Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed? – Annie Dillard
Oh I've been away from here for so long. Phone broke, had to use old crappy phone that wouldn't install anything... but I'm back! Are people still here?? 😅
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. - Anaïs Nin
Silence suggests a sudden lacking, grayness entwined in dreams that mingle with life, rising through vast stages, ages, eons-the eternal longing and restlessness that keeps me awake, upon an end table near my bed just a glimpse, as I reach forever into an immense empty space #poetry #poem #writing
I have been away from here for long- how terrible! What's been happening in the #writerdon lately?

Most artists I know are not neuro-typical (me too). Some have OCD, social phobias, PTSD, physical challenges & more. ART is the balm that soothes us, but it's more than that. And we need support! If we use more hashtags (or certain ones), please understand we just want to be SEEN. If we post a link, know we hope you might COLLECT so we can survive. If our posts look formulaic consider it may be OCD and NOT spam. #Kindnessmatters

@WriterLP Slow. I take my time and feel no pressure to get to the end in a hurry. My goal, usually, is to learn from my reading about how to write prose, rather than finishing the book. I read a few at a time, too. Sometimes to myself, sometimes out loud.
I read 2 books during the first 5 days of January and now I'm back to taking several weeks to finish a book. I don't know what happened during Jan 1st and 5th but it gave me a taste of what those hardcore "reading goal" people must do. Weirdly I don't feel I retained as much from those first 2 books... they feel less solid in my head. I think I need that slow reading to digest my books. Are you a fast or slow reader?
