I am grateful every day to be living in Scotland. For political reasons, definitely. And then there’s this. Loch Lomond is half an hour away from us, but it feels like the edge of the world. And I love a getaway that doubles as a research trip! #Scotland #adventuretravel #writingcommunity

THE WIZARD OF OZ is one of the greatest film examples of: 1)
The Heroine’s Journey story structure. 2) Jungian archetypes.
3: Anti-totalitarian movies from the last fascist swell of history AND - a great textbook for us writers to look at for how to fight the current one. #classicmovies #filmsky

"The apex of Republicans’ plan to turn over our government to their wealthy cronies is a giant tax cut for billionaires & corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on. Popular & necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP - are all being targeted."

I'm in— California, Oregon, and Washington state have been invited to join Canada. In a tongue-in-cheek proclamation, Canadian Member of Parliament Elizabeth May suggested the three states could get “free healthcare” & “safe streets” by abandoning the US and joining Canada as their newest province.

Even if you’re not a romance writer, there are very few books or scripts that don’t have love plots, at least subplots—and who doesn’t want to up their love story game? More on Screenwriting Tricks for Authors: alexandrasokoloff.substack.com

The U.S. govt. under the felon has just revoked the 60 yr-old executive order that protects equal opportunity in employment & called for an end to all DEI programs. The Pentagon & State Department will not be recognizing #BlackHistoryMonth. I plan to post essential US history every day.

Bishop Marianne Budde directly addressed the least Christian president the US has ever had in her sermon at the National Cathedral, Inaugural prayer service with this powerful plea: "In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now..."

My comfort watch right now is Call My Agent! (Dix Pour Cent) – a perfect, charming, sexy comedy that finds heart and a true passion for movies in a cynical business. Bonus: it’s great French practice!
