My first overwintered black swallowtail appeared yesterday despite me trying to keep them cold. The temps are so up-down and it's too early to pop out. Hope you don't go hungry out there little guy. #butterflies #springtime

I'm not at all Irish but accidentally wore green today, then remembered to make corned beef & cabbage and Irish soda bread (breadmaker). Somehow I don't feel right making this favored meal any other time... tradition can be restrictive. #traditions #StPatricksDay

My dear relative who is barely eating and has only weeks to live is enjoying the butter cookies I made using her self-rising flour by mistake. A little salty, but just happy they make her happy. #caregiving #bakingmistake

On #InternationalWomensDay I think of my mom who survived WWII, married the "enemy," and started a new life in a strange land. Did not know much of her early years until I sat with her to write her memoir. Write the stories! #history #lifewriting

Silence is consent. "Our voices will not free the people that are suffering from their situation. But it’ll make it harder for their oppressors to hide their cruelty." #writingcommunity #history #writethestories

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Remember the victims, and do not repeat the silence that implies consent. Do not let lies blind you from seeing. It didn't suddenly happen one day... it took time to groom the people. #history #holocaust #oppression #murder

Determine If Your Book Is Ready With a Manuscript Evaluation A manuscript evaluation can help you determine if your manuscript is ready for querying or self-publication and how it can be strengthened.

You’ve worked endless hours #writing and #revising your manuscript. You’re so close to the project that it can be hard to know when your #book is ready to #query to literary agents or #selfpublish.

A manuscript evaluation can help.

For most author's it's not worth the big $$$$ to hire a publicist, OTOH most authors fail at marketing. However, it's long-tail marketing so you don't have to be everything, everywhere, all at once. #writingcommunity #authors #bookmarketing
