Fellow writers, I’m almost 64 years old and just published my first book. Not a bestseller, but I did it. Now I’ll get to work on the next one. You got this! Talk to me about your writing aspirations. I’ll follow you and cheer you on. #writingcommunity #writers

Wanna' see something cool? My wife and I took a Valentine's Day road trip down to check out Prairie Archives in Springfield, Illinois. We were there for under two hours, and easily could have stayed longer, but we had to race an incoming winter storm home. Read all about it! #reading #bookstores

I bought a copy of Still Life with Woodpecker back when I was a college kid. I appreciated Robbins’ unique writing style.

Please share your thoughts on this if you will… Individuals may get censored, punished, or ostracized, sometimes all three — even posthumously — for having voiced views that run contrary to the current trends, but this does nothing to sway them otherwise. Quite the contrary, in fact. ⬇️

Any veggie roasting fans out there? Besides potatoes, my favorite vegetables to roast include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and Brussels sprouts. Roasting changes the flavor of these veggies for the better. Great for sides! How about you?

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

I seldom wax political, but this recently dawned on me and I welcome your thoughts. Of the two billionaires that everyone keeps talking about, Musk is the smarter one. He’s relatively young and razor sharp. I’m guessing that as this becomes more apparent, the inevitable rift will occur. ⬇️

This isn’t from my book. It’s just one of the many bits and pieces that I’ve posted on my social media feeds for years now. Oddly enough, my book came into being from a bunch of similar bits and pieces. #writer #writersky #lovers

Here is what make me tick. Family, relationships, spirituality, and love are essential to me. I love writing, reading, live theater, good movies, and music, especially live performances. I live for road trips, on two wheels or four. Finally, I believe that any experience is far better when shared.
