Where does it go?

"A Little Prayer" by Sofia Eun-Young Guerra in case you missed it. Sofia is a student at MIT. Outside of writing, she spends her time folding origami butterflies and reading about sharks.

Took the old Packard for a spin the farthest it's been from the house and one old man stood up from his lawn chair and clapped and a group of workers balancing on a roof with piles of shingles waved at us. I'm hooked and would like to drive to California in it tomorrow.

Would love to read the story that you wrote on the bus or over seven years or in your bed every Sunday morning inspired by the news article you read about kitchenette living in Chicago, or your dad's old yearbook, or the hornworm you accidentally squeezed with your bare hand while picking a tomato

Saved all these submission opportunities going live August 1 but I’m not ready, I don’t have it together. Panicked for a second & then remembered I have written & published good things I am proud of & don’t have to break my neck to keep up.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Glad to be the steward of all this family lore I’m inheriting. People and places buzzing in my head. Grandpa and Dad feel just as young up there as they are in this photo.

Old men gathering at the pool hall next to the coffee shop this morning. The lady at the post office says she’s been in since four. The afternoon rain is in the air and on everyone’s lips.

Finding out exactly how the family lost the farm is tougher to hear than I expected. A quiet, generational trickle of acreage. Some addiction. A little nonchalance, and bam. Gone.

My friend just had her 1st baby & is at home in the stunned, anxiety, what have I done phase. She needs another world on hand. I want to send her a book, maybe in a series, that she can escape to. She likes romance and beachy reads. What should I send her?
