Often, I'll skip to a part I'm excited about writing and then go back and fill the rest in when my level of excitement has peaked again, so it doesn't *feel* like I'm not excited to write the parts in between the bits I'm *actually* excited to write about.(less)

Throughout the years, I've researched the Dust Bowl, the Amish community, desertification, how a battery works, what order one loses one's senses while dying, Houston in the 1970s, and forensics as taught in high school forensics classes. Will this serve me in a practical way in the future? Probably not. Will it make me interesting at parties? Definitely. (less)

Kate Pentecost answered a question about Elysium Girls:
Elysium Girls by Kate Pentecost
No F words! No sex scenes! But it does allude to molestation (offscreen) and there are some damns, hells and shits, as well as some equal level cursing in Spanish.

"Omg THIS BOOK. One of my favorites I've read, no questions asked. This book felt very different to anything I've read before and I grew extremely attached to the characters and their journeys of growth and selflessness.
