For every person, American or Canadian, who asked why we care about U.S. politics. Asked, and answered. Vice le Canada.

A little annoyed with the teenager. Switched all the clocks to analog now he has no idea when anything is happening.

Just a thought. @bsky.app could convert text to cursive as a kindness. Tiktok users would have puzzles to work on while the guy who insisted it be banned now saves it, and our secrets would be safe.

The 4 am conundrum. I've locked my mc in a safe, hidden spot. I have no idea how to get her out. Sleep, then think it through!

Short stories are like a good warm up for athletes. It prevents unnecessary pain and helps you clear your head.

3000 word short story complete for first week of January. Not to be used as an excuse to neglect the novel. #Iamquerying #Iamwriting

Ai and writing are different things. When I started the query process I tried AI. The program posed rudimentary questions and regurgitated a perfectly formatted query letter. Only not about my book. It was generic, both in description and voice. Writing is the opposite.

262 word manifesto? My guess is he's been working on a query letter for months. Is it wrong I want to read his pitch? #Iamquerying

Every stock I've purchased devalues down to O rather quickly. think I've found my personal form of protesting corporate greed-I buy their stock. Instant failure.

Woke up with some disturbing thoughts. It feels like the world has had enough of being told "let them eat cake". The so called elite should be mindful.

My mother left school at 12, during WWII. She read every night. 10-15 books a month and had an extensive vocabulary. Thanks Mom.

Great day! I was able to complete a full outline for the book I started. It started with a little idea and as I wrote it all came together. Love that!

You haven't published-do you create a website? What does it look like?

Does anyone else struggle with comparables? Mine are usually decades old or recent but it seems presumptuous to compare to those. Just saying, I'm incomparable .
