Morning, blueskyfolk. Does any HUMAN here have Canadian experience writing & illustrating a children's book (reading level grade 2-3)?
~grace & inspiration to you all~

Never Sell

cut me down, my shoots will grow
scatter me, my seeds will blow
and live to curse the killing hand
you should never have sold my land

the latest twist in my hate:hate relationship with digitization has me posting SCRATCHY recordings of my songs on youtube. mid-life OH just keep that to yourself. Anyway, if you've seen my lyrics on bsky & wondered how the tune goes... @ laurie-writes-songs

now war
would make his company rich
while he strips our souls of every last stitch
hold on - hold on - that's no way to live
hold on, war is no way to live

so if he speaks the words of angels
but does not love - he does not love -
remember, he is: nothing

Hi bluesky - still here, just busy with the stuff of life which transmogrifies into the writing of life

the break-neck pace of world news leaves me beset with plot ideas. 1 Hippie retiree "snowbirds" who accidentally defeat fascism in their thoroughly self-absorbed ignorance. 2 Narco rivals whose political machinations lead to the closure of a draconian detention centre.

ahhh, like a deep breath of bluesky, reading the jotted notes & notions of my fellow word wranglers. thank you for being the optimistic invisible friend i didn't know i needed

"peri-historic fiction", because why not make up a genre AND draft a novel? There's probably a name for this category already. Yup

latest song chorus:

when the night leaves you thirsty
I can't watch it kill you softly

dropping it at the pub was hopefully not offside

making my music hearable: livestreamed a BUNCH of my songs today with vital help from cerra_alba , on twitch. Wretched sound quality, but great in so many other ways for me, hopefully for listeners too.
digital footprint massive step forward? something like that

simple goal: make a website where i present my creative whatever, writing, songs, art, etc. Then I can promote it here in #writingcommunity
complicated truth: this has been top of my "do it!" list for about 4 years

I sang a song in D, and finally found the key
to explain the way we made our misery
Why did we pick hate over love?
the answer's D, all of the above

final verse in a new 4-key song ready for Open Mic. It makes no sense alone, but who does? shy about your tunes? Share them anyway

"don't be fooled by hate; no one is saved alone"
José (Pepe) Mujica, former president of Uruguay
A timely reminder that decency and leadership CAN coexist, and an inspiration to write something as lovely as this man's end-of-life words

May this offering appease the Gatekeeper and allow me to murmurate among the creatives kiting the #bluesky

Sloshing between moons
pulled by love. Productive writing while doing all the relational life stuff is oil and water so back to the coast i go.

ctrl-alt-del, the last resort as my writing needs a re-boot. Like too many open browser windows, colliding crises in the lives around me snarled the flow. Unable to collate, this hardware is heading to the beach

bluesky seems a little further from reach than when I joined a few months back but I still like the vibe. This is the only social media platform I'm on, but before I ditch here too let me try one last time to save the world:

stop shopping

sidhttw #4, which is the outer wrapper for #1 :
a writer creates the scenario in #1 and launches it into the anonymous creative embrace of bluesky, hoping someone with coding skills will be inspired and society will rediscover what facetime means.

Rivers/watersheds as defining the cultural map of North America, somewhat still true today although it sounds like/relates to a previous system. We are of our landscape - this is how people.

an unexciting seaside village harbours a collective superpower: the regular townsfolk all become riveting musicians after dark. the catch: the phenomenon defies technological attempts to capture it - everyone just looks like a fisherman or realtor etc on video. live music lives

another song for next open mic:

hey avatar, whoever you are
hash tag "i don't care"
i see you while the machine pretends you're not there
everyone belongs somewhere
here, on Earth, we live
get real, get back to the world with everything
