I've been told to only have one in five of your posts actually be about what you are trying to promote. The other posts should be about you, shares etc. Try to have some funny posts too. I am terrible at it!

I'm begging for engagement on my satirical short story. I promise it's funny and well written. I'm trying to change the world with my novel and need to get agents' attention. Thank you! #Canada #satire #politics #amquerying #writingcommunity #dumptrump #politicalsatire

Not necessarily books, but stories in general. Some concepts blow my mind and the organization it would take to keep everything straight is incredible. My novel is so straightforward, lol.

I took this at the women's march in 2017. Applies just as much today as it did then. #resist #dumptrump #notmypresident

Economic blackout Feb 28th. You don't think it will do anything, so you aren't going to participate. Businesses notice these shifts and may put pressure on policymakers to respond to public concerns. It will generate media attention, prompting discussions about why people are protesting, putting pressure on public officials. It demonstrates collective will and encourages future, more impactful economic protests.

It is great for hearing words that are an actual word, but the wrong one. Things PWA or Grammarly don't pick up.

If they weren't beta reading, is there anywhere they would stop reading and why?Which characters are the most and least memorable and why? Was the ending fulfilling or was it a letdown? Any loose ends that weren't tied up sufficiently?

If it is prior to causality, that puts in the same realm as what some refer to as God. Maybe the struggle to define it shows it's beyond language, but that doesn't mean it's beyond inquiry.

We're referring to the experience of awareness itself—something we recognize but can't pin down. Consciousness exists at the intersection of mind, matter, and perception. I don't think experts are speaking nonsense; they're exploring a mystery that may not fit neatly into language or science yet.

Diana Colleen Author 🍁 @writ3rdi.bsky.social · Feb 20

But consciousness isn't a thing. We don't even know where it is.

Thank you so much!
