I struggle to show up authentically online as an author of fiction. I want to connect with my audience, but the way I say the things I want to say is through my stories. Social media posting, newsletters, blogs, etc. are forms of nonfiction, and I almost never want to write that.

I really like this hymn. https://buff.ly/42Uq0UN "The Summons" by John L. Bell. My favourite lines: "Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare?"

I hoard mugs like a dragon in my lair. Eventually all the mugs in the land become mine, and then I bring some of them downstairs to generously distribute to the villagers, I mean my husband and child. Then the cycle begins anew, because I want more cups of tea.
