Whenever I read a book, I wonder how it got published. Not in a negative way, but out of sheer curiosity by a querying author. I wish writers mentioned their journey in an afterward to help and inspire others. Wouldn't that be interesting? #writing #querying #booksky #writingcommunity

After posing for this, those clouds went on the sprinkle me with rain for the remainder of my walk... #photography #clouds #rain #Maine

This rook, like me, has seen better days 🤣 #chess #life #observations

The Magic Waterfall was a bit tough this morning. It told me to stop wishing for an agent or a book deal, and just write a better novel instead... #writing #querying #booksky #writingcommunity #toughlove

This duck surprised me by wandering up to me on my favorite bench. He had some really intriguing thoughts for a plot twist in my next chapter... #photography #ducks #writing #Maine

I'm not sure why I took a photo of this street lamp, but I am now contractually bound to share it on social media 🤣 #Stunday #photography #Maine

They just played Ghostbusters on the radio. As Ray Parker, Jr kept singing "I ain't afraid of no ghosts", the writer in me thought he might be frightened if the ghost was a strict English teacher upset with how he was mangling the language with his slang and double negatives 🤣👻 #writing

I'm weird. A creature of habit who hates change. It makes me anxious to drive someplace I've never been. Today, I got crazy for me and went to a gas station I've never used because the price was 10 cents a gallon less than anywhere else. Is that progress? Or am I too far gone? 🙂

Few people from away realize there's a law in Maine that requires you to stop by the railroad tracks to check for a dead body... #photography #StandByMe #tracks #Maine

Has the moon turned red? Or has Mars gotten dangerously close??? #photography #moon #Maine

Today I saw someone I hadn't seen in almost 20 years. We used to be so close, and she'll always be dear to me. It was nice to catch up, talk about old times, and be reminded I wasn't always a grumpy hermit 🤣 #friends #nostalgia #goodolddays

Life can be frustrating when you always put in an all-star effort, but half your team refuses to play above a minor league level...

Maine is so beautiful and peaceful... #stunday #photography #reflection #blue #Maine

It's such an exciting match that other chess pieces have gathered to watch the action... #stunday #photography #chess #Maine

If opposites attract, does the fact that I'm single me an opposite of me was never created?

Maine's legendary Shadow Man will occasionally creep out of the darkness to admire bright, colorful flowers... #stunday #photography #shadows #flowers #Maine

I'm trying a different genre. My WIP is sci-fi and the most challenging part has been the chapters where my characters encounter an alien. I write what I know. The one time I was abducted by aliens, they wiped my memory. So I'm just guessing what my characters are feeling. #writing #booksky

Walked down to the river to relax. This view is definitely helping... #photography #clouds #nature #Maine

I need to get my Real ID. In case the aliens finally arrive and ask me to go back with them...

We could save a ton on gas if humans would evolve to the point where we were capable of flying...

I've been reading palms to make some extra money. I'm not really good at it yet, though. So far, when I look at a person's palm I can only tell them two things: that it's clean or that it's dirty 🤣

That feeling after you've had a stressful day and you discover one of your favorite authors has written a new book. And it's just waiting there on the shelf at the library! #writing #reading #booksky #library #books

Do you ever think about the query letter you'll need to write as you're working on your WIP? Or do you block out such thoughts until the story is ready? #writing #querying #booksky #writingcommunity

My #Yankees have been a tough watch lately. They've forgotten how to hit, the pitching has been suspect, and their fielding has been on a Little League level. Hopefully, the long season gives them time to remember how to play like the Yankees again...

Today's Maine postcard. Happy Independence Day! #photography #clouds #Maine

I finally gave in and added Peacock (it comes free with my cable). What shows on Peacock should I be watching? I added it to watch the #Yankees today, but might as well take advantage of it...
