Because a large section of Highway 12 along the Outer Banks was torn up by this nor’easter, we’re taking a different route back home from Ocracoke Island, and that means we have to stay here a few extra days for a ferry. No better place to be!

From Demon Flying Fox: Greenland has made an alliance with the Democratic Penguin Alliance to combat the imperialist threat from the United States. This is the first time I’ve seen this! It’s so perfect— I love it, from he graphics to the music!

As a writer, I enjoy a challenge and decided to write a fuck-free novel (not the act, but the word). There ended up being one fuck. Just one… and a handful of shits. 😄 Read more about cursing in fiction, how it impacts readers, and word choices on my Substack. It’s free. #writersky

A lifetime of sad lessons, reduced to one obvious grammatical error.

On the OH turnpike rest stops, you order and pay for your fast food from a screen. Then, in the little mart where they sell snacks, coffee, and such, there was no one behind the register. Luckily we spotted the self-checkout for the coffee my husband poured himself. Weird.

If I can reach the toy, I’ll toss it. And he knows it, too — if I move my hand around and say “Where is it? I can’t reach it,” he’ll pick it up and drop it closer to me.

To be honest, as long as I can reach the toy, I will toss it for him. And after a bit of tossing, he washes my ears, so it’s all good!

Nothing is better than lying down on the floor to relieve your back pain and having your dog shove a toy into your gut because said dog thinks why else would my human by on the floor. #corgisky

So, you’ve probably never wondered about the lyrics to “Drunken Sailor,” or what “Weigh heigh and up she rises” even means, but if you’re a writer, you may need to know! Falling down rabbit holes of research is the joy of writing. lindaksienkiewicz.com/drunken-sail...

Good morning! It's a great day when your novel finds its way into a publication dedicated to women's fiction. *Love and Other Incurable Ailments* is featured in this issue of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association TBR (To Be Read) magazine. You can read it here tinyurl.com/m6v55fux #booksky
cover of TBR fall addition magazine, with a pumpkin and a book, listing author interviews and New and Noteworthy, including Linda K. SienkiewiczCover of Love and Other Incurable Ailments by Linda K. Sienkiewicz, with a description of the book about an anxious overthinker who discovers a box of discarded love letters and ends up chasing a fantasy 900 miles from Michigan to Ocracoke, NC in search of the stranger who wrote them. There she discovers unexpected friendships, uncomfortable truths, and the possibility of love. But when her happy ending goes awry, she must decide if holding on or letting go is the bravest thing she can do.
