TIL that after King Midas’ golden curse was removed by washing his hands in a river, he became a hippy.

He followed Pan, lived off the land, wove flowers into his hair, and even attended a music festival.

I will self publish my 1st novel this year (Historical Fic.)
I have a Sweet Bride. ♥️
I promote writers and diversity.

I like suicide jokes. This is my blog about how they helped me through the hardest time in my life and how they influenced my first book.

I made this with the help of a bunch of authors. It was a fun hobby project.

As promised, here is my blog on #scams that target #authors. If it helps even one person, I have done my job. I am disgusted by the people perpetuating these. Stay safe out there.

Hi all. I'm writing a blog post about scams aimed at authors. If it can help even one person, my job is done.

If you are willing to share a story, sentiment, warning, or anything else, feel free to post it here or DM me anonymously. (I am not open to discussing anything else via DM.)

First Question of the Day
Did you get anything really good for Xmas?

Me: I got a carving knife and meat fork. It's the first time in years my F'd-up hand didn't hurt after slicing prime rib. (Oh, and I also got prime rib. 😀)

Eggnog. Smash or pass?

Me: I would smash, but can't because of a diet. Oh well.

Seeing other authors succeed always helps me feel like I can achieve my goals. Their wins remind I can excel even if,
- The right words won't come,
- I fall behind my "schedule,"
- Life gets in the way of writing,
- Sales slump, or
- Health hinders my progress.

I can succeed.

I have two main vices:
1. Letting my dog onto the bed.
2. Writing.

I forgot to post last night's sunset here. I was grateful to be the passenger because it gave me time to enjoy it.

First Question of the Day
Do you send emails/texts to yourself with notes or reminders?

The horizon blazes in whispers—
orange flames, pink embers,
soft against the chill of dawn.

Bare trees, their skeletons etched in onyx,
reach like quiet sentinels,
holding the sky’s fleeting promise.

Above Boulder, the morning unfolds,
a masterpiece of stillness,
its allure spoken in silence.
