So far, I’m not vibing with Blue Sky.
What am I doing wrong? It’s all going so much better on Threads.
I’m a writer, author & book editor who runs a writers group online and in real life.
I’m launching my writing workshops in the New Year & I like to take photos of the seaside.
Any advice?

I’m also a journalist with many years in media under my belt, so this is a world I know.
