When you thought it was e.e. cummings, but it’s actually Robert Frost.

The sunset of a Titan, a glorious artist who weathered the studio system and conquered time itself. Farewell, Dame #OliviadeHavilland. “Such lissom limbs no more shall run
On the green earth beneath the Sun.
So fair a maid no more shall be,
From dawn to dusk, from Sun to Sea...”
Everyone who loves the fantasy epics woven around ordinary people fighting for truth, for freedom, for survival, and for Good, stand up for the valiant protestors who are doing the same. This is a time to choose to fight evil. Fight however you can. And LISTEN.

My beloved just described my heroine’s walking gait with one #ASL classifier. It would take me ten words and four times as long to describe it that clearly in English! I love language learning... #amediting
I have a new story element for my manuscript, because MY GIRLFRIEND IS BRILLIANT AND INSIGHTFUL!!
Suddenly I am excited that I @amediting. 💜💜💜
Hmm. Google has decided to inundate me with ads for non-dairy foods. I guess they missed the memo that I basically survive on cheese! 😂

@IraStevenBehr @DS9Doc that kind of admitting where you fell short is SO admirable but is too rare. i'm so impressed, and it makes me appreciate your great successes even more. thank you, and i'll say it again - YES, IRA! thank you all! (3/3)

@IraStevenBehr @DS9Doc the part about Rejoined was so exciting, as it truly means so much to us and others. it was the first time my girlfriend was ever able to see two women kissing! but your refusal to give the show too much credit as "one episode out of seven seasons"! (2/3)

@IraStevenBehr @DS9Doc my girlfriend @KeyLukan and I are rewatching the doc now and it is SO GOOD, and I love seeing it outside a theater where we can talk about it, and joyfully talk to the TV screen! the scene discussing LGBT+ representation had me yelling YES IRA, YES! (1/3)
Uh-oh. Not only am I enticed by a book idea unrelated to any of my four current novels... I NOW HAVE AN IDEA FOR A SEQUEL.
What’s a peripatetic pen-wielder to do?
My Lovely One is 27 today, and will live forever!
(Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, not my girlfriend — who isn’t 27, doesn’t have a Jan. 3 birthday, and sadly will not live forever. 😝)

My New Year’s writing goals overlap with my occupational therapy plan: more work with a pen!
Line edits are particularly good for this. #amwriting
I learned the expression “widows” or “widow words” from my mother, who got her start in journalism. They’re words left alone at the top of a new page or column: “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy [page break] dog.”
Had the great pleasure of recommending some short stories to a teacher friend this weekend. I named some classics, and also @StephenKing ‘s “Luckey Quarter”, which I would have LOVED to study in high school. Vivid, fascinating, and so utterly relatable!
