Every Artist Should Watch This. You don't have to be a Swiftie to hear the wisdom in what Taylor says. #artistlife #writingcommunity www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Kx...

I'm sure this has been talked about a bunch since it went live, but damned if it didn't hit me in the feels. Some of the observations were a little too spot on. Any other #GenX ers feel the same? www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6IO...

A brilliant actor and by all accounts a great human being. A tremendous loss. Godspeed Bob. #RobertDuVall ktla.com/entertainmen...

Sending my sincere condolences to the family and friends of James Van Der Beek. A tragic loss of a wonderfully talented man. And a reminder to everyone to schedule a colonoscopy as soon as you can. Take care of yourselves.

I will be joining the National General Strike on Friday, January 30, 2026. In solidarity with others who have reached the moment where 'Enough is Enough." nationalshutdown.org #NationalProtest #GeneralStrike #ShutItDown

Sad news I just saw. Actor Richard Dimitri passed away last month. "Johnny Dangerously" was--and still is--one of my favorite movies, and his performance as Roman Moroni was pure comedic genius. Godspeed. #RIP #Movies www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

This is so sad. I have nothing against Ingram at all but no competition is never a good thing. B&T were essential for libraries, this just sucks on all counts. #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Libraries #Sad www.npr.org/2026/01/07/n...

I don't know if I am paraphrasing this, or stealing it outright, or if I came up with it myself, but I think about this a lot whenever I begin something new: "Writing is just thinking out loud, and then removing the parts where you're trying too hard." #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Just a little something I wrote to help me deal with the last few days. I call it "Numb" #WritingCommunity #Healing #ProsePoem

What the hell is going on in the world? No more hate. 😢

As I writer, if you've gotten a poor review and you are fretting over it. Don't. I just read a one-star review of Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar" in which the reviewer called it an "AI Book." So, I don't place much stock in book reviews anymore. 😉 #BookSky #WritingCommunity #WritersLife

If anyone asks I’ll be listening to the new #TaylorSwift Atmos mixes on Apple Music all day. New reputation lyrics! 🤡 #Swiftie #Clowning

Even a kind word or mention helps. One of the real eye openers for me entering this industry was that the writing and editing wouldn't be the hardest part. It would be getting anyone to care.

If you'll forgive a small bit of self-indulgence... My debut novel has launched and is available starting today! Thank you to everyone who played a role in its creation, no matter how small. #BookSky #NovelLaunch #DebutNovel #DreamComeTrue

Today's Goal: Researching the slang from the early 1960s for the short story I am working on. 😁

That feeling when you get the first #Goodreads review for your new novel and it's 5 stars.

Hello BlueSky! I hope to make this my new home for short updates and postings. I left "the other place" some time ago. My debut novel "The Family" will be published on December 9th, 2025. You can get it anywhere books are sold. I'm looking forward to more posts here. The air seems a lot clearer.
