There’s snow coming AGAIN. I have high hopes that it will miss us. This is not as good as a forecast of spring, but until spring gets here, I will take hopes that are high.
What made you happy this week?
I just got a BookBub e-mail that had two books in it, one Protected by the Damaged Billionaire and the other Bossed by the Grumpy Pixie.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have not read either of these books and this is not a commentary on the stories.
SECOND IMPORTANT NOTE: Authors often have no control over book titles. Example: Manhunting and What the Lady Wants were not my titles and to this day I still loathe them.
When I saw the BookBub titles together, I realized I could play Book Title Mad Libs. As in:
_________ed (verb) by the ________ (adj) ________ (noun). (more…)
Every now and then somebody says to me, “I wish I had a Bob.”
Okay, I understand this, I’m grateful I have a Bob. Most of the time. Sometimes I could use a little sympathy.
Yesterday we had one of our many conversations. It went like this: (more…)
I am currently reading E is for Edward, a massive coffee-table book about Edward Gorey.
I’m not used to massive books, but I’m enjoying this one.
So what did you read this week?
So now that I have my brain back, I’m trying to figure out the internet again. I’d say “social media” but that sounds like Facebook, etc. and I really want to do more structured things, like writing lessons (it’s the teacher in me) and web comics and things like that. I’m looking into Substack (anybody know anything about that?) and then I tripped over this AI thing on How to Blog:
“Effective blogging involves writing for your audience with a clear voice, focusing on value, and structuring posts for readability (using headings, short paragraphs, images, and white space), while avoiding jargon, keyword stuffing, rambling, inconsistency, and plagiarism to keep readers engaged and build trust.”
I did not realize how fogged up my brain had gotten from all the damn meds I was on. But now, about a month out from no meds, I’m turning mental cartwheels. It is so GOOD to think again. I have all these IDEAS. (Yes, I might be manic. That’s how happy I am.). Seriously, happiness is a brain that works.
