He's such a child!

Nose job for sure.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets are family!💔

Oh. This just occurred to me. If there is a change to the constitution, as the GOP wants, so a person can be president for a 3rd term, Barack Obama could run again!
At any rate, I'll vote blue, no matter who! We have a bunch of really good possibles:
Newsom, Buttigieg, Pritzker ... Who else?

I am fine with addicts, former or otherwise, living their lives. But I do take issue with long term addicts making huge decisions on behalf of the entire country, that they weren't even qualified to make even without them sustaining the permanent brain damage of long term hard substance abuse.

Oh, flashbacks! I can see how those would be useful for providing the reader with background information.
Challenges are great for our brains. Go for it!

Even before he was elected for a 2nd term, I suspected the orange lunatic wanted to start WW3, and now things look as if they're heading in that direction. Times are gonna be tough.

Silence is the voice of complicity.

First, what are FBs? Next, I wonder how 35 handwritten pages translate into a word-processed number of pages. Then, are the 4 divided parts considered chapters? Sounds like a fun challenge. Break that mold!

Don't scene breaks signal a change of place, the passage of time, or a change in the characters interacting? How do you handle these things? I'm curious. Does your MC kind of walk/move through these changes without a heads up?

Good morning, creatives! I overslept, which rarely happens. Coffee is brewing, and I'm still a little sleepy. Write on!

And the price of gas at the pumps here in MN has gone up to $3.399.

He's actually bankrupted SIX businesses. He has 34 felony convictions, and he was found liable for sexual abuse in E. Jean Carroll's civil suit against him. Not even mentioning Epstein and his suspicious death here ...

Good morning, creatives! Here we are at another weekend already! My WIP is coming along, but I'm fighting a cold, thanks to my granddaughter. Ah, well. I wouldn't give up my time with her regardless. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Unrelated, but interesting! Never stop learning!

I’ll take the sage advice of a fictional, wrinkled little green guy over the rabid chest-beating of an insecure “real man” any day.

You always share the coolest pictures!

I hope you feel better today!

He lost his mind due to his 18-year heroin habit. I don't believe he's been "normal" ever since. He never should've been put in charge of ... well, of any damn thing.

Good morning, creatives! On goes the hunt ...
Here's hoping the words find you today!

Ha! Good for you!

I've been saying this since t-rump entered the political stage:
He wants to start WW3. And so it begins ... Sad thing is, we aren't on the "good" side anymore. He's allied with Putin and other autocrats.

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

That's a positive spin. LOL

Good morning, creatives! Have you noticed how prevalent pharmaceutical ads are on some streaming channels? It's one after another after another, etc. Are we an overmedicated society? Hmm. How can I incorporate this into a story? A conspiracy thriller, maybe?

Senator Amy Klobuchar was not playing with Kristi Noem. Of course, these responses are trash.😒

She doesn’t raise her voice!
She raises accountability!

Letitia James walked into rooms full of powerful men who thought they were untouchable and proved they weren’t!

Strong women don’t need permission!
They need evidence!
And she brought receipts!

I truly admire Trump’s consistency.
Never says the right thing
Never does the right thing
Never cares about anything
Never cares about anyone
Never listens
Never pays
Never tells the truth
Can’t form a cogent thought
Can’t stay awake
Has no knowledge or education
Cannot read

I agree with Rep. Jones! He tells it like it is.

Things need to change. We are the ONLY developed nation in the world without universal healthcare! I heard on Mn Public Radio, that the need for food assistance has risen from 4 million to 9 MILLION! Our priorities are so upside down!
