This. Always This:
“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
- Elie Wiesel, in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, 1986
I do love this part of the process ❤️
My first full re-read of the manuscript whilst waiting for the formal notes from my editors (expected later this week).
Coffee, a pen, and Theodore A. Rees Cheney, whose book has been my editing Bible for more than 30 years, from the beginning.
Ready to turn this pile of paper into something special for you…

I do have a lot of fancy and/or “rare” houseplants…but I only have one plant that I paid >$100, most I paid <$50. Starting #PlantBuyingTips to share my sources. There are a lot of deals out there!

A Hilary Retrospective, before heading off to look into Harold
🌀 The remnants of Tropical Rainstorm Hillary are continuing to soak northern California. In their wake, floodwaters are receding, but more is brewing in the tropics.
MyRadar meteorologist @MatthewCappucci identifies where Hilary is now, and recaps what happened.

I didn’t know a single person when I joined CoSo nearly five years ago. Not ONE person.
Now I feel fortunate to know a bunch of diverse and amazing people who have made my life—and me—better.
The welcome you receive is sincere. Respond to posts and threads that interest you.
You might be amazed where they take you.

I'm not calling it "x" because that's stupid.
It's the social media hellhole formerly known as #Twitter.

The special thing about CoSo, is that everybody is “somebody.”
Take your time, build your authentic community.

I'll stop, I promise.
But just this last one.
It's so, so beautiful.

Ireland Asks: What if Artists Could Ditch Their Day Jobs?
A government pilot program is giving 2,000 artists $350 a week with no strings attached, allowing them to concentrate on creative pursuits.

Happy Sunday to all my fellow wordsmiths who have also slept late, fed the dog, watched the end of an old movie, played with the dog, made lunch for everyone else in the household (and coffee for themselves), fed the dog again, and having run out of reasons to procrastinate, are now heading bravely into their works-in-progress...
May the words be with us.

It's been over FIVE years and CoSo has retained its lovely and sincere spirit, even as it has grown and evolved.
No other place can make that claim.
CoSo truly does have a heart of gold.

One easy way to improve your health is to actively omit toxic people from your life.
For my part, I do not care what anyone says. Blood is no excuse to put up with abuse. #selfcare
