, give or take a year, creating an explosion in the night sky so bright that it will be visible to the naked eye."

"A dossier making explosive — but unverified — allegations that the Russian government has been 'cultivating, supporting and assisting' President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information about him has been circulating among elected officials, intelligence agents, and journalists for weeks." Here it comes… Just yesterday I tweeted this (as a part of my concern of what the Russians are really up to), that the conservatives are so cute that they don't think that Russia won't come after them. (Grokked from Xeni Jardin)

From CNN, "The allegations were presented in a two-page synopsis that was appended to a report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The allegations came, in part, from memos compiled by a former British intelligence operative, whose past work US intelligence officials consider credible. The FBI is investigating the credibility and accuracy of these allegations, which are based primarily on information from Russian sources, but has not confirmed many essential details in the memos about Mr. Trump." (Grokked from Fran Wilde)

Tweet of my heart: @StevenBrust Voice will get you through times of no plot better than plot will get you through times of no voice.
