It was a dark
And stormy night.

"Best put on my #raincoat
And galoshes," I said staring at the rain drenched pavement and wishing wistfully for a spring day full of sunshine as if I gave a toss about anything.

Being Gen X, however, I opted to watch telly and eat soup from the can.

When the climax of your book surprises you ... and you're the one who wrote it. Author problems. Lol.

Wish I could write the denouement tonight but looking at the screen with my migraine is not happening. Sigh.

Lubec. It's only open Fri and Sat for 2 hours each day. Better than anywhere I lived in Europe even...

Pretty sure I'm entering bread coma stage...both almond croissant and pain du chocolat have been consumed... they were lovely.

Me @ewiggins66.bsky.social · 1d

Sorry...got excited and started eating. Found out today the bakery is open year-round and we can pre-order. This is very exciting news. Our world is governed by tourist season and the winter freeze. Not much stays open year-round...and this bakery is heaven. #Maine

This particular
#Instance propelled me to #write
With a fervid #verve

He held secateurs
Golden curls between the blades
Threats hanging like fog

The estate at large
I penned verse and line with care
Left nothing to Chance

...if only he could read

Baby girl (she's 9) refused her supper so she got a peanut butter sandwich, crab rangoon from my dinner, and gummy skittles.

We ran out of dog food last week so they'd been getting oatmeal with fresh fish and veggies so now they don't want to eat their regular food. Sigh.

Me @ewiggins66.bsky.social · 2d

That's a thought...
I settled on a read-thru/edit of my Victorian one. I just need to write the final climax and denouement for it and it will be ready for a beta reader or two.

Settled for a read-thru/edit of my Victorian novel...

Me @ewiggins66.bsky.social · 2d

61k into my spy novel and I am stuck.

Do I go back to my Victorian girls school at 92k or start the new one scratching at my brain?

*scrolls document file*

Geez, if I'd ever finish anything I could sub 10 novels at once... 🤷

A #libertine
From the start
I guess
I asked too many
Questions
How do we know?
Why do we believe that?
Who decided that was true?
Where does it say that?
Why...
are you
mad
at me?

Look, i don't have a tablet you can borrow and if you call me after midnight and I don't know you, it's an automatic blocked number... unless, of course, you're the one person from the UK that I want to randomly hear from but is highly unlikely to ever happen. Kay. Thanks.

Goodnight.

*supper tonight*

Chicken and sweet potato stew with cannellini beans, tomato, sweet pepper relish, and rice. Made it up from bits and pieces I had in the pantry. Satisfies the chef-y bit of me.

The song of #sonder
Rings out in thunder

The lightning
It cries
A bell tolled

Living
Dead

Past
