Here in Canada they were almost unknown. I still love the song Starsign.

The Truth Begins Here - Part 2

In Part 2, Gabby and Dan dig deeper into accountability, safety, and trust in naturist spaces, exposing troubling behavior, community concerns, and AANR’s silence while calling for real action in defense of ethical naturism.

You'd have to meet him...

Not at all! I sincerely appreciated it. And yes, dogs... Well they have good days sometimes at least!

Good on you for working through the headache. Great job pushing the wordcount on a rough day!

Again I am shocked by what a positive and supportive #writingcommunity we have on #writesky. I put up a wordcount post purely for myself and I have writers from all over commenting and liking. I love it here. Thank you fellow writers!

We had fish and chips and it was very disappointing. Ah well!

In retrospect it was! The other dog is older and she's very well-behaved now. I wish he would pick up some tips from her.

But yes, I have to think about the positives. I appreciate the reminder!

Not at this moment, but I'll drop you a line if I'm looking!

Thank you! I can get 2000 in a day without a problem if things are going well... but yes, I'm making progress so I can't complain.

Thank you! One of those situations where I'm glad I got as far as I did, but wish it were farther...

Oh! He got around a barrier and stole a winter decoration that was to be put away, and absconded with it into the backyard. The poor snowman. Sigh.

Choffee is great! It's definitely the human buzz that I like at Starbucks - not paying a premium for okay coffee. (They do provide free refills if you're having your coffee there, tho - a policy I love to abuse ruthlessly.)

It's so true. But some dogs are more idiotic than others! I still love him though, that's for sure.

That's a very kind way to look at it. Thank you!

Today I didn't have as much writing time as I had hoped, and the weather is gloomy, and my back is sore and one of my dogs is an idiot. But I still got 1100 words written. It was a grind, but another chapter is done. Phew. Celebrating by ordering dinner! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

You're *sure* the solution isn't more coffee?

I'm going to try more coffee. Will report back with findings.

Hey, a CAA author! I remembered seeing your book in the Communique. Good luck with the signings - go sell a pile of books!

Fingers crossed! I'm just going to move forward and hopefully she'll fix it "in post"...

Thanks - I'm trying!

A bit of both. It's a bit too internal for the POV character and the dialogue is sporadic and uneven. But I think the purpose of the scene works well - I wasn't even sure diving in whether it was a usable scene. I'll take the partial win, no question... And I have a good editor!

Thank you! I'm planning to get more words in tomorrow though. :)

Some days the writing just isn't good. I spent the afternoon grinding out 700 words and I don't even think it's very good. The ideas are fine but I suspect the scene will need a total rewrite.

But that's just writing for you. Forward progress matters! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Feels like every layer you peel off the NNN onion, the more it stinks.

Indeed, and it was brought back into the Nazi fold (co-opted) only a few years later... but at the same time, allying with Goering and "that oddball Hitler" didn't age very well, and probably sounded a bit weak even before December 7, 1941.

I'm learning a lot with my naturist research work! Here's a word that you probably know, but would want to drop into informal conversation some time: ecdyasist.

It means strip tease performer. But it sure classes up the idea, doesn't it?

Hang in there. I've been struggling too. Hope you see the other side soon.
