mastodon 4.5.7

Professional teller of tales

I write the books I want to read but can't find.

I will, on occasion, post the picture of a park, usually taken in the morning on the day of the post. I use the tag #tommw for Talking On My Morning Walk, my somewhat daily podcast.

I never post the link. The picture is the "first word" of the podcast and tells my listeners that the new episode is coming. They know how to find it.

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

A good day yesterday laid the groundwork for this morning. Nothing so strict as orders but an impetus moving me along.

My kayak caught in a rising tide perhaps. I feel as if I'm barely paddling but the movement, undeniable.

It won't last, of course. Nothing does.

But I'm going to take advantage of it while I can and smile when the tide changes.

Because I know it will.

May you paddle with the current in your life #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

A warmish day to start. Quite the shift from below freezing to above. A good night's sleep has me unusually well rested.

An auspicious start for this superstitious day.

Too many things I want to do, few of them can be done completely in a single day, let alone one sitting.

Time to work on my Practice. Test some of ideals against reality to see how they hold up.

Let's see what luck this Friday the 13th brings.

May your day be a lucky one #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Bread baking already. It probably needed a few more minutes after it came out of the fridge. This new yeast is awesome.

Funny how baking the family bread has taken on a life of its own. Every few days, need to bake again. Each time is a new experience. I take notes on time and temperature. Variations in recipe. Recording botched batches and their outcomes.

Nobody will ever see those notes except me.

I'm enough.

I hope you feel like you're enough #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Adventures in baking. I'm trying a new recipe. Irish soda bread. It's expensive in the shop but I have everything I need to make it.

With St. Patrick's Day coming up, it seemed like a fun way to celebrate.

Otherwise, just another day. Weekends have lost their luster now that I work for myself. As a novelist, every day is a work day one way or another.

But doing what I love? Why would I stop?

May you do what you love, at least a little bit, #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Already an hour into the day and only now starting my engine. A slow start is still a start.

Most mornings I hit the floor running. Ready to go. Coffee poured and synapses coming online in a cascade.

Not this morning.

Sluggish. Lounging in my pajamas for an hour before getting dressed and facing the day with intent.

But some mornings I need that extra time to breathe. To just be, if only for an hour.

May you find some time to be #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

I start the day with fresh bread and clean clothes. Now if I only had the gumption to follow up on yesterday's efforts.

I've little to do as the month winds to a close. A couple of small tasks in addition to the normal wood and water.

Perhaps I'll tackle a job that's been lurking on my desk.

Perhaps I won't.

Perhaps I'll throw caution to the wind and start a new project. We'll see.

May the wind blow in the direction you need #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed.

Bread baking day.

Probably laundry as well.

A homely day of putting things in order, picking up messes, and tending to the little needful tasks that crop up each day.

I'll read a little. Play a lot. Take a 2 mile walk, probably outside but the treadmill is there for backup.

My word of the year, Practice, has held up well. I like to think I get a little better every week. Even if not, it's all Practice.

May your practice be fruitful #today

Short night. Rough wake up. Been up over an hour already and just getting the day started.

I like days that start smoothly. Who doesn't

It's so easy to get caught up in the mornings that roll over me instead of the other way around.

Yeah, I've a headache and didn't get enough sleep.

Some days are like this.

I may not have a choice in how the day begins but I can choose how it proceeds from here.

First, breakfast.

May your choices all be easy #today

I've been a member since 2017 but never did much with the account. With the influx of new people, I'm taking the opportunity to start fresh on a new instance.

I'm a full-time, self-published novelist writing in #SpaceOpera and #Fantasy.

After a rather long hiatus, I'm re-invigorating my somewhat daily podcast and working on my 25th novel.

I'm glad to be among you.
