As a teenager I used to stay up on Friday nights reading an entire book. Misspent youth, yes. But now whenever I’m able to read until 1 or after, maybe finishing a book, I feel incredibly young.

Monday night I took a very good #flashfiction #writing workshop with Tina Tocco sponsored by @thurberhouse.bsky.social. I like generative workshops, and I came away from this w/beginnings of two new pieces I'd wanted to start for a while. #writingcommunity #amwriting

I just got one of those unsolicited emails from a gmail address claiming to be from an editor at a legit publishing house that doesn't use a gmail address. You'd think she was my mother she's so impressed with my work. They really lay it on with a trowel, don't they?

#writingcommunity Yesterday I attended my first @pvww.bsky.social Pioneer Valley Writers' Workshop workshop, led by author Dariel Suarez. I think this will be helpful with a new project. I have attended a lot of Zoom #writers workshops. This one was particularly good. www.pioneervalleywriters.org

I'm a big fan of done lists, which don't seem to be a popular topic here. They're the subject of my latest Seeking #Time #essay @medium.com #timemanagement #writing #writingcommunity #productivity gailgauthier71.medium.com/done-lists-a...

I love mine.

You know, I have two interviews on my blog set for the first week of the new year (that's the week of Labor Day!) and could do three more if any #MGLit authors want to answer a few questions by e mail. Sports and humorous books would be my first pick. DM me if interested.

My most recent Seeking Time #essay, this one on #procrastination. I don't enjoy procrastination the way I used to. #writers #writing #writingcommunity gailgauthier71.medium.com/procrastinat...

Not as much fun as I thought it was.

Procrastinate Much?

This week's second Seeking #Time #essay. Look I'm not saying anyone should love #housework or #homemaking. But if you #workathome, you've got to be able to tolerate being there. #writingcommunity #writers #timemanagement gailgauthier71.medium.com/seeking-time...

Holy smokes. It’s been years since I’ve watched any music videos. I’d forgotten how totally mystifying the images could be in relation to the lyrics.

Gail Gauthier @gailgauthier.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

One of this week's Seeking #Time #essays. This one deals with making transitions between activities, particularly #writing and other activities. #timemanagement #writingcommunity gailgauthier71.medium.com/transitionin...

Transitioning Between Work and Life

How much time do we lose to that?

For a while the doctors' offices around here had TVs in the waiting rooms, often tuned into some medical info. My thought was always, I am here to read!

The second installment of my Seeking #time series on Medium. Everything is #situational. Also, if you look up Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs on BlueSky, you get some fascinating stuff. gailgauthier71.medium.com/i-came-up-wi...

“I Came Up with a Work Schedule So Good I’ll Be Able to Use It the Rest of My Life!”

No, you won’t, because time is situational

"Nolan had a simple job—faithfully adapt Homer’s poem from the written dactylic hexameter into the visual medium of film. That should've started with geographically accurate casting—Greek actors playing Achaeans, Turkish actors playing Trojans, and Cyclops actors playing Cyclopes."

My sister is providing refreshments for her church's coffee hour this Sunday morning. I am reminded that I'm not a fan of coffee hours. Come on. Who really needs nourishment in order to leave the building and go home? Maybe the choir. Everyone else has been sitting. #humor medium.com/the-haven/yo...
