After years of taking sunset photos on the coast, they all started to seem the same but looking back now, I can see the differences in the cloud formations, the waves, the streaks of light. Each was unique, even if I didn't see it at the time.

tigger from winnie the pooh is dancing in front of a wall ALT: tigger from winnie the pooh is dancing in front of a wall

and I'm over here like, "Oh! Evans to the 49ers, what's that going to mean for the NFC West overall and specifically for the Seahawks?!"

I am also a grandparent born in 1966. But I'm only 59.

"ONE generation ago" would (technically) be the mid to late 90's. Even if they're talking twice that long, I still call BS. Both of my grandparents worked full time jobs through their retirement in the 70's.

Not thrilled about having Evans in the NFC West but he's not the threat he used to be so *knocking on wood* it should be fine. Toss Riq on him and see what happens. ๐Ÿ˜

The manuscript I thought was done really isn't done and I have an idea of what I want to do to get it to be done but everything I've done isn't working. So it's not done, isn't going to be done and now I'm kind of done. For today.

This is one of my favorite games I just started playing. I'm terrible at it but it's fun. And they have unlimited practice games so I don't have to wait to play another if I want.

Ha! I was updating a scene last night where a side character, who is a writer, killed off a character and his editor threw a fit and made him "un-kill" them.

Same. I totally get why someone won't read 3rd because I almost refuse to read 1st. Mostly because they are so badly written these days. The combination of 1st POV, AI writing, and trope saturation has put me off trying most new romance writers. I prefer close 3rd and that's what I tend to write.

I live in California now and I'm shocked with people pick poppies because picking bluebonnets is illegal.

It's gated but I can guess based on the teaser and comments here. In a reader group recently someone said they can't see themselves as the MC unless it's written in 1st POV. Having never thought of myself as the MC when I read, that's just an odd take to me but it seems to be the norm now.

Hey #writersky! Talk to me about developmental editors and your process for working with them, please. I'm going to pull one in for the manuscript I thought was done but now realizing has some issues I need help to resolve. What should I expect in the process?

Car is back in the shop for the third time now. The steering rack failed again. Yesterday they realized that it may be the power steering pump is bad and that's what's causing these repeated failures. I asked the other two times if it could be the pump, and they said no. ๐Ÿ˜

For some strange reason I woke up an hour earlier than usual this morning so I was wide awake at 7 wondering if I'd gotten it wrong and we "fell back" instead of "springing forward". I still have no idea what time it really is but I'm ready for lunch!

I have a very clear memory from when I was 9 years old and we were driving in the procession to the cemetery after my grandfather's funeral. A man on the side of the road took his cap off and just stood there with is head bowed as we drove by. Respect from a stranger for a stranger. As it should be.

It's another beautiful day in #sanfrancisco. Should get up to 70 today which means the sun is shining and all the doors and windows are open! Today's playlist is whatever is blasting out of the cars that drive by and it's a wonderfully diverse mix so far today! Happy Sunday

One of the things I like most about Bluesky is how encouraging people are to artists and writers. I've seen way more people say "Post your stuff and let us celebrate with you" then people saying not to. So post your stuff! Oh, and tag #booksky or use ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š so readers see you, and not just writers.
