Never ask that to a novelist, we’re trained to think of worst case scenarios. (2x01 deleted scene)

OMG YES!! My minions don’t understand why I randomly freak out a certain stuff they do. That’s because I’ve envisioned eleventy million things that have gone badly in five seconds. 

I always think if the worst case scenario, that way happy when anything other happens! guess I was born to be a writer!

The leaves are budding across the land
 on the ash and oak and hawthorn trees.
Magic rises around us in the forest
and the hedges are filled with laughter and love.

 Blessed Beltane and Merry May Day!
May you feel Love, Joy and youthful exuberance!
 Dance..Sing….Be Merry!!

When the Cullen-Harrison Act went into effect in 1933 on this day, thirsty customers could buy a beer that was 3.2 % alcohol by weight instead of the “near beer” they had suffered with all through Prohibition. The public lined up on “New Beer’s Eve” at breweries in 20 states and Washington, DC, and purchased 1.5 million barrels. April 7th has remained an unofficial holiday celebrating beer in the U.S.

Ever notice how many authors post pictures of cute cats, dogs, and other animals? Crazy cat ladies in training? lol Or perhaps, subconsciously, boosting their creativity and focus. It seems looking at cuteness for a few minutes sharpens your focus, boosts productivity and improves fine motor skills (not so many typos)  Their reasoning is seeing these animals lights up the area of the brain that makes you want to take care of them and makes all your senses more acute!
