That feeling when you take a trip with your mc to a place you’ve never been, during a time when you didn’t exist.

So cool!!

Where have you gone with your mc?

Today’s motivation is to finish my chapter that I spent two days formulating in my head.

What’s your motivation today?

Resting calico kitty, Waddles

My inspiration for writing From the Heart came from a simple question: Where did she get the money?

What was your inspiration?

“But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.” —from The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin

The Farthest Shore, the third Earthsea novel, was first published by Atheneum Books in 1972.

It took me a while too. I have to say the novel really picks up once you figure out what’s actually going on. (Part 3) It’s meta fiction, a mystery, and historical all wrapped together.

The similarities of the political climate in Weimar Germany to what’s going on in current times are uncanny and quite frightening.

Baking keeps me sane. It’s something about creating something delicious and satisfying by mixing random ingredients together

How do I balance positive thinking and mental health with knowledge of world?

I see snow outside my window and momentarily wonder if it’s ashes.

Yesterday was too many weeks in one day. My body decided it had enough.

Today- oatmeal, purrs, and beautiful silence

Dear World,

We’re sorry.

Sincerely,

Sane, Decent Americans
