"Nobody cares Work harder "

"Shakespeare's Antony is Cleopatra's only true match and yet he is not her equal."

"Audiences love both the feeling part (reliving the life) and the thinking part (figuring out the puzzle) of a story. Every good story has both." #WritingCommunity

"The author creates a puzzle by withholding information about the character. Withholding, or hiding, information is crucial to the storyteller's make-believe. It forces the audience to figure out who the character is and what he is doing and so draws the audience into the story." #WritingCommunity

Is #LemonRaccoon trending yet?

Self-pity is a disease that poisons everything in your life.

"In fact, part of the effect of the tragedies depends precisely on our ability to make moral judgments: that something is rotten in the state of Denmark, that Desdemona is chaste and lago evil, that Lear is more sinned against than sinning..."

Waiting for adoption at the Mad Catter Cat Cafe

Happy Caturday… Two more candidates up for adoption at the Mad Catter Cat Cafe…

...My hobbies include reading, writing, and recycling all of my old tweets from #TheBadPlace that I feel didn't get the traction they deserved. #BlueSkiesAndKinderAlgos

Snake oil will always be a #1 best seller.

Why are people so difficult to wake in movies? The loved one will shake them and shake them before they come around. If I hear so much as a floor creak while sleeping, I'll immediately wake up, delivering 1000 rapid fire karate chops to the gizzards of anyone unfortunate enough to be near me.

Snake plants and orchids and salt lamps, oh my!

Live your life in such a way that people will think of all the little things that you do for them.

You have the song on your apps or ipod but you go crazy for it when it comes on the radio anyway. What song is it?

Just saw a kid skateboarding home with a pizza. I aspire to this level of confidence.

"Character is destiny." #WritingCommunity

I'm not like most people. I don't profess to watch "very little TV". I love watching TV. But TV for me is not just entertainment. It's a tool. I use it between writing sprints to decompress and also to reward myself for time in the chair. How do you decompress or reward yourself? #WritingCommunity

"Not tame and gentle bliss, but disaster, heroically encountered, is man's true happy ending."

Nature's backlighting...

Sunset at the marsh.

Pop historian Harold Lamb writes that Hannibal lived "approximately one century before Caesar and one century after Alexander..." I'm fond of that little detail for some reason.

Are you living your life the way that you want to? What is one simple thing that you could add or subtract to make your life better?

Extravagance: ... from Latin extra- ‘outside’ + vagari ‘wander’. #WordOfTheDay

"I do not ask how the wounded person feels. I myself become the wounded person."

Don't bother with #Speechify. It takes forever to set up and requires a monthly fee. #WrititngCommunity #BookSky

Y'all look at the Ⓥ in my name! Thank you @foxphorescence.bsky.social my vegan heart is happy! ❤️🌱🙏 #vegan #veganfortheanimals #vegansofbluesky

Incidental: accompanying but not a major part of something. #WordOfTheDay

All of my best ideas come while walking. But funny enough, I would never do it if I didn't have a dog. #WritingCommunity

One cannot say no to time or the past.

When I wake up, I feel tired and weak and not like myself. It literally takes but a single sip of coffee for me to feel strong and capable. Is this placebo or witchcraft? I choose witchcraft. #WritingCommunity #Coffee

The older that I get, the more I realize that people do not run on logic and reasoning. You can fire facts and figures at people all day and you'll never change their mind.

I used to read through every book that I ever started (except Tristam Shandy, that one defeated me). I read the bible cover to cover. I read the entirety of Ulysses without understanding a word. Now, I DNF a book after the first page if it hits me wrong. How about you? #WritingCommunity

My friend read some of my wip and noticed some lyrics I had inserted from poems. I told her, "That's not theft, it's hommage." 'What's the difference?' she asked. "When it's theft, you're hoping nobody notices" I said. "When it's hommage, you're hoping that they do." #WritingCommunity

“Through a tree, a flower, or a stone, you can sense the Beingness that is their essence, which is also your essence.”

"Success is determined by goal oriented behaviour."

Mendacious: dishonest, untruthful, or telling lies, especially habitually. #WordOfTheDay

You know that idiot blunder that you made and never let yourself forget? Nobody else remembers it. Let it go.

Sun's out, hack's out. #HackySack

Maturing, for me, means understanding that people really do not like talking about 18th century Russian literature all that much. #BookSky

Sometimes I post things not necessarily to share with others but so that I can find it later (like this Deepak Chopra video). As a bonus, other people often enjoy it too. :P

It's my girl's birthday today. She's 11 but in her mind she is still a carefree puppy. 🥰 Happy birthday, Mia. 😘 #BabyMia #PuppersForLife
