Nice. Yeah, it’s a journey. Got the bug for lang-form stories while telling stories in Toastmasters. For books, I write thrillers and dark fantasy. You?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Forever but my first novel wasn’t published until 2020. How about you?

Hi Joanna. Not new but always learning.

Reality is grimdark these days

Thank you for seeing it. I read it years ago, but the message feels even more timely now.

Like peaceful sounds best
The #hush of a morning spent
Wrapped in hot coffee.

Thanks, Tré! I love your take on it 😄

Oh yeah! Do you ever get that feeling like you’re going to fall up into the sky and you have to grab something?

If the spirits move you, it might be fun to try it with your own stories. Good luck 🍀

I can definitely relate to that. I just heard back from my editor. I thought I was finished, but nope. The good news is that the story structure, plot, characters, etc are all good. But I have a number of issues to address. But kudos to us for getting this far! 😀

Amazing! 👏

I think a lot of us can relate to this. I joined Toastmasters and tell stories in my speeches. I found it to be a good way to mix things up and test out ideas in real time. Seeing how people react is a great way to refine story elements
Once I got past the horror of public speaking it’s actually fun
