Hi. Wondering if any of my #author friends here are #writing #literary or #historical #fiction. Most of you are into speculative, horror, romance, cyberpunk or porn. I like combining elements of these, mostly #noir, & musical elements. Would love to hear you #share what you're into lit-wise. Thnks

How is everyone doing? #Artists & #writers, are you #creating these days? How are you #managing your anger, frustration & sadness, which this #regime constantly aggravate? Sharing our #coping mechanisms helps. My mainstays are #yoga & #meditation. Am wondering what yours are & if they are helping.

Is anyone active here or are most people just letting their posts sit? I would imagine as we go deeper down the political rabbit hole, so to speak, we will be seeing more of one another. I hope so. Some thoughts on the current status of publishing: aryafjenkins.blogspot.com.

Well, yes I did do that. I did stand up for myself against an unfair or rather careless criticism of my book by someone who should have known better. It's not something I've ever done or expect to do again, but gosh, in this case, I couldn't resist. Happy day, folks. aryafjenkins.blogspot.com
