This story started in my head the first time I visited a plantation while pregnant --37 years ago. We revisited the site last summer with my grandchildren, and finally, the story came together for me. Thx @fracturedlit.bsky.social! #booksky fracturedlit.com/marked/

I'm a day late for #FrancophonieDay but I did like the book I read by #FrenchCanadian writer #CatherineLeroux to observe it. Though I had to read it in English. #amreading blog.gailgauthier.com/2025/03/the-...

"It's your responsibility as a writer to determine where you belong in the literary ecosystem." I just found that quote in notes from a panel discussion I Zoomed two years ago. Perhaps writers belong in any part of the literary ecosystem that will have them? #writing #writingcommunity

#BlackHistoryMonth reading. Not exactly history, but I enjoyed it. I identified with Jane so much. blog.gailgauthier.com/2025/02/the-...

I came upon this title and thought it was a book on how to write affirmations. That could have been a thing.

Authors, if you see this, it's a sign to post the first line of your book. #writing #booksky. "“No, I’m not sorry you two had to leave and come back so many times, Jasmine."

I am a big fan of done lists and try to do a formal one every Friday at my blog. Knowing what you've done helps when planning what to do next. Also, they can make it clear that you are working, even if you aren't accomplishing much. So, you have that, anyway. blog.gailgauthier.com/2025/01/frid...

Our library lost our Hoopla. I did not appreciate it enough while I had access to it. This I have regrets about.

"You feel an aching need to call your parents and apologize for all the grief you’ve caused them" No. I regret nothing.

I have always liked January. I gotta say, though, the constant complaining about it on my Facebook page is bringing me down.
