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.
#hatsofftoyou big foot Mike for leaving a wool sock message to sleep at mom's.

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.

Thank you to everyone who chose to follow me. I’ve never had over 400 followers before.
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.
Each grain of #sand screams to wasting time as I wait for my egg to cook.

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.

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.

He thinks he has a little over an hour to take care of something. He only had 5 minutes.

An impressionistic drawing. It depicts a dark figure in a white stone mask thinking only of emptiness and nothing. Behind them is beauty.
My latest. Maybe I should start titling these.
