I’m just going to say this: books, videos, etc. about writing teach you how to write books that “sell” or “market well”. They don’t teach you how to write good stories, only those for which people will pay. “Sell them what they want.” Flame on! #writing
Happy Yellow Pigs Day Whatever that is …
Phila is under Code Purple. www.phila.gov/2026-07-1… due to Canadian wildfires. I’ve never seen wisps of smoke from Canadian wildfires, but I have this time here in Delaware. #fires #smoke #air
Time to switch it up. Unbranded, restored by me, (F) w/ Monteverde Amethyst #fountainpen
Good morning. More heat and more smoke from Canada. Can you imagine how big a fire it must be for the smoke (not just haze). I wonder if we’ll gt a new Ice Age as a result. TIme for the ceremonial coffee.
Happy National Be a Dork Day
Good morning. Another heatwave here. Additionally, smoke from Canadian wildfires. Back in my day we didn’t get smoke from Canada in Delaware. Things have changed. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

If you don’t want to gamble, you should definitely not watch any US sports show or network. All of them are supported and sponsored by various gambling apps and houses. Money and greed always win out——yours or theirs. #sport #espn #failure
