Snickering alert! I've just read this out loud to my husband after he kept looking at me curiously as I laughed and read it the first time around.
This woman's wonderful story reminded me of some 'free range' moments in my children's younger years, and now they're doing the same with their four children. Good advice about how to encourage unstructured playtime, too.

Everyone who is good at something has a trail of mistakes in their wake. Open source means sharing the learning experience with others.
I created a debate technique (or maybe it was already invented), when I used to mass debate. It's called "Creating Goalposts." which is a set in stone technique for what would change your view. Essentially removing the need for debate.
Let's say for example, Sun Screen is more likely to cause skin cancer than sun burn.
My goalpost here where I am already pro-sunscreen, is to show demonstrable evidence that sunscreen is more likely to cause skin cancer, over no sun protection at all.
This does a few things.
1. It sets an immovable goal post (Common problem in debates is moving the goal post)
2. This gets the debatee to think about their own views. At least that's an intended effect.
3. This becomes both an honest and unbiased way of debating.
Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this though. This thought came about because of hearing what a controversial metal singer has been saying, and how I would address the said controversy.

Small side note, librarian/book reviewer peeve: if you are promoting your book, don't just send a flyer full of praising blurbs. Send a damn description of what the book is actually about so I know if I want to consider it or not.

I finished the Solo Game Master's Guide by Geek Gamers.
It's an excellent resource for solo game masters (e.g. anyone who's playing a solo role-playing game). Yes, it has oracles and tables you can use as inspiration, but those are secondary. The focus of the book is really on how to keep your character's story moving forward and how to NOT rely on dice and random tables to tell a story. That leads to dead ends and uninspired stories.
A huge challenge I found when writing : weak adverbs

The photos below are my kitty & her pawdiwork handiwork. Odette & I both ADORE my desk chair. It is a solid, wooden affair with a rocker base like a rocking chair. The trouble is, Miss Itty Odette's nickname came up with the delightful practice of flipping her little body round-and-round the back of the chair, hanging upside down... until it rocks backward &... well... as you can see, it eventually broke. We're not sure how to repair it or what sort of handyperson to seek out for such repairs. Any help or suggestions to get past the destruction Do I need a new chair... I'll post additional photos if needed... Thank y'all in advance.
