How do you know when a character is fully formed in your mind? Is it a voice, a moment, a decision they make? Curious to hear how others bring characters to life. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Some memories are patient. They stay with us softly, waiting for the day we finally understand what they meant. #BookSky #Readers #WritingLife

How do you feel about the use of present tense in stories? It always feels awkward to me to use as a writer or to read as a reader. Short bursts of it are okay, though #writingq #WritingCommunity

#WritingQ #WritingCommunity She doesn’t fear Hell’s cages. She doesn’t fear Heaven’s. She fears that if she stops mocking the world long enough, she might actually want to stay. And that is the cage.

#vss365 #dark just before sunrise time inhales the dark

The #dark tugs at me with silver-tongued promises of comfort and numbness, absolution from the horrors of this world Yet I resist, eyes wide open heart cracking in two as I hang by a thread, remembering that somewhere in the haze above remains a sun #vss365

The waves rose as if to touch the sky The ocean heave-ho'd to give another try #vss365 #poetry #writingprompt #touch 📸 free pik

Do I always get their jokes? No. Does their book press a perfect leaf? Absolutely. #NewYorkerCartoons

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Brendan Loper. #NewYorkerCartoons

Dr. Susan La Flesche Picotte was the first #NativeAmerican woman to become a physician in the United States. A member of the Omaha tribe, she campaigned for public health & for the formal, legal allotment of land to members of her tribe. #WomensPhysiciansDay #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMedicine

Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme is #Black&White Common Goldeneye ducks as seen this week on the river. It’s fun watching them fish. They dive for their food and when one goes under, the rest follow suit one by one as they notice their buddy nearby dive under the surface. FOMO in nature 😅😂

#HaikuFeels #rant He’ll rant for hours No, no, he can’t rant, it’s true Because it’s haiku

She lost her #lambent sky eyes in the crush of still life. She could see it, pursed behind irises— a dying speck of sun, shivering. She tried to pluck it from a memory, but like the ghosted flicker of stars, it was already light-years away. #vss365

She sprayed the perfume, a fragrance not made in thirty years, its scent swirling around her like a forgotten dream. It smelled just like the one he had given her years ago. But as the fragrance faded, so did the memory of his face. She reached for more, desperate, but the bottle was dry. #VSS365

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 4 is #ghost "But that isn’t all. Some of my ghosts are planets. Not bright. Not young. Spiraling deep in the dusk of my body as saucers or moons pleased with their belts of colored dust & hailing no others." 'Ghosts', Kiki Petrosino #4

My #soul speaks in riots quiet though they may be. Can you hear it? Or is it but a whisper a cacophony below a summer’s green, a storm folded in brooding sea. Or am I but a firefly stealing kisses from the sun? #vss365

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 2 is #soul "Lying, thinking Last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I don’t believe I’m wrong That nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone." 'Alone', Maya Angelou #2

The soul is the place where harm lands and meaning survives. It looks different in everyone, but it’s always the part that still gets to choose. The world can bruise us. It can’t author us. #vss365 #soul

#SFFChat I don't label it in my story, but my MC is heavily Audhd coded. In-universe, this is hardly neuro*divergent* though, because different races think differently. He's a half-orc and orcs are the race of chaos. All of them think in adhd patterns. Humans are the race of order.

You #obfuscate your heart, yet like moon’s silver edge, your longings wander the seams of nightfall, before writing yourself across my skin. Like stars peddling memories, you dust me in your fragments— half-formed notes of warmth that dry on my heart until shadows swallow you once more. #vss365

..i feel the sun today.. fire to my fire.. a burn.. in the best way.. burn-it-all-away.. let the ashes dance like ghosts.. in day-light-remains.. ©️dww . #quotes #lyrical #sun #alchemy #indiesongwriter #writer #songstress #philosophy #rebirth #solarreturn

how long will you stand at the edge? this place where boulder hovers and pain boils in a cauldron of memories how many locks upon your heart 'til the weight keels you over? wings, trained to shutter in flight

“Dusk blankets the ground, The pack armed with moonlit eyes, Emerges as one.” #haikufeels

#HaikuFeels #undo #prompt A new calendar Pauses, checks once more. 2025, has no undo.

Many thanks to DJ Tyrer, 5-7-5 #Haiku Journal, and Atlantean #Publishing. 🙏 In the Blue Ridge, mossy trails wind velvety green miles, knowing exactly where to go. Crossing paths, migrating leaves wander the wilds without aim or care. They both share the mountain. ✨️🍂🌱⛰️🌱🍂✨️ #poetrycommunity #poetry

You arrive in my therapy office with tears trickling down your face. Sitting across from me, tissue in hand,you begin to talk. I listen. You slowly unmoor your melancholy. #vss365 #unmoor
