#WritingCat is waiting... for something wicked.

Grace is given to all. Peace we must achieve on our own. #grace

It's a basic tool... but you got to start somewhere. #CPTSD #flashbacks

I thought I would share this poem. A little meditation on this crazy cycle of creation. Whether that be life or #writing? That is up to you.

Holy cow. The Guinea-Bissau offices of the two Danish researchers who were funded by RFK Jr. to conduct an unethical experiment with the HepB vaccine just had their offices raided and vaccines seized by the police. Great work on reporting this story once again by @melodyschreiber.com.

The new Dutch Code of Conduct for Research Integrity has launched and it includes new sections about AI in research. These could have big consequences for how Dutch universities adopt GenAI in research and education. www.knaw.nl/en/publicati... ⬇️

#WritingCat is waiting for you... Lucy is not one to let you slack.

You are an ocean of knowledge hidden in a dewdrop. ~Rumi #grace

#CPTSD A phrase we all need. "Your expectations are not my burden." Problem is - Most of us needed it as children.

Ok... This image was initially made to talk about depression, but I'm finding it works for #querying too. #writingCommunity #amWriting

#WritingCat is waiting...

Grace is infinite. Grace has no beginning nor end. Grace cannot be limited or confined. Grace can never be kept from you. #grace

Do not seek to make yourself perfect. Because you will make yourself less. #CPTSD #mentalHealth

#WritingCommunity Just a reminder to myself. And anyone else who might need it.

#writingCat What do you mean, it's Monday? To Work!

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love Mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. ~ The Talmud #grace

#CPTSD There is a moment in my recovery that haunts me still. It is not the long inventory of parts ofme that I lost. It is the realization that I was the one to cut those parts away to survive. #mentalhealth #survivorstrong #nostigma

Dear writers - One day someone is going to accuse you of using generative AI to write. The question isn't, will this happen? The question is, How are you preparing today to deal with it when it does happen? What are you all doing? . #WritingCommunity #amWriting

#DVpit #A #F Nicho's scars are more than skin-deep. Mentally and magically unstable, she will do anything to remain free. But when two children need her help to escape a warzone she risks everything. Nicho always survives, but now she has something to live for. The Scarlet Throne X The Gods Below

A last note in September is #CPTSD awareness month. To all those who fight to just live - I hope you know that doing the work, as hard as it is, as exhausting as it is, as much as it hurts sometimes is a form of self-love. #MentalHealth #noStigma #SurvivorStrong

#DVpit #A #F A young woman with a fractured mind & a price on her head leads two refugee children away from war over the mountains into a new land. But this new land is wary of magic and Nicho can barely control her power. Can she avoid the nations's mage-hunters to keep her found family?

#DVPit Carrie is coming-of-age while coming apart. She searches for an elusive connection to her family through a legacy of secrets, lies, and guilt. Desperate Women is upmarket fiction w/ a book club bent. Mental health themes. Thai's "Banyan Moon" X Littlewood's "Amazing Grace Adams".

#DVPit It's 1980 in the Appalachian backwoods. Newcomer Liz and her daughter, Carrie, struggle to adapt to mountain life, but a guilty secret reveals the cracks in their relationship.

#CPTSD awareness month. Let me tell you #CPTSD and #querying. They DO NOT go together well. Hearing 'no' is not the probelm. Hearing NOTHING is the problem, the perpetual anxiety of waiting. Thinking "I'm invisible." "I'm doing this wrong." "I'm wrong." "What is wrong with me?"

So much swirling about AI in the #Writingcommunity and in #publishing these days. .

Crossing the #writing and #mentalhealth streams again. September is #CPTSD awareness month. As if any of us need to be more aware. #MentalHealth #noStigma #SurvivorStrong My Voices.
