It starts in the home, seeps into the schoolyard, the office, and the law. Disrespect isn’t rudeness—it’s the slow undoing of humanity.

While the World Waits. Tip 5
Struggling with a character? Ask: what do they want most, or value most? Then take it away. Their drive to get it back—or find retribution—will carry the story. Keep throwing in obstacles as they walk the pages. They’ll change along the way.
Happy Writing

While the World Waits – Tip 4

Not sure what to write? Start with a moment.
A memory. A feeling. A single image.
Skip the intro if it’s not coming. Write the part that wants to be written. You can always fill in the gaps later.

Canada is working through real issues like U.S. tariffs—we don’t need more “poor me” politics. Leaders should build bridges, not stoke division. Honour the treaties. Do the work. Spare us the separatist drama. #Canada #FirstNations #StrongerTogether #GrowUpPolitics #TreatyRights

The Seeds of Division: From Childhood Memories to Present-Day Politics.
Growing up in postwar Germany, where silence allowed division to take root. I see the canary is singing in Canada.

When foreign nationals are forced to register or face arrest and deportation, pay attention. These policies create databases ripe for abuse. Nazi Germany began with laws like these—bureaucratic, legal, and quiet. History doesn’t repeat. But it often rhymes.

Habits that help later.
Name your file or pick a notebook.
In Word or Google Docs:
12pt, double space, Times New Roman or Garamond.
Add page numbers + a header with your name & working title.
You’re not just dreaming of a book—you’re writing one.

Start writing your book
Set your timer for 10 minutes, don’t stop to fix what you wrote.
No rereading, no editing, no spelling correction.
Stay in the flow.
Your job isn’t to be perfect—it’s to get your words down.
Just keep going for the next ten minutes.

Start writing your book.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a little time, & the desire to begin. Set your timer for ten minutes, and start writing. Don’t judge what comes out—just let it flow.
Remember: if you don’t write, you have nothing to edit. #WritingTip
Coastal Moments.
Love Canada.
Decompress from the news. I like to remind myself that this too will pass. In the meantime, it’s important to stay connected to your values and give yourself space to reflect on what truly brings happiness into your life.

Amid political storms—henchmen stir chaos, flood the air with lies, chasing profit. What’s up, what’s down? Hard to know. But your moral compass holds true. Let passion guide you—take action, and your dreams will find their way.

I'm in the garden, hands in the dirt, thinking about the fight against tyranny. Indivisible, The Lincoln Project & Democracy Forward are pushing back. Get involved in mutual aid networks. Engage in local politics. Build community resilience. Be the solution!
