Hold on, world ❤️

Been off the grid a bit doing some traveling, working, and generally trying not to be overwhelmed by the state of things. Prepare yourself for a steady stream of travel pics and random news 💕💕

Bertolt Brecht was a German playwright and poet who fled Nazi Germany in the 1930's. In different translations, this poem's title is sometimes "To Those Born After" and "wrongdoing" is often "misdeeds" or "horrors." No matter how it's translated, I feel this deep in my bones.

A huge thank you to @bridportprize.bsky.social and judge @christopherallen.bsky.social for honoring my flash fiction story "Anna Wonders Whether Birds Will Build a Nest With Cat Hair" with a Highly Commended Prize. Still floating on air! Pictured here Mayor Dave Bolwell and his wife Bridget.

Anyone else getting tempted to abandon a longer WIP for the quick dopamine hit of writing flash? #authors #novelinprogress #flashfictionwriters

I've arrived in the blue skies! Thank you @stillsquirrel.bsky.social
