#WritingCommunity: nothing like getting a note from a total stranger who liked I piece you wrote eh? today is a good day

At the finish line of a 1/2 marathon at Key West, there were ribbons, fanfare and... a truck serving rum and beer. So yes, let's go run 7am, have a good sweat, celebrate community and then... go get plastered at noon. Totally normal stuff.

I gotta share a delightful experience submitting to Flash Fiction Magazine True, my #flashfiction piece was accepted, so I'm giddy. Still... their timeliness and thoughtful editing were a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend you try them. #WritingCommunity #shortstories

visiting my homeland of Greece and I must admit: the prime time TV demographic must be bizarre. The sequence of commercials was for, in order: pasta, toilet paper, vaginal dryness ointment, hemorrhoid creme. #WritingCommunity there's no way there's not a story in there

#WritingCommunity: I have said it before and will say it again. Get into a writer's critique group! Not for the first time, the comments I received on a short story were transformative (and energizing). PS the less pandering to "how amazing" everyone is, the better the art...

our thoughts are with Mr. Moynihan at this difficult time 🙄 reuters.com/business/finan…

I showed this to my daughter. Nope... (sigh)

Was just notified by the Delmarva Review that The Accidental Lion was redistributed to a set of distinguished outlets. Check it out... this really made my day! cambridgespy.org/2023/03/11/del… #writers #writerscommunity #writerslife #WritingCommunity

A giant has left us. I encourage you to read his work (A Personal Mater is one of my favorites) #WritingCommunity #writing #writers bbc.com/news/entertain…

Finally! After three months of writer's block, Chapters 1+2 of Ithaca in Flames shine like little darling gems. Oh, the joy. The relief. (cracks knuckles. "Easy peasy, only another 70k words to go.") #WritingCommunity #writers

While we're at this, might as well have a crack at Homer. I mean... have you read the Iliad? Misogyny abound. Then let's go after Beowolf etc Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? "Moral purity" was abound in the Middle Ages. #WritingCommunity #writing thewire.in/books/agatha-c…

Spent the day at the Coptic quarter in old Cairo. What a wonderful place to find writing inspiration. Total throwback in time. #writing #WritingCommunity

i just played with #chatgpt4 to generate poetry and book scenes. I am relieved to report they were all rather mediocre. Seems like the world will require #writers and #writerscommunity for a while longer.

A heartfelt thanks to the >3,000 folks who took the time to read our book. Ya'll inspire us to keep improving our craft and to search for the truth in the worlds we create. #amwritingfiction #readingcommunity #scifi amazon.com/When-All-Thats…
