The dog sniffed its way across the snowy back yard and squatted. And pooped. Jerry Shagg averted his eyes, and mortified, Cedar hurried him from her office, #wrestled his coat out of her closet, and sent him on his way. From the Christmas novel I'm writing. #amwriting #writesky #wipsnips

Langston Hughes (1902) - poet, social activist, playwright. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I'll be at the table. ...They'll see how beautiful I am -- I, too, am America. #booksky #writingcommunity #authors

It’s a small fib. Kelvin has spent plenty of time at the garage...but after I noticed his paws were slowly turning grimy with oil and messing up the back seat of the Mustang, I left him at home. “There’s no one who can cover for you?” Her question is icy. “I work alone. I’m a #mechanic.” #writesky

I’ve hit some weird nerve. “You are not interested in me?” he repeats, incredulous. He snorts. “I was doing you a favor. But if you can’t #accept it, so be it.” I swallow a lump of fear. I’ve never encountered anyone so out of touch. My dad is controlling but this is a whole new level. #amwriting

Hey @bsky.app One #notification is all that's necessary for follows. Not a notification for each follow. I think, wow, I have fourteen notifications, only to discover that 13 of them are random follows.

The hospital sprawls on my left, rundown, and depressing, looking as though instead of tearing it down and starting fresh, the #government just kept tacking on wings. The building is a mishmash of eras and styles, wood and brick and cinderblock. My mother lies somewhere inside... #WIPSnips #writer

Before I reach it, he scrambles in reverse out of the garbage can, a Chinese food container dangling from his mouth. #Surprised to see me, the goofy, almost cross-eyed, Lassie-type dog cowers, looking guilty, crouching low to the ground, his ears back, tail curling beneath his rear end. #amwriting

As we move around the dance floor, in spite of all this wedding #nonsense, I find I’m enjoying myself, remembering afternoons of spinning and waltzing around the living room with my mom, records on high—foxtrotting and jitterbugging, Johnny Mathis, Sam Cooke, Elvis Presley. #amwriting #WIPSnips

Jake Jackson deserted his dog. He is a thoughtless, #irresponsible, disloyal-to-the-bone, man. I get out some markers and start making “Free to a Good Home” posters for Kelvin and her brood. #WIPSnipws #WIP #Novel #author #writesky #amwriting #writingcommunity #writer

Good King Wenceslas looked out On the Feast of Stephen When the snow lay round about Deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night Though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight Gathering winter fuel. #christmascarol #boxingday #feastofststephen (Sheet music By Gryffindor)

“A dryer fire,” she drawls. “Some idiot thought he’d fix the dryer himself instead of calling the repairman.” She’s #referring to her husband, Rex. “We may get fired,” she adds in her usual wry delivery. #amwriting #WIPSnips #writesky #novel #author #writer #WIP #booksky
