I’m grateful to Queer Love Project on substack for publishing a love story from my uncle Dan’s memoir, Search for a Blessing…please give it a read! 🥹📚🏳️‍🌈 #booksky #writingcommunity #lgbtq open.substack.com/pub/queerlov...

Have some *Joie de vivre* for your day! Maggie shows the way ☺️🐾 #writerslife #dogs

A really beautiful piece, Love in the Shelter, by Nancy Shekter-Porat #onbeingjewishnow #war open.substack.com/pub/onbeingj...

I finally got rolling on substack. I’m happy to follow back my fellow writers! Wish me luck? #writingcommunity #booksky #blogger

My husband and I took a half day off yesterday and walked along the Delaware. I’ve never been this close to a great blue heron in the wild before. It was pretty cool! #writingcommunity #writerslife #NatureFix

After a heady writing week, I came upon a hidden treat: the sound of many peeper frogs singing across the lake! Happy, hoppy Monday! 🐸 🐸🐸☺️#writingcommunity #booksky #writerslife

Writing requires balance: heady work needs walks. Or cooking. Something physical, don’t u agree? Happy writing, friends! #writingcommunity #booksky #writinglife

Maggie could use the path. Instead, she dives into the snow and barks because she’s mad about it! A little bit like how I feel when I’m deep in the weeds editing my WIP! 🤪😁 #writingcommunity #amediting #dogsofbsky

I often see birds hopping on this tree…not today! #njblizzard #writinglife

I put one project aside to finish another. The river of writing is thawing —and flowing again! Phew! #writinglife #writingcommunity

Caller reacts to Bad Bunny's Halftime Show: "You wouldn't ask an opera singer to convert her songs into English. That's ridiculous. The most important thing he said at the end was God Bless America. It was a great performance, it was all love."

Sometimes things seem frozen and unmoving like a river in winter. But underneath there is flow. This is true for writing and also life! #writingcommunity #inspiration #authors #delawareriver #snow2026

I’m looking for places to send ARC copies of a forthcoming LGBTQ+ memoir. Any reccos? #reviewers #lgbtq #media #writingcommunity

In beauty I walk Beauty before me, beauty behind me Beauty above me and beauty below me… (From the Navajo) #newjersey #writerslife #writingcommunity

Lots of little birds finding a warmer place to be…part of me flies with them! #migration #nj #writerslife #writingcommunity

Happy Monday! A few days ago, I went for a full-moon walk and was rewarded by these eyes looking back at me! #writingcommunity #writerslife #authors #fullmoon #nj

Even though I’m not ra-ra about winter, it does have some beauty, and I do get a lot more writing done! What’s your best creative season? #WritingCommmunity #writerslife

Have a happy weekend ahead, friends! My house got a new boiler this week, so it was busy (and chilly yesterday!) Looking forward to a restful weekend and following Maggie‘s lead. #writingcommunity #writerslife #thisoldhouse #maltipoo

A late blooming hibiscus reminding me that everything has its own timing. Nothing has to be rushed. Saying this out loud for myself as both a writer and a writing coach! #writingcommunity #authors #books #writerslife

Getting the good vibes before nights of frost set in! #treebathing #NJ #autumnvibes #writerslife

I went out for a walk yesterday and came home to see these flowers on my step. A neighbor friend said she was cutting them before they freeze. So kind 🥹 #inspiration #kindness #writingcommunity

‘It is from books that wise people derive consolation in the troubles of life.’ ~ Victor Hugo writingforwellbeing.co.uk #writing #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity

Writing isn’t always about words. It’s a lot about listening. Trying to do more of that these days! #booksky #writingcommunity #writerslife

I have writing buddies who help me keep writing better, and I have this writing buddy who keeps me company. Do you have buddies/helpers for your creative life? #booksky #writinglife #writingcommunity

One of my favorite things is when a piece I write takes on a new life in someone else’s hands. Tiffany Graham Charkosky read my 2022 article describing the types of memoirists who land book deals & found a new way to look at her journey. Her memoir releases today: janefriedman.com/all-others-t...

Gonna listen to Kenny Loggins music ALL DAY today in gratitude for his message of unity. Music and the arts should and do bring us together! ”We’re all patriotic…we’re in this together.” #kennyloggins #NoKings #music #writingcommunity

I made some witch’s brew to boost my immune system. It makes the house smell nice! #chai #writinglife #writingcommunity #fallvibes

Some days arrive with noise and demands. Carry your calm like wildflowers in your pocket. Pause, breathe, smile at a stranger, and let your spirit bloom anyway. 🌿💛 #LiveSimply #PositiveVibes #HippieVibes #PeaceOfMind #Inspiration #Peace

Today’s #dawn went riffling through her closet to model a glittering cloak of stars, then draped her skies in rich scarves of color… parading herself above an earth breathing out the last mists of cool night🌌🌄 #5amwritersclub #WritingCommunity #poetry #dawnpatrol #MorningWalk #booksky #photography

My memoir re-launches today under this new cover. I’m glad I was brave to put this out years ago! If I’d write it today, I’d be softer on my dad…we made our amends. But now I write about those conversations separately! Thus is the nature of writing memoir. #memoir #writingcommunity #books

Peace ☮️
