I rarely make statement about what ppl should or shouldn't do, but this one seems like a sound question anyone can ask themselves about their cast of mind: contempt or contentment?

Yeah, the world is kinda unhinged right now. But hope isn’t fairy dust. It makes the heart more loving, lighter and stronger.

As writers, it's important that we keep thinking outside the bot.

Never forget, as writers, we have more influence than we may realize. We have the power to put love, hope, goodness and a vision for a better world into words. Blessings to us all.

This account attempted to catfish me by impersonating you. I reported it to Bluesky & posted a warning on my profile.
I knew I was being catfished when I saw your brilliant writing. It would be ludicrous to think that you would ask to swap pages with this unknown.

Writers beware!

FlüsterndeNina @booksforeverr.bsky.social is impersonating author Nina George on Bluesky, offering to swap chapters. Nina George warns on her official site that this is a scam. The real author's account: ‪@ninageorgenovelist.bsky.social‬

Lilla and I slow-hike the Pacific Northwest coast, holding hands. She touches leaves, calls to birds, breathes in green scents with bliss. “Isn’t this great?” Her smile is wide. Heat drops through the canopy, bringing moisture to her lip. I lean in—wait, I’m the writer! She’s kissing Sydney, not me.

Is this not just perfect?

“You don’t want to hear the story
of my life, and anyway
I don’t want to tell it, I want to listen

to the enormous waterfalls of the sun."

What big thing did I learn from my characters while writing my current romance novel? I thought I knew how they’d feel at certain points—but when we got there, they were deeper than me. I had to listen closely and humbly to what they were actually going through, and what they needed to say about it.

Finished my first draft and felt so peaceful--
for a day! One day, people!

Am I wrong? Tired of all the literary writing that laments the meaninglessness of modern Life. Okay then, take it as a given already. And then *make* meaning. Otherwise, this is just wallowing.

Just dropped my first Medium.com essay this year. It's a callback to my NYE message for 2025. It’s giving a soft boi summer debrief, and some ‘how do we heal / what do we do’ energy.”

By moving from oppositional to additive writing, writing becomes a place of healing and integration.

Sydney, one of the love interests in my book. Externalizing what they look like helps me write them. Interestingly, they keep subtly changing.

Almost done with draft 1 and rewrites have begun. I'm learning that revisions aren't simply a flesh-out/fill in & clean-up job. They're an emotional, spiritual, psychological, and philosophical, emergent discovery process. So thrilling🧡🍊

Just some of my family. Listening to chapter 49 and loving it, hahaha, because that's where all the good things are coming together.

To me, writing feels like patterning.
A feeling arises, then its resonance.
Structure lives not in plot as sequence,
but emerges as a relational field,
gathering meaning.

A writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, or because everything she does is golden. A writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway." Junot Díaz

Biden said "Don't question the motive, question the action," worked for him in politics, yet the bad guys won.
Now, let's admit that the dominant US actors are operating in bad faith. And let that motivate love and compassion—
for the victims, for the planet, for ourselves.

Needed now: Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

Congrats Canada 🇨🇦
& Australia 🇦🇺. And thank you, Australians 🦘💗and Canadians 🦫🐴💗.
The people of two major nations did not allow a move to the right. What a relief!
