Hey Fedi! I'm a character in the current volume of "The Screw Turns" by @screwturn, and it's gruesome!

`a collection of stories that are like "Final Destination" meets "The Monkey's Paw"`

It'll be a free ebook next Wednesday, but it's only a few dollars normally, and you'd be supporting a Fedi artist in the process

How to celebrate World Poetry Day today? Hey, you could read some poetry!

An excerpt from "Grace" by James Crews:

Lately, I think it’s grace that makes us
push up through the soil of our lives
like the blades of a daffodil that may
take weeks to bloom, but at least
senses that first moment of softening
warmth in the earth, and slices through
old leaves to meet it. What a waste
a closed heart is,

Vernal equinox
Feel the energy changing
The awakening

Prompt - Equinox

A balanced feeling
As the swallow flies by
the summer in tow

Taking a break from one kind of work — #writing — to do another kind — boat cleaning. With the temperature still chilly, I like to work on the boat when it's in the sun, which is between about 10 AM and 2 PM in my driveway this time of year. Photo shows the view from my desk.

The good news is, I have a solid weather window for taking it over the mountains on Tuesday. I can't wait to get it into the maintenance guy's hands.

3,500 words so far today. That was in less than 3 hours. Again, a lot of what I "wrote" had already been written in my blog. I edited yesterday's new content and inserted more. #writing #IAmWriting

The last thing I wrote about was our day trip to St Louis, MO. I managed to include both of these photos from Gateway Arch. #travel #tourism

Pushing to finish #projectIDGAF today, but sooo tired...

Meta illegally used my Scars of the Sundering trilogy (Malediction, Lament, and Salvation) to train its plagiarism machine.

My books are NOT free. Meta and Libgen STOLE from me, costing me money, and affecting my livelihood.

The sacred space earlier today, after having performed the druidic ritual for Alban Eiler, the festival of the Spring Equinox. May the Gods guide us ever as the wheel turns onward and bears us deeper into Sunna's warm embrace. Blessings to all!

Reacting to what’s happening in the UK in terms of social welfare, I wrote up this satire. As a disabled writer myself, I’ll definitely be pretty miffed if I don’t laugh.

The #PoetLaureate Simon Armitage goes gardening:

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Word Count Soars to Over 11.5K

I'm so excited about Space Weed and what I have planned for it. I can't wait to read it!

Maybe something was seen outside the ship, but it's not there now. Ooo! Where did it go?

Going through old photographs and I believe this is Raglan Castle (I tend to binge castles on my visits to Wales).

I love the evocative old stairways and doorways into bare rooms, cool, damp and dark, but once filled with warmth and wealth. There is little left but echoes and whispers of the people who once walked these well-worn steps.

It’s all good fodder for my creative writing.

"I'm gonna finish #writing this book today," Lucas said for the fifth day in a row.
