I do not write for likes or to publish, but to explore a world outside myself. Please always feel free to ask me and/or challenge me. I'm not afraid, and will always enjoy sharing and comparing through caring. Cheers to helping rather than hindering. Let's do this. The World deserves so much more. 👍

I called it a self-help book.
But it doesn’t help.
It understands.
And then offers you wine.
🕳️ Open the book. Let it hold your sadness gently by the chin:

Apologies to all the independent bookstores and their lovely employees, but sometimes (being an addict) a thrift store score is just too much. 😀

Dear writers and readers, I've a question regarding presale incentive(s): would a dollar off and a dollar to charity be enough? Or do people just want "stuff"? Keychains, bookmarks, autographs? Thoughts? THX! #authors #booksky #novelwriting #marketing #WritingCommunity #indieauthor #writersofbluesky

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️

Finally saw the Bonhoeffer film. While I enjoyed seeing the nearby locations where it was filmed, I think that it tried to cram too much information into too little time. A better script – or better editing – could have done justice to this man who had a message for his day – and for ours.
