I'm missing my mother today on Easter, so it is only fitting that my micro prose piece about her, titled "A Life", was published today.
Thanks to @thehooghlyreview.bsky.social for taking excellent care of it!

So well said, Kat! Thank you for writing this!
On Pope Francis, immigrants, and the best and worst of the Catholic Church and the U.S.
Mostly on Pope Francis and immigrants, who represent the best.
Relatedly, can I get a job that lets me go back to writing for a living?

Great great great grandpa Anton! I think of him every time my German band plays a song with that name. We get everyone to dance and chant "Anton!"
A good day to remember my great-great-great-grandfather, Swiss Guard to the Pope before emigrating to the U.S.

Speaking to supporters in Raleigh, NC Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs on Monday called for all military and overseas votes to count in her 2024 race, which is still uncalled by election officials.
Riggs, a daughter and sister of veterans, said this case is personal for her. Here's why.

Is the number of pens I found that do not work.
Not counting those in my Dumb Pen collection (which I am keeping).
In my defense, I hate having an idea and nothing to jot with.

Somehow, all my books on library hold popped at the same time. I have time to read 1 before they're due. The others will go back on hold again.
Any recommendations on which one to read?

As I transition back to daily writing (which stopped cuz of life), I'm torn whether to (a) finish first draft of novel which will require tons of brainpower to remember or (b) write new short pieces that have been brewing. Or continue (c) Angst over a vs b. Thoughts? #amwriting #writingcommunity
