All the self-doubt / imposter-syndrome / exhausting late nights / deadline worries / major revisions are worth it. Keep writing. Get your stories out into the world. Don't let anything stop you.

Cool! Congrats, Brandon!
Good morning, creatives! I'm late to the writing party this morning, but I'm here! Coffee is on!

Indeed. It's courting season!
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
Good morning, creatives! May the muse be with you!

Here, too. On my son's 2nd birthday, it snowed. His birthday is on May 5th! That's Minnesota.
Congrats!
Nope. Normal, intelligent people are harder to control.

Good morning, creatives! May you find something to laugh about today. Happy writing.
You've heard of the fox in the henhouse, right? Well, here's the cat in the birdhouse.

I'm just glad my car was in the garage! All is well, but I can't speak for the roof shingles!
'waive' vs. 'wave:'
Waive: refrain from insisting on or using (a right or claim): surrender your rights.
Wave: move one's hand or an object to and fro in greeting or as a signal. Ocean/lake waves.

Dang. Don't let the rejections get to you. It's no reflection on your story or your writing. Editors/agents chase market trends these days. Years ago, they were a lot more open to taking chances. Not so much today. Keep at it, because trends change!
Think about your final chapters when you go to bed. Lots of times, the answers will come to us while we dream!
We had storms yesterday, too. It hailed for quite a while. This is what is left from yesterday's hailstorm and strong winds.
Her influences are her best friend, who is also a victim of the inciting incident that brought them together, her two sons, and her close-knit extended family.
Yeah, good thing I have a son who puts hot sauce on EVERYTHING! He can have the rest.
OK, so I have to share... Yesterday, I went to our local grocery, which also has a prepared-food area with seating. The "hot chicken" was on sale. By hot, I thought they meant temperature. I bought a bucket. I was wrong. It meant spicy, which I don't 'do.' Sigh. Have a chuckle. It's on me.
True.
Good morning, creatives! I guess winter is back. It's 28°F this morning, and windy! Might we get snow?? Yuck. Good day to write, yeah? I have about 20K words to go to finish this puppy!

I'm a bit surprised to hear some folks claiming Dems will "never" do any of this. Dems have already impeached Trump twice, have made multiple criminal referrals, and are currently setting up a 25A commission. And House Dems have already introduced DOJ independence reforms that are quite good.
My silly dog doesn't chase balls. She steals slippers.
I have an agent, a great critique partner who is also a freelance editor, and I have a full roster of beta readers. Not looking to add to that.
Women's fiction with romantic elements. I've written contemporary, historical, and fantasy romances, and now I'm trying something new.
I hope all goes well!
Good morning, creatives! I have appointments today, so I won't get much writing done. Here we are at another weekend, though! Happy Friday!

It's my happy place.
We get those at the cabin frequently in early spring.
