There's a prominent person in my writing industry who's had my private ear & steady counsel for years... and using that ear, always vents about slights and not getting their way all the time, despite getting away with a lot that others couldn't.
Some wounds are genuine, but all reflect being so caught up in what the world has done *to* a person that there's not much room for anything else.
As much as I haven't gained their acclaim, I'm also thankful for not being caught in that mindset either.
@MLClark Just heard the bell for my third cup! Enjoy your day!
You have a bell?! That sounds lovely. :) Have a great day, Frank!
@MLClark More of a ding! 🛎️
@MLClark back at ya’ sista’! Use your AI (author intelligence) well.
Anyway--
Good morning, good brew to you ☕, and much gratitude *for* you all, too.
Hope your day goes as gently as it can.
