Such a strong piece, Avitus. Timeless.

Double congratulations Kik!

Hope you're feeling joyful today!

I love this idea because I am not feeling joyful these days. But I will try! 💙

Congratulations Dawn, that's phenomenal!! 💙

Invisible Lines By Barbara Diggs And here they go again, the family insisting that she accompany them to the beach this summer because Walt says she spends far too much time sunk in her old corduroy La-Z-Boy watch…

“...they don’t understand that the whole time her eyes will be jumping around like sandflies, searching for the line in the ocean, the line in the sand, the line in God’s blue sky, just like she had to when...”

‘…she spends far too much time sunk in her old corduroy La-Z-Boy watching Matlock and Murder She Wrote and Colombo with all the shades drawn, not getting a lick of sunlight…’

So much to say about yesterday @saloneurope.bsky.social but above all - it couldn't have happened without our Management Committee.

Congratulations Joshua! Looking forward to reading your story!

It was such a pleasure to meet up with fellow writer @bdiggswrites.bsky.social during her recent trip to Berlin! Love the Czech Embassy in the background!

Yes, it was great - so much fun meeting writers IRL!

✨EWS IRL✨

One of the most wonderful things about EWS is the real-life connections we’re making among writers across Europe

Here’s Assistant Director @bdiggswrites.bsky.social and @ruralunease.bsky.social, who was instrumental in planning our Berlin salon, meeting up in Berlin!

So excited to have a story in here! Can't wait to see it!

All the time. Maddening that AI is based on human writers and now we humans writers have to prove that our writing is not AI.

Oh my goodness, it gives me chills to hear it shouted out like that! Fabulous!

Love No Diggity. Funny, I had a theme song for when my dad died too, over 20 years ago. Goodnight Irene. And I feel the same way when I hear it even now, bereft and delighted. So well put Nancy...and it prompted me to listen to it and remember him. 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjOA...

We’re looking forward to planning more events with Paris LitUp—and to seeing some of the readers in Brussels in September.
