So, how is everybody? Considering that America is slowly turning into Nazi Germany 2.0, another flotilla trying to do what no government has the balls to do is being attacked again in a clear violation of international law & thousands are dying in a genocide? #trump #freepalestine #fascism

I recently read eight books over this month, something of a strange record for me. The last time I had such a good #reading run was when I was a young teenager. And I think my #writing is benefitting too. #writerssky #booksky About to start I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Toni Morrison.

Happy #StarWarsDay #MaytheFourthBeWithYou #MayTheForceBeWithYou day!

I'm definitely going to be listening to the John Williams and Ludwig Goransson scores today as a background for reading and/or writing. #writersky

So I just got rejected on a job application 15 MINUTES after I applied.

What in the actual...?
I'm just flabbergasted. They didn't ask for experience.

So last night via YouTube I discovered an Italian series called Prisma, and I think I'm going to have to find a way of watching the whole thing using a VPN.
Apparently, it's only on Italian Prime Video.

Why is it always after showers that I have breakthroughs? Discovered something MONUMENTAL about the book I'm outlining that sounds very exciting. #writingcommunity #Writerssky #amwriting

I'm having one of those days where I don't feel like doing anything. Looks like I'm going to have to push the brain to do SOMETHING as simple as reading to feel some sense of this day not being a waste. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #Writer #amwriting
