You're only as good as your best story.

It's true, no? It's why readers remember us & people befriend us. Why folk vote & the public take note of hard science.

It's legacy, left in your hands.

Might as well give it your all.

I fled to the Baltic for a workcation. Hope the photo helps more than it hinders ☺️

Wish you well in your day's endeavours ...

The joys of finishing a draft & finally leaving the house to find August burning outside.

Nice article. Coincidentally just pulled TLHOD off my shelf to read over (what's left of) summer.

Feed-stream serendipity.

(As to Asimov's 'Foundation', I had a similar experience. The blinkered sight of youth, now broadened.)

No practical limits for a boundless imagination.

I really like his illustration for Alain-Fournier's 'The Wanderer'.

Reading aloud — the best proofing tool. Nothing gets out stubborn stains and wrinkles like a hearty textual chin-wag.

Plus, for those aspiring to audiobooks, show a little mercy to the poor soul behind the mic.

Words are yummy no? Big ones, small--delicious all.
And writers are kind, so we share *all* our lang nugs in work so purple it hurts.
But what we hold back, readers provide. I bet they feel good in the giving too.

Writing in the city’s OK *if* the city lets you shift your view to see it how you need to, topsy-turvy and truth-smooshed. (“Slant” as Dickinson might say)

Thanks @karinmora.bsky.social for the photo.

Anyone still using these out there? Any slow-shapers of words?

Nothing quite like carving a #story by hand ...
