Downward ‘possum might not be a traditional yoga pose but Shadow, Twig and Flapjack are trying to change that.

The banner image on my profile is the woods where I grew up. It makes me smile every time I look at the photo. I love where I live now, but I will never not miss where I grew up. My only regret about moving away is that we don't have teleporters yet,

If you don’t like to write and need a plagiarism machine to help you come up with ideas, have you considered maybe writing is not for you? 🤔
So call me old fashioned, but when I see writers in private groups talking about how they use AI programs to write/plot/brainstorm/worldbuild, I know I don't need to bother giving them a damn penny of my money.
So that helps.
