Iranian music teacher's farewell to his school 💔

This is who we have keeping our President in check.

They could stop him at any time. Just 4 republicans could also stop him.

They choose not to.

Vote every republican out of office this year!

Happy Monday #5amWritersClub. Your creative work makes the world more bearable. Onward!

I dunno if prologues and epilogues are part of the main story but I do know your publisher should pay you a separate fee and/or offer a contractually guaranteed budget if they expect you to market your own book because that’s not your job nor what your advance or royalties are for.

I loved this one. And the back cover has her posing at the long ago Olga store near my old stomping grounds.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

I am literally laughing out loud. This is the best take I've seen yet.

Decades later, looking at royalty statements, I can see that I was stupid to sign publishing contracts without the help of an agent or copyright lawyer. PAY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL HELP! Because you will definitely pay later.

GM #5amWritersClub. Outlining this next novel first in hopes of speeding up the current multi-year process.

Congratulations!

If talk therapy is free speech, can my therapist now suggest I swallow cyanide without repercussions?

Happy writing, #5amWritersClub. Look at us all, out here doing the hard thing!

The Everlasting, By Alix E. Harrow - Andrea Gabriel One of the most gorgeous fantasy books I've ever read. The Everlasting left me satiated, devastated, and surprised at every turn.

So, I loved this.

there is a concerted media campaign right now to pressure Dems to capitulate on DHS funding, and they are trying to push the narrative that the TSA shutdown is somehow Dems' responsibility. The reality is the Dems have been trying to keep TSA funded the entire time.

The aroma of fresh brew rises to meet a rhythmic, blinking cursor, both awaiting the spark of my wandering muse.

A new day, create your moments.

Good for you!

They keep it interesting!

As a US citizen, I beg you: do not let them. Once profit is involved it's all over for patients.

Happy Equinox, #5amWritersClub! I was with you, but not online. Thanks to excellent advice given here, I am now a fountain pen rough drafter. Transformational tool! The robins arrived in our yard this morning for the first songs of 2026.

I am in favor of age restrictions on iPhones. For instance, if you are over the age of 50, the ability to record audio and send as a text should be blocked.

This Welsh island with house could be yours for £350k Island of Ynys Gifftan can only be reached by foot at low tide, or with a boat

For the bewildered gift-giver when my birthday rolls around. Or for the holidays even. A land deed fits nicely into a stocking.

Good morning #5amWritersClub. Trying to write while eating yogurt breakfast and fending off a feline who would also like to eat yogurt breakfast.

Just so I’m clear on how the international order works on rules for thee and not for me, the US blockading all oil shipments to Cuba in order to starve that country into submission is fair play, but Iran blockading the Strait of Hormuz is not.

OK, got it. 🙃

Using AI to write is like doing Tai Chi by moving your limbs.

I sent in my opinion because of your posting and shared to my Oregon people. Thank you.
