I had a 'come to Jesus' moment with a story yesterday. It's a modern day 'Cinderella & what happens after the ball' story. Plot was all over the place, need to focus on 1 event & run with that. At least I know where I want it to go. #writing #modernfairytale #fiction #stories #blueskywriters

Editing stories. Ran out of places to submit micro fiction, drawing blanks on writing new stuff or WIP, so I can at least edit stuff. Mainly tightening up stories, fixing story endings. #editing #stories #fiction #writingcommunity #blueskywriters

For shits and giggles, I'm going to use AI to rewrite all my micro fiction, just to see what AI spews out. I'm not going to submit any of it. More just morbid curiosity. I'm facetiming later today with a BFF I've known for 40 years. Dinner is left overs.

Their end game is probably replealing women's voting rights. So glad I never changed my name when I got married.

I miss swimming. Waiting on new bathing suit I ordered from LL Bean. I should be able to swim a couple of days next week. Did some editing on a couple of stories. Still struggling with writing in general. Stupid fucking 🍊💩. #writing #editing #thestruggleisreal #stories #fiction

writing updates. Nothing really new if y'all have been paying attention. But there are cat pictures. 😄 #writing #submitting #editing #fiction #microfiction #stories kimhayes.substack.com/p/publishing...

How to get easily distracted from writing. What's streaming on Amazon Prime? Oh, Alone? That show where people are dropped off literally in the middle of nowhere and expected to survive? Ok then. #alone #survival

Had an interesting dream last night that I'm gonna try to turn into a story. Cubs are on the road for a week, so I can get some writing done. I've had 2 stories from dreams published. #writing #stories #fiction #cnf #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #storiesfromdreams

I survived the first homestand of the season! The weather is ALWAYS shitty this time of year, and this is my 9th season working. Yes, I know to layer up, but it gets REALLY old coming home after every game freezing my ass off, even with all the layers. #pettybitching #firstworldproblems

These are a couple of my long time internet pocket friends. They are good eggs. If you can't help, can you boost the signal please.

Ok, I try not to get all political on here, but really, y'all. Where the fuck has Melania been? Holed up in NYC? No one's heard a peep out of her lately.

I survived a stupidly windy/chilly opening day. At least they won? 🤪

I work for that Chicago northside baseball team. Opening Day is tomorrow. I generally don't do jack on days(& nights) I'm working games, so writing/editing/submitting is on hold for a few days. As for what I do, I'm a Professional Car Babysitter. (I work in the parking lots)

Every country impacted by the tariffs should refuse to give Trump and his admin any deference - no state visits, no special gifts, nothing. Trump’s ego is the way to hurt him - use it against him.

In the process of removing 15 years of personal shit (mainly pictures) from Facebook. Not posting there anymore, but because of certain groups I'm an active part of, not deleting my account. Still have to do that for IG. Fun times!

Thought y'all might like pictures of Miranda (July 1999 - August 2020). #catsofbluesky

On a submitting spree, still trying to find lit mags for my micro fiction. Genres vary from spec fic to general fiction, about ten stories. Word counts 100- 500 words. #submitting #litmags #fiction #microfiction #stories #blueskywriters #writingcommunity

DAMN. Granted (personal opinion here) NaNo jumped the shark YEARS ago, but still. Did not see this coming.
