Sagittarian Soloists
Sagittarius Singer Summary The most famous performers born between November 22 and December 21st have certain things in common. They are amazing performers in a very specialized sound and immediately stick out when paired with other musicians. They are born soloist who when forced to work within a group designed for other artists cannot succeed. That’s not to say that some of these artists haven’t tried to sing within groups that matched their era and genre of music, but the groups never truly worked until the songs were built around the Sagittarius among them.

Libra Truthseekers
If Childish Gambino, Halsey, Sting, Doja Cat, Ani Difranco, Eminem, Gwen Stefani, and Bruce Springsteen* were all at the same rock festival, it's hard to imagine a lot of overlap between their fans. They range from rockstars to rap gods to champions of the working class. Yet despite their differences there are a thread of similarities that are apparent in their personality and musical career.

Professional Appearance
The Drill Sergeants were particularly careful on this part of the climbing tower. The rope hung suspended over a twenty-foot drop into a net. My fly-away hair was desperately trying to escape the neatly wrapped bun in the Oklahoma wind. On my turn, I crossed my legs around the rope leaned my chest against it. Shifting my body hand over hand, I climbed across the gap.

A Detour Through Portland
I had the most interesting little detour on my way to the Oregon Convention center this past Spring. My husband and I have one car. Since I am the one predisposed to public transportation, when our schedules conflict, I take the metro/bus. So I took my route one morning to volunteer for the vaccine effort and got off the bus to switch to the metro. At the metro station there was a man talking to himself very loudly as he raided the train station's trash cans.

Bury Me Then Plant a Tree
Within the Philippines, deep in South Sulawesi, there is a grove of Tarra trees that have strange little patch marks going up and down their trunks. They look like a roof thatching carved into the side of the tree. Behind those patches is a morbid tradition that I find fascinating, disturbing, and beautiful all at once. This is something I discovered by accident and yet I cannot unlearn now that I know it. I am debating if I will adapt this idea into the novels, because it definitely fits my fantasy world’s religion. My fantasy world is not based on facts though. So here is my obscure truth and how I discovered it.

Hey There Sailor
Richard Corson opened the car door and shivered. The car's heat evaporated out into the dreary parking lot. He donned his blue camouflage patrol cap. He grunted; his black boot hit the pavement decorated with little frosted shapes. He drudged up the steps to the ugly government building his unit worked in.

Sorry Mom
My mother keeps telling me I should go back to college. I went to college directly after I graduated from high school. I loved my college experience. I loved having philosophical conversations in the hallway of my dorm room or deserted Dining facility at 3:00 in the morning. I loved working with my fellow engineering students racking our brains to figure out how we could incorporate the few skills we had as freshmen to impress our professor in a cumulative final project. That one credit class that was five times more work than the four credit classes I took that semester--combined. I learned so many skills and formed so many ideas about the person I was and the person I wanted to be.
