Inspiration is everything in an artists work! Just wait until you feel it within you, let the inspiration do the writing, don't force it.

I meant more literally getting a pencil and finding my notebook . The current scene is already living rent free in my head, I just need to actually write it out

Oof, I'd probably get a involuntary vacation from here if I shared them.

I like writing romances, even if I am wildly inexperienced in that whole field of thought . And if course because 90% of the real worlnis boring, most are Supernatural and/or medival. This current story is about a werewolf king and a former prince faerie

Ok. I really don't want to start a new thread about this in the "pests" forum because I don't know if I need to go full-on freakazoid so I'm posting here first hoping someone will talk me off the _burn-the-whole-coop-down_ ledge:

Sooooo, I found a SINGLE tiny white bug on an egg today. I check my girls, the coop, and eggs *frequently* for signs of mites/lice (no signs ever) and this particular bug did not look like any kind of fowl mite or lice that I've seen in pictures. I thoroughly inspected the nest boxes and nesting pads, wearing a head lamp and everything, and didn't see anything moving about, but I'm still freaked.

Is it wise to take a "wait and see approach" (and just be even more vigilant over the next few days checking), or do I need to torch the place immediately (and by "torch" I mean deep clean the coop, and treat it and birds with permetherin? Dealing with mites/lice pretty much my worst chicken-keeping nightmare. Help me, please.

Do you happen to have any photos of said bug?

One bug doesn't mean an infestation thankfully. And unless you see the birds developing issues, my personal opinion is to wait and see.
I wrote an article on the most common poultry bugs, look at the photos and see if your bug looks like any of these...
