I gave you all the light I had,
My heart an open door.
Each word I spoke was quietly yours,
Though you asked for nothing more.

The seasons passed, the silence stayed,
My hope grew frail, then torn.
You never noticed I was yours—

Heart broke hit the floor
guess you loved the wrong person
but damn did you love

I cry sometimes, quietly—
because I don’t know how to explain
that not doing something
takes more effort
than doing it.

Happy Sunday! A little writing motivation from us today. A while back, we interviewed 25 debut (at the time!) authors on their top advice for writers seeking to get published. Here's what the first 5 said... 🧵

Stories are more than just words; they are a part of who we are. The act of telling—of sharing—brings release, understanding, and connection.

Don’t let your story remain untold. Your voice matters, and the world deserves to hear it.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚
