Kathleen breaks the cycle...the crowds cheer

Man looking at cards in a shop: How about this one?
His friend: It’s a birthday card.
Man: You could cross that out.
His friend: And write what?
Man: ‘I’m sorry’?

(I can't stop, this is too funny)

Write to evoke your readers' emotions, they said...

Popping in from my Editing Cave with an update on this beauty: I’m 40% of the way through my line edits! Which means ARCs will be available soonnnnn 👀

She wrote what could be a interpreted as a sad response to the tales and feathers prompt. Whenever she replies "it's not that sad," I add another sad emoji😂

My family is the only one to wear abalone shell. The buttons are cool and smooth under my thumb as I fasten my little son's thick sealskin coat.

He has never seen the sea. He does not know what I miss. But someday, someday he will feel cold waves kiss his skin, as I did.

🥺

A red button for the man I love, (he doesn't like red but he wears it proudly because it's from me) a green button for the pocket where he keeps the dreams he shares with me, a black button for the box where we keep the nightmares at bay.

Zinnias ... endlessly fascinating (and beloved by pollinators)

A pretty slice of cake with whipped cream and blueberries, surrounded by some chaotic white geese: one is honking, one is sitting down like a person a crumb on their cheek while a tiny bite of the cake is suspiciously missing, one is eying the cake with laser like intensity, and a fourth is just poking their head out from behind the slice

Honk if you like cake 🪿🍰

Yes! I absolutely love that comparison

Sometimes writing is like making a quilt.

You find a perfectly good story-thing, rip it apart into a thousand tiny, frayed little pieces, and cheerfully stitch them together again, one painstaking stab at a time.

(yes, I'm fine)

If you need 17 seconds of Autumn..✨

Time is fleeting*

*I should have started my shower 20 mins ago

Nah, you were fine

I think Zach was an absolute revelation live, like who is this guy doing incredible accents

I find it's less stressful in type, I can form the thoughts first even when they come fast😅

The city must eat. It is what my mother and father taught me. There has never been famine since we learned to listen.

At the top, sunflowers, wheat. Pumpkin and strawberry shoots trail from windows, by waterfalls. In the cool, dark soil, potatoes, yellow, purple, orange.

Every plant, a memory.

Potatoes!!!!

Battered suitcase in hand, I decline the android's help as I go down the stairs slowly. I say goodbye to the mushroom vendor on floor 215, I listen to the baker's news on floor 199, I sing with the choir at the church on floor 155, I fish in the pond on floor 73. I'm finally moving to the forest.
