"Mystery interwined in a pioneering supernatural world. It can easily make a fantastic bestseller." Recent reader's words "As I reach the edge of the opening, my blood pressure is rising. Never have I seen something like this before." Marquise Gertain, THE HIDDEN FACE by M. I. Verras #bookclub

When you've been writing so much dialogue in your manuscript that you almost put quotation marks around your words when texting a friend. 🙃 #booksky

The vacuuming lady left. Without leaving any treats.

After a potty-mouthed parrot named Pepper was surrendered to an animal shelter in Niagara Falls, N.Y., more than 400 people applied to adopt him. “Do you want me to kick your [expletive]?” the parrot named Pepper asked a volunteer at the shelter.

Feeling pretty grateful our ancestors gave these things a pest control contract 10,000 years ago.

À l'aube (1875) aka At Dawn, the best known painting by Charles Hermans (1839-1924) who "denied that his intention was to engage in social criticism and argued that he chose the subject because of its artistic possibilities." If you say so, Charles. #LesBelges

On another SM platform, I found handwritten notebook drafts of someone's WIP under my book post. So far, I may have seen other book posts under mine, but I never expected to find WIP notes and drafts. That's quite brave. 😅

Safety and protection for all. Those who cause injury to people and misery to families have no empathy, do not seem to want to acquire it, and therefore have no place in a free society.

Update! The sniffening has begun.

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED SOMETHING SO BADLY THAT, DURING THAT ETERNAL MOMENT OF DESIRING, THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE CEASES TO EXIST?

Time to start the workweek. It will be an uphill climb to be sure. #photography

Grape shrub turned out good! Tart but sweet. Only thing, not really a problem: there's a lot of it. Also started a plum shrub with some pineapple vinegar (and then apple cider vinegar, and topped off with white vinegar when I ran out of the others).

A few days ago, one of the juvenile Great Horned Owls was sitting in the rain, outside of my house, staring in the window. The structure of its face makes it appear unhappy about sitting out in the cold rain. #birds 🪶

Triscuit and Tots snuggling at the end of the bed when I woke up ^.^

Sitting at my desk working and hear a big splash in the pool and I know who it is! I hope he wasn't too freaked out by all of the fireworks last night, poor big buddy.

There was someone who posted a flamboyant review of my book, and then after days, I found a DM similar to, "Now that I reviewed your book, review mine. How can you be so unyielding?" First, I barely read my DMs, and second, did I ever ask him to do so? Voluntary reviews should not expect exchanges.

The you-know SM platform surprised me again. I created an account there after my unexcused suspension days ago, and today, I found the new one suspended. I created a new one today, and it was locked because it detected unusual activity: Trying to upload a post. 🤣 Breathing: Locked. Unusual activity.

My new #WIP sets my mind on fire, as I am feverishly making connections between characters and facts. I really enjoy it, though. #booksky #writingcommunity #books #bookcommunity #booksofbluesky

Dear Bluesky users, Did the other platform, the you-know-which, from which you migrated here, suspend your accounts for no reason? I'm asking because it did that to me unreasonably. So, it lets fake inappropriate accounts, fake book promoters intact but blocks hard-working authors. Free speech.

The raccoon family paid a visit again.

Maybe good uses evil and the opposite. Perhaps our fate is determined by both sides. At what percentage and with what criteria? To what extent can we intervene? Is there any act that does not enclose good and evil? Image: Saibel, DeviantArt, Elink.io. All its rights go to the owner. I don't own it.
