"The weapons of the fiends were not destroyed by the Buddha, but transformed."

If eyes are the windows to the soul then my soul is a frigid block of ice.

This park bench looks like a very comfortable and stylish couch.

Heading to the store for vegan creamer or going to rob a bank? I don't know, I don't know, we'll see when we get there.

The snow is a *little* deep for baby Mia.

I somehow got roped into writing a review for a friend's book. If that wasn't enough, I also agreed to read said review (1200 wds) in front of 30 people. Just put the dirt over me now... #XtremeIntrovertProblems

I just ate an entire loaf of bread while watching JEOPARDY! Don't judge me.

Always track your progress in whatever you do. Looking back on what you've accomplished helps you move forward on days when you aren't feeling at your best. #NotesToMyFutureSelf

"success is determined by goal oriented behaviour."

Smart phone cameras never do it justice but the winter night's sky is so much more clear than warmer seasons.

When you're young, you want excitement. I remember as a youth hearing an old person say that all they wanted was peace and quiet. It sounded so boring. I get it now...

Dogs are so funny. If you just fed them, then it must be time for a treat. And if they've just had a million treats? Well, then it must be time to eat once again, no?

The night brings peace and wonderful dreams; the sunrise brings the day and makes those dreams come true. #nightandday #dewdrops #monochromephotography #equinox #dreams #photography

My coffee adventure has made a sudden and unexpected turn. Now using James Hoffmann's French Press Method. Amazing. Just when you think you've got it all figured out... #Coffee

Went to see a candlelight concert of Vivaldi's Four Seasons last night. What was the best part? Autumn III, of course. :D

How I'm walking out of 2025.

😍 This is empathy . 👍

Huh. Yesterday was Boxing Day and the idea of going out to 'get deals' never even crossed my mind. I think I'll call that growth.

Bah, humbug. *hrumph*

Ah, yes, the Christmas teepee. Is that a thing? Oh, well. Here it is.

Wake me when Christmas is over.

I used to drink a lot of beer. Now, I drink a lot of coffee. A natural evolution, I think.

"Power into will, will into appetite; And appetite, an universal wolf So doubly seconded with will and power, Must make perforce an universal prey And last eat up himself."

Beautiful sunset. Amazing how blue and orange ('complimentary colours' if you remember from art class) make everything pop and even seem 3D in a photo. I am reminded of work by @jimmusilpainter.bsky.social who paints the canvas orange first and then layers blue over top. #Sunset #Art

Why does 'the news' always seem like re-runs...

My pet frog, enjoying a lil peanut butter in the kong.

Maybe a weird thing for a smut writer to soapbox about, but wolves are a critical component of a healthy, balanced ecosystem 🐺🌐

Walking in a winter wonderland.

No sooner than we get home from from our winter walk than it is immediately time for treats! #MillionTreatsMia

A little nighttime stroll with the dog this evening. I wrote 500 words on this walk. All my best ideas are conceived while walking. #WritingCommunity

"Paint me like one of your French girls."

Man, dogs are the best. That's it. That's the tweet.

You are what you do. If you want to be a writer, all you need do is write. If you want to be a runner, just run. It's that easy. And that difficult.

I like to use hourglasses for timing my writing sprints and then recording times completed on grid paper that is sectioned off by the month. (One is :15, one :30, the big one is :60) It really helps keep me motivated. What writing quirks have you adopted? #WritingCommunity

When I'm happy, I'm making progress on my wip. When I'm making progress on my wip, I'm happy. Now, so long as nothing interrupts this little feedback loop, I'm good. Fingers crossed. #WritingCommunity

An ellipsis... that's what I got done today on my wip... a literal ellipsis. Ugh. I need coffee. #WritingCommunity

#WinterIsComing but my orchids are looking to bloom again. Hope springs eternal. Especially indoors. :P

*singing love songs to my dog*

Just used my new French press for the first time. I never thought it was gonna make such a big difference, but it really does. This is somewhat of a good news/bad news situation. XD I guess nobody ever aims to become a coffee snob. And yet here I am.

To this day, I've still never seen anyone cool a pie on a window ledge.

I had a little mishap with some blue food colouring and still wanted to get some writing in so I put on some dish gloves to prevent my keyboard from being stained. Any way, I had a pretty good writing sprint so I guess I write with dish gloves on now. #WritingCommunity

If you want to see if your dog is spoiled, carry something extremely large and heavy towards them like a couch or a refrigerator. If they do not move, your dog is spoiled.
