What's up my fine followers and not followers?

It is I, the nerd so nerdy that instead of being born on my granma's birthday, I arrived on May the 4th (be with you)

I'll be grumpy about being 45 later.

Do me a solid and share my art? <3 these are my favs.

Watercolor of a girl in a pink dress and blonde hair with her hands on the head of a forest deer. Branches spiral from its antlers. Older painting of a girl and deer in similar pose to the other. It's sad instead of wistful. With some bones and birds in the landscape. Blue watercolor of a woman under a tree. Very blue with pale green light. She's stone white, dipping her toe into water with a little bit of pink. A pink worm like dragon is peering over a girl's shoulder while she is reading a book. No idea if she is aware the dragon is there

Warm sunset fox for the book Fox Went Searching

The story follows a curious fox journeying through the night to find the sun. It's been a such a fun project to work on with author Doug Bedwell! The book is on KS (final two days!)

So far on bsky, I've been mostly talking about my upcoming children's book, so I thought I'd mix things up a bit this time.

This is "Universal Appeal" from one of my books of poetry; it's not widely available, but it seemed like a good place to start.

#poetry #writer #indiesky
(Image, showing the text of the poem, as follows) -Universal Appeal- Most people won't like it whatever it is, whether ink on a page, or dots on a screen, or words or sounds or silence, or movement on an open stage. Whether it lies in that great divide between Hemingway and Faulkner, between Plautus and Poe, between Monet and Mondrian, between Chekhov and Chaucer, between Shakespeare and Shaw. The won't like it. That's a truth you must swallow, but it is not all that you need to know. Consider also this: Some will. © Doug Bedwell, 2019 "Quiet Things and Other Poems"

First post!!

Still finding my footing here on bsky. I'm an indie author, and I expect most of my posts here will be related to my writing, in one way or another.

I have a children's book coming out this summer, "Fox Went Searching", and I'm sure I'll be talking a lot more about that, very soon.🦊📘
