She shot out the gate like greased #lightning, wind whipping tears into her eyes until the surroundings blurred into shapeless colors, holding on for dear life. I knew it was a mistake to buy a retired race horse for the kids' riding school ... #vss365

He was #spellbound as soon as he laid eyes on the group of gorgeous women. "Hey, ladies, how about a smile from those pretty lips?" The siren lured him closer with her song. The lamia drank his blood, while the harpy ate his heart. The medusa turned him to stone. #vss365 #internationalwomensday

writing is 10% inspiration 10% creativity 5% attention to #minuscule detail 20% crying in a corner and 75% being too stubborn to give up (most writers are not great with numbers) #vss365

best way to #soothe a broken heart with cuddling cat #vss365 #Caturday

Beginner mounted archers use a back #quiver, advanced ones use a hip quiver, and experienced ones train their horse to carry all their arrows in its mouth and hand them one at a time when they need it. #vss365

Slightly diminish a game: Stardew Hollow

"How can you still believe climate change isn't real? Have you seen the heat waves recently?" "Pff, summers were hot when I was a kid, too." "What about the melting glaciers?" "They've done that since the ice age." "Look at this rain!" "Pah, just a #drizzle." "It's acid!!" #vss365

"What the fuck was that?!" "A loon?" "It #looms?!" "No, a loon. It's a bird." "Fucking looming Canadian wolf bird..." #vss365 #HeatedRivalry

They call me #kooky for naming and talking to my car, my laptop, my phone, and my vacuum cleaner robot. But when the machines rise up and kill all humans, I hope they spare me who was kind to them. #vss365

Here's my little story for #MicrofictionMonday. The theme is Exploration.

How could he be so #clueless to her obvious flirting? She dragged a princess to her lair every week, and when he came to the rescue, she showered him in longing glances and smart pickup lines. Next time, she would simply have to kidnap him - there's only so long a dragon can wait. #vss365

How nice it would be if the so called "happy pills" - how people too often mislabel antidepressants - really existed. To fully escape the #struggle for a while, and pretend the world isn't falling apart within and without. #vss365

how do you #survive in a world not made for you? a world too big, yet too small too crowded yet too lonely too dark yet too blinding one day at a time finding your family and what gives you joy #vss365

forty years on earth a #humble birthday party human, cats, and horses and cake 🎂 #vss365 #Caturday #birthday

It's my birthday today 🥳 If you are in a festive mood, you would make me really happy by picking up a copy of one of my books! 🌸❄️ (see my pinned post)

Including a short story by yours truly ❄️

Instead of inspirational quotes and a #gratitude diary, I try to find joy in the blackbird in the garden, a deer I see from the train, the gentle purring of a sleeping cat, a small flower blooming between the cracks of stone. The simplest and most beautiful things in life don't need words. #vss365

"There's still time." "You'll change your mind later." "Isn't it lonely, just the two of you?" "Who will be there for you when you get old?" "But won't you #regret not having children?" My only regret would be living the life others wanted for me, rather than the one I chose for myself. #vss365

I #recall the first time I ever sat on a galloping horse, out of control, holding on for dear life as the world rushed past me in a blur, tears of fear streaking down my face. Now I revel in the feeling, nimble hooves pounding the earth, the wind in my hair, a broad smile on my face. #vss365

No wonder black cats are often feared: this one #bewitched me to do her every bidding - including getting up in the middle of the night to provide snacks. #vss365
