As a member of the Atlanta Writer’s Club, I enjoy ‘painting’ vivid, funny, lyrical, and heart-pounding art thru words. P.S. I'm also known as K.A. Hamdy-Swink.

@feathertales Looking thru old photos, I ran across my Double-Delight rose photo, seemingly in prayer, as it bloomed—appropriate as I was experimenting with a new-to-me vintage mid-1970 Nikkor lens. Maybe one day another rose garden will come my way.

@SamHornIntrigue Yes. Curiosity would be my guess. Could the new table holds more value than the other left behind? Value being defined in a multitude of ways. And the inner child’s desire to be accepted might be at play too!

@DavidSwan5 TY Dave for this post! Got badly chastised yesterday, by a critique group member, for being such a slow writer. It’s “love for learning”to enrich characters & depth of story that set my turtle pace—while pesky ‘wabbits’ keep digging out more holes! Hope your querying is golden.

@tomcolgan14 Perhaps a “You too!” deflection? So, technically, you’re not obligated if craze-day’s rootstock prevails...

@feathertales P.S. Photo by K. A. Hamdy-Swink of Stegman Coliseum. Taken with an old iPhone 12 Mini, after a 2025 GymDogs meet in Athens. i.e. one of my hallowed grounds with nourishing cold-water fountains.

As we stroll upon hills, valleys, streets, streams, and arches—let us remember the hallowed grounds we belong to and refreshing waters which have nurtured our souls. No matter their impact or size—stay mindful of your blessings and savor unexpected moments of joy. #GODAWGS!

@StateFarm who ever thought that customers would enjoy playing #paperdolls — cutting and taping our “new” automobile #insurancecards *needs* their toenails pulled out slowly. #Dobetter ie maybe try to insert it in/out a wallet?! It’s ridiculous and *insulting* for the $$$ we pay.

@HachetteUS Yes, to magical times curled up with #books, but . . . (fyi) most nights in the US get *shorter* not longer—starting tomorrow. Cheers to longer days and Hachette BG for publishing wonderful books!!

Anyone else #comet-watching”? It’s taken my bird watching imagination to the next level, probably b/c of witnessing a UFO between Belcher and Shreveport LA the summer of ‘78 with a group of gymnasts coming home from a movie. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

@tomcolgan14 You’ll do great!! Wish I was there. What also fascinates me—but prob not others—about your pie: how the physical life of a book goes from order, printer, distro/shipper, seller, buyer, reader, and/or sadly shredder. And how y’all forecast! Have fun!

@HachetteUS Very informative site! Enjoyed reading about efficiency improvements and environmental stewardship projects. My husband is in industrial (comm) real estate, so this portion of your business is just as fascinating as book publishing. Any geo thermal for heating being considered?

@tomcolgan14 LOL. Concrete repair… so true. FYI down here in Atlanta, our Publix supermarket has a new all-natural organic, GF oatmeal bar, laced with a dab of frosting. Brilliantly marketed as a 150 cal cookie! It’s “finger lickin’ good”with an A+ oatmeal texture. Sinful tea-time snack.

@tomcolgan14 Creepy vibe’s real. A work trip, in ‘92, had me staying at that hotel, learning the facts of life—but not what one thinks. Taxi took wrong turns on far side of the river: ended up where police don’t venture & violence=birth control. Not expecting to live= “etched” terror memory.

@infosec_fox Old days: I could get tons of analytics on my site traffic, country origins, page hits, movement and my favorite where they “left” to. Fascinating info on engagements. Came w my URL in the mid-2000’s from Godaddy. Quit looking when Google made us pay for a subpar service.

Can someone clarify this for me please. I know ISPs keep a log of the websites you visit but I need someone to confirm this. Can your ISP see beyond what website you visit ? Fox example the ISP knows you visited my-website.com But does it know if you visited my-website.com/page-1 ?

@tomcolgan14 LOL, Yesterday’s *deep* rabbit hole landed in 1939 SE Asia reading Fred Birchmore’s biography of his bicycle ride around the world, including slogging thru jungles. At a hospital stay in Pangwai “paradise” he drools on about the best-butter-ever: Buffalo Butter (on waffles) Mmm?!
