So, my local pinball place got rid of the D&D pinball machine, but tonight, I got the high score on the Unhappy Hour feature on the Elvira pinball machine! Elvira is a lot of fun! Realizing #pinball is such a zen activity for me because it is low-stakes highs and lows. I like that.
Okay, new plan... Chinese buffet and a pinball night. Anyone want to talk about favorite pinball machines? Politics is going to make my heart explode, so I'm trying to avoid it... Anyone played the Dungeons & Dragons #Pinball where Michael Dorn provided the voice for the dragon?
In "Living In The Wakes," there are so many suspects. With concern, we'd look in the direction of Father Ted, wondering if he relapsed. If it's near the end of the book, we're worried that Ann's pursuit of magic has caused something disastrous to happen and we're worried. #AwesomeCharacters

Today is International Owl Awareness Day, so: - Owls exist. - If there are any owls near you, be aware of that fact. #OwlAwarenessDay
One of the concepts about love that I love most is that loving means not judging the totality of a person on how they are on their worst day. I love love and support through the worst. That's what I hope to embody for my loved one. #Writing
Tuesday is free coffee day at the local chain of gas stations. It doesn't matter that it's not good coffee... it's free. So, I'm headed out for coffee! (Simple joys. Gotta find them now.)
I write about love. Love between people, love for people, love for society. As I detox from obsessing about current events, it occurs to me that people who find my feed might not know that about me. #Writing
T.B. Kelvin from "Known Quantities" - www.enlightensomeonedaily.com/knownquantities.html - would be both honest and meticulous with his memoir. He does not have much in his life that would be dramatic - he's a research assistant. He probably would minimize his sense of heartbreak. #AwesomeCharacters

A week of not paying attention to current events is going to be growth for me. I'm ripe for growth.
I keep thinking about how the years of the Tea Party, MAGA, the Trump/Netanyahu Regimes have made "The West Wing" unwatchable. I miss moments
Sebastian in "Gentleman Aberrant" in "Tales From Our Current Apocalypse" - www.enlightensomeonedaily.com/TalesCA.html - is entirely immune to criticism. He views humans as children and thus is unaffected by any critique from them. #AwesomeCharacters 💙📚 #Booksky📚💙

Does their confidence suffer from a critique? Do they ignore or shrug it off entirely? Do they learn from it? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
On the off chance no one else has mentioned it, the final reason why Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social should call for a special election to fill Mitch McConnell's senate seat is that if McConnell truly is alive and competent to hold the seat, McConnell can run in the special election to hold it.
It really tears up my worldview that Captain Kirk's "Let me help" lines in "Star Trek" were written by one of the objectively worst people I have ever met in person. #Writing #StarTrek #TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever #TVSky

You can tell that none of the tech oligarchs have truly ever invented anything in their lives by the fact that they support a.i. over patent and copyright law. If they had a patented work that was stolen, they'd tear the world asunder to protect their i.p. #FuckAI
My instinct is to speak up and try to help, to raise my voice against oppression and harm. This often conflicts with my desire not to go where I do not know that I am wanted. For all the rabble-rousing I do, I assume more often that no one really wants to hear from me and I remain silent. #Writing
In my second novel, "Living In The Wakes," the assemblage of characters meet every six months for another mock-wake. Anna and Dougan in the novel have a quick connection, but their relationship hits some snags (there's an age gap, among other things. Honestly, I don't recall why they split). After
🌱 Charlie (Chelizabeth) Delta 🦊🪻@charliedeltawrites.bsky.social · 4d agoTell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters We talked about reunions the other day, so today let's talk about the opposite: partings! Have your characters left someone significant behind? Do they hope to see them again, or know they never will? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
I had SO much fun doing the #JulyInterviewFic and revisiting some of my characters. I really enjoyed writing some of these lines in their voices... made me miss some of them!
W.L. Swarts@wlswarts.bsky.social · 5d agoSam: "Figure yourself out and use your time for what is truly most important to you. How you want to spend your time breaks all of the illusions about your priorities." Jennifer: "Love is more powerful than you can possibly realize. Foster and explore it."
If the local restaurants in my village want more business, they really should: 1. Put their current menu online (Sure, I'll go out and run reconnaissance a couple times to get the order right, but I won't be happy about it!), 2. Have what they claim (I understand occasionally running out), and 1/2
I asked my cat if I should put a picture of him up for #Caturday or if I should go mow the lawn (it's almost 100 degrees here). He bitchslapped me and told me to get the lawn mowed. Literally, smacked me and said (angrily), "Mow, mow, mow!" So, no new cat pics right now. #HappyCaturday #Humor
