Eleven years ago today I discovered there's a font called Horse Puke. Probably not the best choice for an indie author to use, but I think it tops the name-that-font game, hands down.

English can be WEIRD. It can also be WIRED and inspire IRE and make you see RED. Lots of word combos here! Share a few in the comments.

PS, I used to teach ESL classes and I admire everyone who tries to tackle English. It's not easy.

Expecting edits back this week, which means this will be me next week. And the one after. And the one... so what am I doing? Writing a new story.

Agree. But to me a book is not 'flat.' It's bursting with ideas and hard work.

This is Blue Peruvian Opal, the national stone of Peru, gifted to me by a rock-hound friend today.
"Wearing or carrying Andean Blue Opal can promote emotional healing, balance the mind and body, and enhance spiritual awareness."
He knows me well.

It's a sunny day and I have my Hello Kitty vibe going. I am a GenX gal and sometimes I can't shake the cuteness. What were the 'role models' of your youth?

💙📚Still finding my way around bsky and booksky. Loving the chance to connect with other indie authors.
Found: on a recent beach trip. I so want this to be a real book. Maybe I need to write it.
