Day 9 MOTW - how do you recharge?
For me?
Bodyboarding heals my soul.
And we're live as geriatric millenials who love writing things.

I have a friend in Ohio who said gas from $2.93 to $3.49.
Can you say, brace yourself?
Something different I’ve been doing on my Substack is to offer Writer Meditations. The latest meditation is about Writing in Times of Turmoil. Unplanned, though definitely relevant.

March of the Writers Day 3 is about Cover stars and guess what, I don't always have a budget. So, I've used Canva to do cost effective covers for my books.
Never used AI for covers and no intention of starting ever.

Very thankful for everyone who has picked up some of my books.
It's been quite a slow going in 2026 so it's nice to see some movement.
Big cheers and my thanks for letting me be part of your TBR.

If you're needing the topics for March of the Writers, No worries. I gotcha.
Also, only rules are enjoy, do this however it feels right, respect others, and connect.
Much love

Some people are so devout yet SO awful. A person’s character is what makes them good or bad.
I’m happy that’s your takeaway. And it’s only complicated in the sense that it’s two pronged. I want people happy. How they live in regard to sexuality is none of my business though I will always recognize and value it. The fear mongering and hatefulness we still see makes no sense to me.
I think these are times where we need to be clear where we stand on a lot of things. I didn't gain additional clarity though if someone wants to make a joke in poor taste or just be an ass, the block is justified. NO sense trying to talk sense.
Today's Writer Meditation is a bit on the nose - Writing in Times of Turmoil. Unplanned with what's going on, though quite relevant.
Wishing you and yours well during these times.

It is so clearly toxic and idiotic……… and destructive.
I wrote about sexuality this week and a couple of days after; at war because insecure idiits need to compensate.
Here’s to giving our best regardless
The overabundance of pisspoor examples of toxic (and weak) masculinity feels like it’s at an all time high.
I’d say do better, but for that, I’d need to believe in the possibility of it…which I don’t.
Today’s Substack is about human sexuality and how I care and I don’t.

If we want a better future, here are 3 movies most teens should watch:
American History X
Kids
Requiem for a Dream
Today on my Substack, we talk about how negative energy can help you create. Lord knows, these days we have plenty of that type of energy going around. Still, we can let it wreck us or we can channel it and do something productive, because we always have a choice.

Did I love Bad Bunny’s Tiny Desk?
Hell yes.
That said, the one from PJ Sin Suela is among my favorites.
Don’t snooze on this guy.
Another top talent.

Either I’m finally getting traction on my Substack or the bots found me.
Either way, you can also join the organic fun 😉
Much love.

Someone asked if I plan to translate Penumbra, my Spanish dark short story collection.
Although I once considered it, it was written to capture a genuine Puerto Rican experience.
So it's a No, but fret not...future projects in English will have PR flavor.

I see people curious about Puerto Rico.
About history.
Wanting to learn how to dance salsa.
Wanting to learn Spanish.
Wanting to enjoy JOY.
It’s been a while since I saw a good pulse of that energy.
I’ll focus on the joy and do my best to answer any questions people have about PR.
Un abrazo.
Having goals is a healthy thing.
Even in times like this.
So I made some goals for my Substack.
Because every person who subscribes, reads, and supports is part of my writer journey.
Thank you for the support and for letting me dream big.

Last night was about togetherness, unity, and being welcome.
No notes.
Full pride.

Llorar de felicidad siempre es bueno.
En 2026, es oro.
Aunque las Olimpiadas son en Italia, el halftime show brilló intenso.
@masummer.bsky.social Thanks for the share and all the good vibes and support, my friend. Much love always. And PR is always waiting with warm wishes :)
As I continue developing some projects, part of my plan is to continue growing my Substack.
38 posts already available, more to come as well as other projects specifically for this platform.
Care to venture a guess of some of my goals?

When it rains for more than a couple of days in Puerto Rico, there are signs. Here’s to enjoying rainy days, smiling regardless, and for the sun to come out tomorrow-tomorrow. #Grinch apparel courtesy of my Secret Santa, Sylvette who was able to contribute to my #SockItTome collection and then some
In times like these, some people may question whether they should create or not. I’ll always be Team Create because it gives us direction, purpose, and something to do instead of doom scroll. Today’s Substack talks about writing in times of trouble.

Last night, Bad Bunny made history winning album of the year.
First All Spanish album to win this award since the inception of the Grammys.
Quite the achievement and then some.
Peace, love, and Pitorro de Coco
