Good morning, lovelies.

Getting back into the swing of things. Wrote this tidbit while at an appointment this morning. I thought I’d share it with all of you.

Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I’ve shared some of my writing. This is something new I’ve begun. It doesn’t have a title yet, for which I apologize.

Happy #writing to those of you/us who are jotting our #ideas and #stories down.

Keeping myself busy while at work.

The #words roiling in my mind never stop. So…I thought I’d bring you all what I put down on digital paper a few seconds ago.

Enjoy!

My current #mood.

Feeling a peace like I’ve never felt before right now.

God is good!

My thoughts are never far from my beautiful twin. She’s on my mind all day, every day.

RIP, Guerrita. I love you always.

One Of Those Days

Today is one of those days.
You know the kind.
It’s overcast and raining outside.
The perfect weather to sit down,
Open a book,
While you’re clutching a hot cup of cocoa.
Yet . . .
All I want to do
Is crawl back into bed.

Chocolate solves everything!

Every now and then, I’ll come across a #book/manuscript that gets under the skin. You know the kind, right? The ones that make you think, dream, and remember every inch of it without even trying.

I’m revising one, as we speak. Almost done with it. It’s a #story that begs the reader to dive deeper.

With the way I took this picture, the house’s gables resemble cat ears. Love how bright the #sun looks!

Amidst life’s chaos, and everything I have to do, I’ve been #writing. Not quite working on my #books, mind you.

But…I’ve been writing. #Poetry. Lots of it.

Some dark. Others mellow. A few where I’ve been missing my sister. And some are nothing more than random thoughts that have come to mind.

Good morning, lovelies.

It’s the weekend! Have you any plans today or tomorrow?

Me, we’re taking it easy today. Then, it’s back to the grind tomorrow.

Blessings always to you and yours. Please do stay safe and take care of yourselves.

😊💜🫂

The deviation is real! I…ended up writing down an idea. But…then I ended up with 500 words for its beginning.

It has no title. Not yet. Its MC’s race/gender is not yet defined, though it will be once I continue the story.

Soon, Precious. Soon!

I’ve got 20 pages to finish reading through. But…the last of a book I’ve been reading before bed is calling my name. So…I’m gonna go read it before diving into what’s left to do.

Not too long ago, I’d begun filling a text message with poetry and bits of writing.

These last few days, I’ve added more poetry to it. Dark ones. A few bittersweet. Some where I’m totally missing my twin—may she rest in peace.

My sleep schedule is a little wonky. Thus, I’m up late combing through a read-through. Needed ambience, so I’ve Altered Carbon playing on the telly in the background.

Good evening from my side, lovelies.

How have you all been?

Me? Surviving. I’ve been a little quiet on SM due to a few ongoing health issues, which I’m working on getting fully resolved.

Chores and washing in between revisions and read-throughs.

How have you all been? A blessed day/night to all of you!
