Progress (and success? Whatever that means for the individual #writer) with #writing really is down to perseverance, discipline and luck..
Not that I would know.. but that's what my writing course teacher said recently. She was brilliant. Wish I could do another few weeks of that course

Had to repost this. Not my finest artwork but my 6 year old & my husband recently revealed they like it. In fact my 6 year old requested I put it up on the wall in his room.. No higher honour than that tbh. No #art critic is gonna look at my paintings or love them but I am so chuffed my boy likes it
Sunday afternoon #art experiments.

No better therapy than art therapy.
I realise now I am obsessed with seascapes when it comes to art. Something about the versatility of movement and how the state of the sea can reflect the emotions of the painter, or onlooker, or both. Or just the light

I’ll spare you the rest of Trump’s statement where he calls Tim Waltz the R-word & hate mongers immigrants—
On a day meant for gratitude, he ranted about “vermin,” & vengeance. It’s the clearest reminder yet — there is no moral bottom too low or autocratic line he won’t cross

Alexithymia isn’t lack of emotion.
It’s emotion without translation.
The feelings are there.
The map isn’t.
And yet autistic people blame themselves for being “numb.”
You’re not numb - you’re flooded.
Your body is speaking a language you were never taught.

More than inspiration, writing a book requires discipline.
There are days I feel highly driven, only to get nowhere. Similarly, there are mornings I feel off, yet end up making massive leaps.
If you want progress, don’t trust your feelings.

A few days old but still as funny as ever.
Respect for posting the perfect reply to another one of his unhinged exclamations.
The fact that #Greta still gets under his skin says it all.
If I were her, I would wear that "troublemaker" badge he bestowed upon her with pride.
