The things one has to look up and see if the Internet knows when you're #writing a story. Probably won't even play into the #story but you have to know just in case and also curiosity takes over at some point. #amwriting #writinglife #writingcommunity

i'm like oscar wilde with his comma except for me it's going back and changing the tense of everything in a half-written story because i can't make up my damn mind

I've now had 3 books published at least 10 years after they were first written (and all three were MUCH better in their final forms for the wait as my skills as an author grew!), so this blog entry from Casey Lyall resonated a lot: https://picturebookseh.weebly.com/blog/when-letting-go-doesnt-mean-giving-up-by-casey-lyall

Good day!

My visual review of the year begins today with January 2025.

Yesterday, I took my strongest walk in a while & suffered no ill effects. I still do yoga every day. I’m retaining my strength, ready to make new memories post Covid.

Be everwell.

A painting by George Harvey (1806–1876) for today's writing prompt. Is your story going to focus on the characters or perhaps the painting itself with its obvious brushmarks and painting artefacts? #writingprompts #writinglife #writingtips #georgehavey #artworks

Why does Microsoft Word keep questioning me on the placement of question marks? I want certain sentences to end in a question. I don't get the editor sometimes between its love for the em dash and questioning whether I got things right or not. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writinglife

Good day!

Yesterday was my 1-year anniversary with Evie Cat. I mark the days on a calendar, she marks them on my skin.

I’m eyeing an easy hike by year’s end. No straining, just walking in nature. I’ll take Covid-return precautions. It’ll be a test.

Be everwell.
