Love an audiobook. Especially for a hefty read.

You deserve that kindness. You’re doing absolutely incredible work. For what it’s worth: I’m in awe! But wouldn’t be less in awe if you gave yourself some rest too

Sending you some good thoughts 🫂

“I still whisper questions,
listen for answers,
disagree.
Are both voices mine?”

This really touched something in me

Empty room w/ blue walls and hardwood floors. Dim. Some natural light streaming through uncovered window. Another window has blinds. Text overlay of my 100 word Microfiction: I haven't put you away. Stacked you on a shelf in a corner of life. Behind Mel, but in front of Dad. Haven't said was or would've been. You are. You will be. I still whisper questions, listen for answers, disagree. Are both voices mine? I don't look for you; I won't see you. If I try, something else supplants your image. Smudges your features, erases a line, dims your eyes. Instead, I cast off into the well of memory and seek you in the corner of my eye, where you remain unchanged day after day after day after day.

Hey, You

You’re still moving forward in a really steady way! It’s okay to rest and even more okay to give yourself grace.

lol uh huh. I need to sit down with my *new* ideas and stop twiddling my thumbs. But I just 🙃🙃

Oh absolutely! She lives really close, so I went by and then we sat around and talked for a long while 🍰💗

It made me emotional 🥹 such a sweet moment

I just imagined you starting with a seed and then that seed sprouting in a bunch of directions to make up the plant that is your story. Fun visual. It’s cool how one small thing can really explode for you !

I really really liked it. Didn’t take notes because my hands were busy, but I plan to go back and do so!

My mom called me this evening to come pick up some German chocolate cake that she baked.

Buying a house in my hometown was a good decision.

From title alone is pretty cool! What was one the titles?? 👀

😄😄😄

Thank you! It really has been 💗☺️

Now I’m sitting here wondering what the entity is doing to Grisira! Very intriguing, for sure.

Just taught a super ⚡️ PACKED ⚡️ yoga class, the sun is shining, and my allergies aren’t trying to kill me today.

Life is good!

Fair!
Like, I DO want to see everybody promote their stuff but I ALSO wanna see the pet photos and ramble posts about nothing important.

This thread is so funny to read 🤭

When I 1st started using Bluesky, naive me thought he was just being nice and offering resources lol. Then I realized the whole kit and kaboodle was off. I’m still getting spammy follows from time to time, lol

I like the forward thinking here with the “elevator pitch”. Premises should be strong. Especially if you’re writing for an audience and not just yourself. Good points here!

It's such a hoot. Enjoy 🍿

absolutely love this movie!

Congrats!! That's amazing 🤩

I couldn’t resist 🐱

“You make people feel included like it’s your special talent”
I sure do try 🥹💗

Whaaaat?? That’s wild to me lol. I love the way my partner smells! Like, it’s comforting? And I just figured that was like a chemistry thing couples experience. But I guess I never ran it past my friend group
