Me and half of my team were laid off last month. I had been there 27 years.

BIG LIFE UPDATE:

I’ve decided to follow my dream and move to Antarctica to open the world’s first-ever Penguin CafΓ©.

It’s called β€œWaddle it Be?”

We specialize in ice-cold lattes, fish-shaped scones, and snowcones.

So, Waddle it Be? 🐧 β˜•οΈ 🧊

If You Still Don’t Understand the Monty Hall Paradox, You Never Will You are presented with three doors and know that behind one of the doors is a new car, while the other two reveal a goat. The host of this…

My final attempt at the Monty Hall Paradox. (With a fun multi-door simulator!)

Which "explanation" is your favorite?

How Deliberate Practice Can Develop Your Writing Skills and Talent | Jane Friedman Current research favors regular nurturing of a skill, as discussed in this excerpt from Deliberate Practice for Creative Writers by Jules Horne.


"… it’s good to examine … the theory that some people are … born geniuses in their field, while others get there through learning and practice. … one way of thinking is empowering, and the other is … disempowering."

I’m in this process right now as well. That and asking ChatGPT β€˜what if’ questions. I’m researching for what may become my first historical fiction. We’ll see.

Turning Literary Lemons into Lemonade Some children dream of becoming an astronaut, a world-famous singer, or perhaps a ninja/doctor (that last one was my son). My dream to become a prolific author began when I was 12 years old. I can rem...

As I’m sure many authors do, I get asked by aspiring writers how I got started. I often reply with this guest blog that I wrote about my journey www.rateyourstory.org/single-post/...

This was totally me as a childβ€”I read the dictionary and thesaurus for fun! My love for them has only grown, and I still enjoy discovering obscure words. Now, words randomly pop into my head at all hours, and one of those late-night visitors inspired the MC name in my book Ishkabibble Unafraid. ❀️

By Day 4 of #Storystorm, inspiration struck with a story idea that wouldn’t let go! Instead of simply adding it to my growing list, I found myself diving into research and racing to keep up with the muse. Sometimes, when an idea demands your attention, you just have to follow where it leads! πŸ’‘

I used to buy a special one every year. But now, I have a Kindle scribe so I just set up a Storystorm notebook. The benefit is that I have all the notebooks together and I (probably) won’t lose them lol

According to Amazon Music, I’m in the top 7% of Bob Marley listenersβ€”and I’m not surprised. His music has been my refuge on stressful days, a calming rhythm when anxiety runs high. Bob’s songs are always there, reminding me to take a breath and feel alright. πŸ’œ

Aww! A (temporary) living ornament! πŸ’œ It brought back memories of my childhood in Alabama, watching my dad chase a squirrel around the living room while I stood in the doorway, laughing like a loon. Of course, I was rooting for the squirrel the whole timeβ€”what a hilarious scene that was! Lol!

About 24 hours ago, Glenn and I heard odd sounds, and suddenly a bird flew out of the kitchen! After many failed attempts to shoo it, we resumed today. Glenn guided it while I opened the door, and it flew out the moment it saw sunlight. I cheered as it leftβ€”it felt like a special visit from my dad.
