Take heart — people are in the streets. Chicago marched through the Loop demanding accountability. You can’t bully the world into peace. You can’t terrorize people in the name of humanity.

I’m donating all Feb royalties to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. SILENT CREEK and PIKE ISLAND are Kindle Monthly Deals this month so it’s a cheap way to help. 🖕🧊 GTFO

Just been reliably informed that my copy of The Beatles Abbey Road album is a fake. Can’t believe I never noticed the mistake before.

So lovely!!

The shining sea crested with rock formations and rays of light.

Taken recently on the island of Jersey. I had three wonder-filled days there.

Sometimes knowing a place exists is as important as getting to be there always.

Best wishes for the words, wherever they place you.

The conversation on Threads

Dystopian novel in which humans slowly replace all their furniture with furniture for their cats, which the cats totally ignore as their humans sit, eat, and sleep on the floor.

A forest scene with tall tree trunks standing close together, viewed through a soft, dark foreground formed by out-of-focus moss or vegetation. Diffused light filters through light fog or haze, creating a bright background behind the trees. A small cluster of remaining autumn leaves is visible between the trunks. The forest floor is covered with fallen leaves, and muted tones of green, brown, and pale white dominate the scene, emphasizing depth, vertical lines, and a quiet, atmospheric woodland setting.

Start with what you have. Writing rears its head during various stages like the beginning, and nobody gets that except for anothr creative in the trenches. Keep going, check in with your pcp and don’t be afraid of starting small. I’m still starting small at my age…you seriously do got this!🏄‍♀️

I get this, i honestly do. Maybe for today try thinking of writing as sculpting, with lots and lots of tweaking, un/doing and refining, turning the wheel to see all sides. It’s never straight line for me. 2500 words means you’re onto something! You got this 🫶❤️🙏
