Yeah, I get plenty of those as well! Those usually come into my regular DMs. The ones who don't follow me or have just followed although we've never interacted are a certain kind of slimy several notches below book promoter bots.🤣 Oh, and I do know an author who decided to try one of them on a small project and the guy ran off with his money after doing NOTHING. Don't trust any of them.

Cleaned out my unread DMs from the outsiders. It's curious people would write me directly yet not follow me. Don't they want to know something about me before they write? Evidently... NO! Whew, what a journey. I was called "Mistress," worshipped in various ways with requests to reveal specific body parts, got lots of rather hilarious photos/mug shots, a proposal, and a suggestion for in-person tarot readings only they don't care about the tarot reading part. I must say, I've got to give all the African guys props for just being themselves vs. the annoying bots who pretend to be widowed surgeons and naval officers. But no, I'm not responding to any of you.

Polyamory is all over my feed for some reason and my only thought on the matter is that it’s all so gauche. Please just go back to having discrete affairs so I never have to hear words like “nesting partner” and “Frubble” ever again.

I just finished writing the most f'd up chapter of my entire writing career and now I'm really sad I don't smoke anymore 😫

Is that still me burned beyond recognition? I cannot gather my memories around me anymore. Oh life, life: being outside. And I in flames. No one recognizes me. Rilke (translation Franz Wright) * (these are not my markings, I would never underline a poem in pen)

@JennyMitchellGo I've stayed because of this writing community--including you! And I figure there are flaws in any type of big business...maybe even the big blue platform too!

When I told someone I was still on X they were horrified. Is it wrong to stay? 🙄

@realPeterCrerar One thing I've noticed about drinking is that it can make you very talkative...I've always wondered if that was another reason a lot of writers drink: to get the language flowing...

Despite a handful of posts suggesting otherwise, I'm not an advocate of mixing writing with booze. That being said, I think one of the underlying reasons writers so often mix them is the need for courage.

I can't stand to touch those recycled paper drink trays you get with fast food.

Well, I'm taking my new haircut and meeting with another poet to get coffee. That's a good day!

@ImogenForster2 I know, I know...at this point it's kind of my own fault...I guess I have issues! But I will proceed with caution!

Oh, I took some heat yesterday. A good friend basically said that I am making no contribution to society whatsoever. Ruined my morning! Had to go home and take some meds! Ah, the life of the poor scribbler...

From my chapbook, Big Blue Hospital. We’ve all had that hard year, a time that was especially trying. This was mine:

Readers, does the word 'aghast' seem archaic to you?
