From the image: Long have I felt the boot heels of my betters upon my back, forcing my face into the excrement of my education. Having neither the strength to stand nor the willingness to lay still. The small voice buried within me whispers louder than their laughter. "Stand." As I pull my hands beneath me and bring my knees toward my chest. My sweat pours like ink upon an empty page, a story they suppressed, no longer.

A departure from the usual, something different.

Spent this morning reading The Wind in the Willows and a couple of short stories by HP Lovecraft

I found a really different vibe for my day.

I am now actively working with someone to set this up. Please be patient. I’m new to this. But she’s a pro, so it will happen.

Anyone who is interested, please drop a comment so I can notify you. Or not. I’ll be posting about it.

two girls are sitting on a couch reading books Alt: Tia and Tamara from Sister, Sister sit next to each other on the couch, writing in their notebooks. It looks like their annoying neighbor, Roger, is moving in the background

Looking into forming a writing support group where we get together and write for a few hours each week. When/if it starts becoming real, y’all will be the first to know.

The distant giggles of school girls alerted me to what might expect as I reached the gate.
They wondered why anyone would leave a silly hat on a post.

My work would be nothing without my beta readers & especially the two amazing people who have been my editors @ewiggins66.bsky.social and @lousytshirt.bsky.social

Anyone who is considering an editor should definitely have a chat with either of them

A marker drawing of an odd entity that looks like they might exist in a Flash Gordon movie: somewhat robotic armor, a pig mask, owl goggles, and a multi-colored skirt. I think that’s what it is. I didn’t plan it out.

A new one. I call this “Black Velvet Cosmic Dreamer.”

Standing in the rain in the garden, I could do nothing else but look at her.
Impressions, memories lost in life, was all I had. Groping for a thread that would unravel a tapestry. A testament of someone who was somebody not deserving to be forgotten.
I place my #hand on hers.

Even if you just wanted me to follow you back. Thank you.

And thank you to those who share my stuff. You’re lovely human beings.

It was as I suspected, a memorial to her. Why he couldn't say, he only knew who she was, not why that spot or who made her. Two men to make the base & three to her on it. No one else is alive to talk.

The old mason was here fix the hearth. He left to get a bucket from the garden.
When I found him, he was on the bench.
"I thought she was lost," he cried as I approached.
"Who is she?"
"His first love, perhaps his only. She wore his #ring, but you have her eyes."

I cannot remember a single time when someone explained to me just how arduous changing your life is.

Nobody said, “You know how Wolverine’s entire skeleton was replaced with adamantium? You’re doing that—without mutant healing powers.”

Now, she is among the roses & gazes out across the garden

I have a bench where I enjoy my morning tea & wonder why. A makers mark upon the base, a trace to another time

My #pen cannot begin to write the questions that arise
Except the one that asks, why does she have my eyes

Whatever had dried upon the paper, the scrawl once fluid, now begging to return from where it had been pried.

Disfunctional descriptions ooze from my #pen, persons lose their passions and repose upon the page.

Then she said, "wow, I like that."

And I began again.

Why ADHD Writers’ Brains Are Like Lions (and How to Harness Their Power) | Jane Friedman By learning to embrace the nonlinear nature of the ADHD brain, you can learn to write with more ease and less frustration.

If you're an ADHDer and find that advice for neurotypical writers doesn't work for you, you're not alone. In this piece for @janefriedman.com, I explore why this happens and what approaches might work better.

She showed him her hand wrapped in ribbon. What it meant was what it always had

He took her hand, bound his to hers and they tied the bow

It was all they needed & nothing more.

It was as it had been, & always will

A drawing of an alien creature. He looks like a mix between Darth Vader and Martian Manhunter. Behind him is a yellow sun and pink sky. I called it POG because it reminds me of a POG.

I call this one POG.

She was not meant to leave here & I will not let her stay.

Stone and mortar hold her to this place. This #man & his devices will have the final say.

Leaning forward & hoisted slowly, the sledge will bear the weight. Onward, to the garden as snails before the setting sun.

Oh. Wow. This one is tough. I titled it “Waiting for the train,” because it sort of reminded me of waiting for the train in the subway. It’s an abstract image featuring a vaguely robotic figure with weird shapes for a face. The train is just lines and colors. Above the robot’s head is a lot of red and orange and yellow lines.

Waiting for the train…

From within the weeds, she peered at me. Her gaze, stone cold, yet warm.

Some love & kind hands created her & she should not be left here lost to all.

In the garden, among the flowers beside the elm. An #exalted place for this foundling I muse.

Not knowing why she is here.

A review of two of works from a local English teacher

"The way that you recast the wolf in The Wolf and the Piggies was unexpected and really effective - he was a sympathetic character through his drive for justice after becoming a victim."

An abstract drawing that I made using various markers. I’m not sure how to describe it to you. I guess I’d say it is a stone path and then a bunch of colors in various directions.

I don’t know what this is. But it’s done.
