It's the same thing every year. The @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social conference, Letters & Lines, is days away, and I'm still agonizing over which breakout sessions to attend. I want to go to ALL of them!

Arriving at work yesterday, I noticed this tree in the parking lot. Does anyone else see a creature with some sort of beak? I think it needs a story. Perhaps a #spooky one. 👀

Some of my favorite lines aren’t elegant, but they ring with my character’s truth. Even if that truth is temporary and just a part of their journey.
