Some ideas become stories.
Some ideas become sketches.
Some refuse to choose… and become both.

I've been moved to start a short story today. It's a spooky story with a twist set on Boxing Day 1813.

I've written 1175 words – about half the final word count.
And I've done a visual (using Ai, I'm afraid. I normally use my own photos but I don't have anything suitable)

When you live misc you imagine a thousand different ways a story can end.
This is my gift to the departed Spanish author of the song “Dos días en la vida”
Because not everything has to end in pain.

Two Thirds Of A Family We passed twelve weeks; thought we were safe. Nothing could happen after that date. We had only to wait, two would become three. Soon, we’d become our own little family. We thought we had it all arranged, but in an instant, everything changed. The galloping horse slowed to a trot, the most precious sound in the world just stopped. Fast through the doors, a mask on my face. A masked person to hold the mask in place. Fell asleep, cheeks wet with my own tears. Woke up. The words. Confusion. The fears. We arrived ready for two to become three - but instead, became two thirds of a family.

16 years feels like a lifetime ago - and yesterday. #stillbirth #babyloss #poetry #poem #griefpoem #griefrecovery #griefpoetry #imwriting

Is it Shameless Self-promotion Friday? It's not? Oh well.

Been working on a story for the @literotica.com Summer Lovin' contest and want to recapture the easygoing summer tone of this hit from 2021.

Not so easy to do in 2025, but I'm trying. #ImWriting

Jetlag, Croissants, And The Ghosts Of Paris For once, I felt less like a tourist, and more like a traveler in disguise, strolling anonymously through crowds, lost and found, for the moment, in Paris.

Charles de Gaulle at 4:30 AM is a state of mind.

You don’t arrive—you descend.

And yet, in the absurdity of the space, there’s clarity: travel is rarely about ease. It’s about surrender.

Sometimes, the most meaningful journeys start in the ugliest places.

A session of intentional writing today in nature. I'd like to add a handful of new poems to the first draft of my book. A new feeling... to sit and try to formulate sensible words. Usually poems or phrases arrive nearly fully baked in my mind 💁

Hope is a beautiful thing, to rediscover it. To welcome it anew. The sunrise brings a sense of wonder, magic, awe - and hope. If the sun manages to rise, so can we! I met with an editor this morning. One step closer to releasing this collection into the world. 💫 #newpoetry #imwriting #poetrydebut

I'm writing a memoir at the moment with some coaching and support, helping me structure the thing. It's quite a slog.
Tiny bit of me wants go back to writing fiction.
Maybe I should just do a little bit, for a break?

I can tell you this memoir I'm writing is not so much as explosive, but there are some hairy bits in it, and I'm glad 1/2 my family really don't care about things, except the very concrete realities of their privileged lives.
