If you are lagging in your writing. Don't be afraid or feel guilty to schedule time out to just think about your story, your characters, ponder them, strategize about them instead of writing. Story clarity always fixes writing lulls. - Wrtr #amwriting #author #writer #writing ~ #authorsky

Also! Because someone asked - if anyone on #booksky is looking for an Amazon alternative for audiobooks, Libro.fm is the way to go. You can set your local indie to benefit from your audio book purchase.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Disappointed to read the news today that TN Governor Bill Lee (R) tied his pet project--school vouchers--to Hurricane Helene relief. In a private meeting with County School mayors (City Schools not invited), the strong-arm tactic was announced. Public tax money diversion www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...
