I've missed my writer friends since I left Twitter 5 years ago. Glad to have a new place where @deapoirier.bsky.social and I can cause some chaos!
Book sellers, please don't ask me to rate the book I purchased from you 7 days ago because it was probably added to my TBR pile. Check with me in a year. I may have finally gotten around to it.

Short story finished!
This is a huge milestone for me. It's the first story I've written since my life fell apart in 2019.

Why must many wild animals look so cute and fuzzy? It's not fair that I can't befriend them so I can pet them.

Put a note in my MS to remind myself to write in a dinner scene. Now I've changed my mind.
Future me will have to deal with it when I revise. 😂

Some tropes in the MS I'm querying include:
-Mom struggling with rebellious teen daughter.
-Second chance romance.
-Secret (X-men like) powers.

Each month I do an outlook reading for the month that looks at different areas of my life and the next 4 weeks. No big surprises here but the Lovers for the last week of February is interesting. 🤔

Finished doing this puzzle last night. All the grey made it very difficult. Happy this one is done so I can move on to an easier one.

When I got home from work last night, I thought I'd use the remaining daylight to work on my puzzle. Kit Kat had other plans....
She's not even allowed on the table.
