Got a rejection yesterday, so I’m doing what I always do, my Rule of Fives: 5 minutes sulking, 5 hours writing, 5 eggs thrown at 5 random houses. The houses are not always random.

Rejections suck. Sorry, Greg. Nice way to handle one.

But maybe rejections are good actually because they five you an excuse to egg houses.

I just wish we could egg the right houses.

That’d take a lot of eggs.

That’s too bad. We need more Eekhout! I’m still waiting for a sequel to Norse Code. Thanks also for The Voyage of the Dogs. I read that during Covid with my fourth grade class. We had some tears and laughs. I still think of the ending when I see my neighbor’s Great Dane mix run.
