TIL that after King Midas’ golden curse was removed by washing his hands in a river, he became a hippy.

He followed Pan, lived off the land, wove flowers into his hair, and even attended a music festival.

My Favorite Suicidal Jokes I’m open about the fact that I was seriously depressed when my chronic illness set in. Twisted humor eased my worst thoughts when I thought I’d die a slow, painful death, ruining the lives of those ar...

I like suicide jokes. This is my blog about how they helped me through the hardest time in my life and how they influenced my first book.

As promised, here is my blog on #scams that target #authors. If it helps even one person, I have done my job. I am disgusted by the people perpetuating these. Stay safe out there.

Hi all. I'm writing a blog post about scams aimed at authors. If it can help even one person, my job is done.

If you are willing to share a story, sentiment, warning, or anything else, feel free to post it here or DM me anonymously. (I am not open to discussing anything else via DM.)

First Question of the Day
Did you get anything really good for Xmas?

Me: I got a carving knife and meat fork. It's the first time in years my F'd-up hand didn't hurt after slicing prime rib. (Oh, and I also got prime rib. 😀)

Seeing other authors succeed always helps me feel like I can achieve my goals. Their wins remind I can excel even if,
- The right words won't come,
- I fall behind my "schedule,"
- Life gets in the way of writing,
- Sales slump, or
- Health hinders my progress.

I can succeed.

I forgot to post last night's sunset here. I was grateful to be the passenger because it gave me time to enjoy it.
