Are we really going to let a half-dozen extremists stand in the way of what the majority wants? SpeakerJohnson?

Outraged by OK Sen Tom Woods describing LGBTQIA+ people as "filth" after Nex Benedict's death, I had much to say.

This is Corfe Castle, one thousand years old, in Dorset, England. If I needed a writing prompt this would absolutely do it! (I have more ideas already than time in which to write them.)

I am coming BACK to Spoutible after hearing the news about Threads limiting the reach of all political content. Spoutible is a rare independent social media place. Nice to see everyone here.

#writingcommunity Terrific realization yesterday as I was writing a scene predominantly in dialogue (which I love.) Writing words for my characters to say is so much more satisfying than, in a real life convo, not figuring out what I should have said until hours, days, years later!🫠

Bad idea. Very very bad idea. Expect egregious errors.

Oh, my. Just heard a brand new first-hand ghost story, and once I get past this nasty cold, I'll tell it on TikTok.
I am, without doubt, a ghost story magnet. This is a scary one.

Boscawen-un, a stone circle in Cornwall, is new to me, although hardly new. Bronze Age. Mysterious. After all these years, no one has really been able to explain the henges.

Are ghost stories really "suddenly" in vogue? I don't think so. I've been hearing them all my life, first- and second-hand tales, and I've acquired a few of my own experiences. (The most interesting are on my TikTok "Ghost Story Moments.") And, obviously, I wrote a ghost novel, so . . . suddenly? 1/

Sick with something. Not COVID, thankfully, but something. Tried a cup of hot coca, then a cup of coffee, then was recommended by my live-in doctor to drink a toddy of lemon-ginger tea, local honey, and WHISKEY. Guess which one helped? 😪

My grandmother (Charlotte in THE WITCH’s KIND is based on her) used to say that sometimes, you just have to take a day and lie on the couch. Today is that day, with the excuse of a tiny cold. Will spend it reading LOTR!
