It's been a stressful month and a half. I needed the time to recenter. I'm not 100%, but I'm in a much better place. About to rejoin the world.

Getting back to my DIY roots. I made some bread last night and I may start making booze again. It's almost like I'm preparing for something bad to happen.

I'm still trying to strike a balance between my #writing stuff and my #music/#internetradio posts. It may get a little bumpy on this road. Exercise caution.

Say it with me:

If you are writing a book you aren’t an **aspiring** author, you ARE an author!

Be proud of yourself, babe! Writing a book ain’t easy! #WritingCommunity

I think of the line from Neil Gaiman. The sole purpose of the second draft is to make it look like you knew what you were doing all along.
Every #book you have loved was once a hot mess of a first draft the #author was absolutely sure should be lit on fire while they cried over the bonfire.

#Writer Drop the matches. Step away from the pages.
I promise, the book isn't as bad as you think.

How tight are my neck and shoulders? I broke my neck massager yesterday trying to loosen up the muscles.

It took me more than a decade to build a following on Twitter, and when I was starting to get some traction, the algorithm change and pay-to-play came along. I tried to recreate the same magic on Mastadon and Threads to no avail. Starting again is hard. Maybe we all can do it together.
