Motivation: What keeps you writing? If you keep the 'why' in mind, it helps as you sit before the blank document. I write because my ideas play like a movie in my mind. My characters aren't me, but they solve difficult problems and inspire me to do that same. #writing #booksky #writingastherapy

Sanity Check: How many of you writers are juggling an insane amount of worries with your finances? We don't make much and prices are climbing. I find the process of writing to be comforting to my stress level. How about you? #writing #booksky #stress #economy #finances

I’m not even religious but I want to go to this church 🥹 It’s so rare & so grounding for the nervous system when people actually acknowledge reality & aren’t hypocritical when they claim to care about equity or accessibility or children or non-violence

Reddit post from Inside-Specialist-55 in r/povertyfinance: "I have always went here when things were bad. This year our family could not afford anything nice for christmas dinner so we turned to a local church food bank. I have never seen the line this long at this food bank, This is 4x the size of every previous year. We have only been to this one 4 times since 2017 but this year the line wraps around the building a second time to the left behind those rows of cars. Everyone is freezing and an older lady in line had to be taken inside because she looked like she was about to pass out from being too cold and shivering. If this is a sign that America isnt doing well IDK what is. I am in a small town in Kentucky with a population of less than 4,800 people. Literally 10% or more of the county residents are here. This is insane."

This is your December reminder that it's absolutely acceptable to try and get to a set annual book goal by cramming in as many novellas and cookbooks as you can find before Christmas swallows you up! #booksky 💙📚

Thank you every single veteran!

If you feel lost today for fighting for a country that's losing democracy, it's ok. We will stand up for you and get democracy back. I honor you all. Especially Vietnam Vets who were not welcomed home. Thank you for defending our home!

It’s only a year since we came to live in North East England, so I don’t know whether it’s unusual to have the late summer garden flowers still going in mid-November?
It’s nice to retain a bit of summer colour in the garden, but rather unexpected! xx #gardening
