Only a couple weeks plus a day left until Diversity Scholarship applications for Storymakers Conference are due. Just want to post a reminder that there is more diversity of people eligible for Diversity Scholarships than one might think.

Storymakers is a great conference for writers held every May in Provo, Utah. We have Diversity Scholarships for writers from communities traditionally underrepresented in publishing. It would be awesome to have more diverse writers apply for these scholarships: storymakersguild.org/storymakers-...

I like gardening but I'm not very good at it. It's more like a hobby where I throw seeds into the ground and see if anything grows and then post pics on social media if I think they are cute. Some of my zinnias are late bloomers. Some look dead but are actually seeds. I find them inspiring.

Since I'm new to Bluesky, I'm going to make a few random posts just to establish that I'm a real person. Below is my website where I talk about my writing and be prepared just in case someone wants to read my stuff one day.
