It was a Thanksgiving bounty!! A feast of words, if you will.

Here’s my one breathless paragraph written in your writing workshop & published in Cleaver!! www.cleavermagazine.com/its-a-mother...

(Forgive the self promotion.)😎

I really loved that photo! And the issue, of course!!

Never seen this company before but after checking out their inventory, my crafty feathers went all aflutter.

Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks so much for reminding me of this exchange so many years later. 💕

Reading it now! Chock full of fresh revision ideas!!

Fantastic idea & generous opportunity for university students!

“Such abandoned lonely places” ❤️

When I began writing, my stories lacked details about scenery, physical traits, and all that world building hoopla. Why? Because I’d skipped over it when I read, choosing like you, to follow the plot. Now, when I write, I close my eyes & imagine the place — look around, see what my characters see.

A stunner. Resurrected memories of when I’d walked through my parents home for the last time before it was cleared of everything preparing for its sale. 💔

Ooh. Loved this story! Such a believable world an unexpected ending.

Wow! Congrats!! Very cool!!

Wow!! Such fantastic news!!

I read this!! And WHAT a story!!

Until I started reading @doesithavepockets.bsky.social slush pile, I never noticed how much certain phrases and words popped up everywhere. Bonus: It’s improved my writing —I cringe when I read overused words when I’m revising my work and quickly strike them.

Well, now, you just inspired me to buy his book! Thanks for that!!

Been sharing with friends.
