I had no idea sand could be used to filter water to make it potable. McMillan was a “slow sand" filtration site (as opposed to rapid.) Water was filtered via a layer of biofilm that formed at the top layer of sand. The biofilm is a gelatinous layer of all kinds of living things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1555978022510-B0A14AWJSE9JD0X6FBZ0/plans+1902.jpeg Blog - The McMillan Sand Filtration Site From the original 1902 plans for the site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1555978013458-YZUK8ML9HZ2XVRHPEK4Z/1904.jpeg Blog - The McMillan Sand Filtration Site Sand storage bin— what I initially mistook for giant apiaries.

I kinda got a lot of the idea at once. I’ve always been interested in psychopaths but one of my main dyads had been floating around in my head for a while, one scene in particular. But by the time I posted this on Facebook (to a small group of writer friends) I had a fair amount of the first-draft plot figured out. (the plot changed fairly significantly over time.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610056612346-O5LBLMFN3Q881GTQ0O38/notebook.jpg Blog - Writer's Notebook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610057279625-DA3UJ770Z8QBK8Z2GTN7/map.jpg Blog - Writer's Notebook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610068777964-K6T7OQH8JGZQ2ZH3QECD/calendar.jpg Blog - Writer's Notebook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610115986644-U31FK5STPKXP6E3SVYC3/Screen+Shot+2021-01-07+at+4.19.14+PM.png Blog - Writer's Notebook https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610116022057-UXCG3616KPOBSW93ZRVH/16FBDB09-F194-4339-A655-B6BE37BB0FBA.png Blog - Writer's Notebook https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2021/2/6/nsmc-chapter-6-the-prisoners-dilemma monthly 0.5 2021-09-12 https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2019/3/31/five-strange-things-about-living-in-dc monthly 0.5 2021-09-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1555859830052-Z2GHGKP3Q21HJACXLR0J/593px-Toutorsky_Mansion.jpeg Blog - Five Strange Things About Living in DC Embassy of the Republic of the Congo (1) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610831605987-XCHS4LR3H96UYHVTVMD8/lincoln.jpg Blog - Five Strange Things About Living in DC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1555860076464-Y6ISDC6YO9OPQURVIHLJ/640px-Washington_DC_Botschaft_Kanada_Brunswyk_%282012%29.jpeg Blog - Five Strange Things About Living in DC Embassy of Canada (2) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1555860982284-NJZM3ST4JRPNYNCWUS1Q/220px-Washington%2C_D.C._license_plate%2C_2017.png Blog - Five Strange Things About Living in DC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1610831957372-3NZAF84FISZBEQQJF1A8/crazy+map.png Blog - Five Strange Things About Living in DC https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2020/12/19/nsmc-chapter-in-which-we-meet-the-mysterious-andre monthly 0.5 2021-09-09 https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2020/11/15/nsmc-chapter-2-in-which-nothing-happens monthly 0.5 2021-09-08 https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2019/4/7/where-did-the-idea-for-nsmc-come-from monthly 0.5 2021-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1555858530634-GDTD4HTXHOKHIR9ASQIV/agate-agate-stone-blue-geode-59847.jpg Blog - Where did the idea for Never Saw Me Coming come from? https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2021/8/11/a-month-till-pub-day-updates monthly 0.5 2021-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1628943751815-6MGYNYU7ZM664R88AFK5/Screen+Shot+2021-08-14+at+8.22.03+AM.png Blog - A month till pub day updates! - Make it stand out A panel discussion led by Nemerever.

These were traditionally piped with a pastry bag. I learned that the dough is pretty sensitive and will somewhat hold the shape of any irregularities when piping. The ripples and nubs you see came from the raw dough not being smooth and my not patting down the little bits that get left when you pull the tip of the piping bag away. They take longer than you think to bake, and you CAN’T open the oven to check on them. (I mean, you kind of can after they have done the majority of their puffing.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1543182975567-HX6BSN993MUIHFX8IG3D/IMG_3043.JPG Blog - Wish choux were here.. These were filled with chocolate pastry cream, which came out okay despite my messing up the recipe. (I put everything in at once, and was short an egg yolk). The cream did thicken up once it sat in the fridge long enough. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1543183353783-A9RS1NZHXS3HNI56JTOZ/IMG_3046.JPG Blog - Wish choux were here.. This is the exact same choux recipe, cooked on the same parchment and baking sheet. The one difference is that I experimented with using a disher instead of piping, because piping is a pain in the ass. The dough is substantially stickier than cookie dough, but a lot easier than piping. I pat them down more to soften the shape. Baked, I don’t think you can really tell the difference, and they tasted the same. https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/8/27/review-of-hbos-sharp-objects monthly 0.5 2018-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1535405550784-H8C6LOXCUUPCXKG3S7TI/sharp.jpeg Blog - Review of HBO's Sharp Objects (has spoilers) https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/8/24/review-of-blackkklansman monthly 0.5 2018-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1535145554637-V4PXDRB4MLAP8PYPRX7Q/blackkklansman-1.jpg Blog - Review of Blackkklansman https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/8/7/this-stupid-reality-tv-show-is-the-perfect-demonstration-of-what-is-wrong-with-non-minority-progressives monthly 0.5 2018-08-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1533678988951-TVAZ8NKMGA9FZ3VQY2CW/underwater.jpg Blog - This Stupid Reality TV Show Is The Perfect Demonstration of What Is Wrong with Non-Minority "Progressives." https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/8/5/is-my-ex-a-psychopath monthly 0.5 2018-08-06 https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/6/13/give-poldarks-george-warleggan-the-plot-he-deserves monthly 0.5 2019-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1530223188203-PU8H91EKLNWTI50M7XN3/ossie.jpg Blog - Give Poldark's George Warleggan the plot he deserves https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1530223188025-INBHF3RA7WYANZBQF4NH/MV5BMjAzMjkxMDQzM15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzIyMzY0Nw%40%40._V1_SX782_CR0%2C0%2C782%2C999_AL_.jpg Blog - Give Poldark's George Warleggan the plot he deserves https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/6/9/a-spoiler-ridden-review-of-hereditary monthly 0.5 2018-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1528573954404-86WOQF2CF42JUPET9S72/hereditary.jpeg Blog - A spoiler-ridden review of Hereditary https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1528575517935-2P9YHGPD4X58DUZSU4G0/black+phillip.jpg Blog - A spoiler-ridden review of Hereditary https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/6/4/morally-reprehensible monthly 0.5 2018-06-04 https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/5/28/review-of-picnic-at-hanging-rock monthly 0.5 2018-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1527550057895-NR7LNC7OWQ4FHLO1QCMV/pahr_samaraweaving_madeleinemadden_nataliedormer_lilysullivan_fxtl_fma_b.jpg Blog - Review of Picnic at Hanging Rock https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2018/5/23/writers-block-exercises monthly 0.5 2018-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1527112185209-JLP56MCAQQFNDM7MGFG5/design-desk-display-313690.jpg Blog - Writer's Block Exercises (1-10) https://www.verakurian.com/blog-native/2017/3/22/what-do-i-do-if-someone-says-my-pacing-is-off monthly 0.5 2018-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/556f97a2e4b02df4ffd4609d/1490223365345-F261B5CWI2IC7SMP0F7C/image-asset.jpeg Blog - What do I do if someone says my pacing is off?
