Writing & Editing

@wrtrstat.bsky.social

Writing: Sometimes as authors we just have to sit our butts down and write. #amwriting #amediting Not everyone will understand. And that's ok. Keep Writing. -Wrtr #author #writing

He said, "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." - Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit (Treasured Illustrated Classics)

I was excited to discover a fast growing new plant ready to bloom all over my garden 🏡
When I checked the leaf app...
Invasive garlic mustard 😬
Vigorous weed pulling ensued
Pretty leaf & flowers with seemingly useful applications, but not today.
Curious to know if people use it ornamentally.
