After heartbreaking weeks, bringing the submissions down to 89, @rhonagreene.bsky.social & myself wanted to nominate all 89 as they are all truly remarkable, our visual artists too!

Tomorrow, we will toast 6 but celebrate 89, it’s been an honour 💙

The beautiful slick magazine, The Storms, from Dublin arrived. They paid very well for the use of images of two of my paintings. Thank goodness for organizations that support the arts. #painting #art @eatthestorms.com

The Zoom launch was wonderful! Thank you Damien and Rhona. I was so thrilled to take part in it--amongst such brilliant writers! 💙
The cork has been popped, the Storm has taken flight, made land, been opened, read aloud, supported via live launch, Podcast & zoom launch.

@rhonagreene.bsky.social & myself have truly had the best adventure.

Days are made of moments & storms like this are made of such magical moments 💙
