Years ago, I did computer support, but I would tell people not to ask me for help with Windows because I hadn't used it. One day, I was talking to a friend, who was railing about Windows and how much it sucked, and I said, "If you say so. I haven't used it enough to know."
He looked at me wide-eyed. "You're not kidding! I thought you were just brushing people off!"
I've literally only ever used Windows a handful of times and I don't think I've ever used version 7 or newer.

I just got an email about a "Faculty Success Project." The administration wants to purchase a technology solution to make it easier to track our productive activity. The words "success" and "excellence" have been so overused that my knee-jerk reaction is always "bullshit." Especially true here.

#ScribesAndMakers Do you use spreadsheets to help in your process? If so, how do you use them, and what makes them better than other tools?
I use spreadsheets for timelines. I have a single timeline for all of my Revin's Heart and Lady Cecelia stories to keep events in order. I'm not sure it's the best tool for this purpose, but it's OK.
I also use spreadsheets in my writing business for tracking expenses, etc. It's good for that.
The @wss366 words are also maintained in a spreadsheet.

He looked at her and grinned. "Hungry, aren't you?" He cut a piece of steak and held it out. "Are you hungry enough to say, 'please'?"
Her pride wouldn't let her say it and she stood silently seething.
He popped the steak in his own mouth, then reached out with his bloody fingers. (3/4)
<p>One it was full, she carried it
One it was full, she carried it carefully up the narrow steps, her bare feet chilly on the cold stone. She returned to the dining room and held it out to him.
He finished chewing a mouthful of rare steak, then accepted the tankard and took another deep draught.
Her stomach rumbled. (2/4)

She stood by the table with her head down while he ate. He tipped his head back, draining the tankard.
"Fetch me another, wench," he said, holding it out without looking at her.
She accepted it silently and went down to the cellar to refill it from the cask. (1/4)

#ScribesAndMakers Show us a book cover you like. What makes it special?
I particularly liked the cover of *Rewriting the Rules* by Niki Lenhart. All of the Revin's Heart covers have two motifs: looking through something and an airship visible in the distance. In this one, Revin is looking out toward the pier in Candlemain harbor. We worked a long time to get this one right and I really liked how it turned out.

mention of alcohol
Our beloved sakura tree will be blooming soon and, for hanami, I usually get some sake to share with friends. With the proposed new 25% tariffs on Japan, we decided to go early and lay in supplies now. In addition to sake, someone wanted to get a bottle of Hatozaki (Japanese whisky finished in umeshu casks). To be honest, I've wanted to try it for years. It was a little pricey (OK. Very pricey.) But *very* smooth.
