You have to ask for stories - to save lived history and culture. AI is great for some things but greatest loss is our ability to think, and research to make sure what AI feeds you is correct. Too many already don't think or research, just blindly believe. #AI #lifewriting

When despair for the world grows in me ... I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds I come into the peace of wild things ... #WendellBerry #poetry www.kirkusreviews.com/news-and-fea...

My website was down from power outage in Chicagoland from the terrifying #storm Tuesday. 10am sky was green-black, reminiscent of the 1990 killer tornado that struck my hometown while I was back visiting. Wrote about it to save that memory. Many scary storm stories in this book - write the stories!

So many veterans would not speak of their experiences. My Korean War vet friend wanted his notes from the trenches published so we would know and more fully honor what the combat soldiers had to endure - all honor to them. Battlefield Doc by William "Doc" Anderson. #KoreanWar #history #warmemoir

We recently have Mr. & Mrs. Foxy Loxy boldly wandering our neighborhoods to feed their youngsters. Rather exciting to see them but keep your chickens safe! #wildlife

Report for March shows good European sales for Battlefield Doc. June is the anniversary of the start and the ceasefire for the Korean War... the memoir honors what our troops endured. #KoreanWar #military #medic

Remembering those who gave all, not just for our country, but to help other countries fight for their freedom against fascism. Remembering the families of the fallen, too - they will never forget. #MemorialDay

Happy Mother's Day to all who lovingly mother. And be aware that it's a difficult day for some, especially those who have not had good mother relationships. Love your mothers while you can, forgive them their foibles and faults. They gave you life and love you as they are able. #happymothersday

I'm not at all Irish but accidentally wore green today, then remembered to make corned beef & cabbage and Irish soda bread (breadmaker). Somehow I don't feel right making this favored meal any other time... tradition can be restrictive. #traditions #StPatricksDay

On #InternationalWomensDay I think of my mom who survived WWII, married the "enemy," and started a new life in a strange land. Did not know much of her early years until I sat with her to write her memoir. Write the stories! #history #lifewriting

This was the shuttle we watched from outside our house in FL each time it took to flight, so seeing "our" shuttle explode real time on TV when we moved to AL was like a violent death in the family. #lifestories #history #Challenger

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Remember the victims, and do not repeat the silence that implies consent. Do not let lies blind you from seeing. It didn't suddenly happen one day... it took time to groom the people. #history #holocaust #oppression #murder

For most author's it's not worth the big $$$$ to hire a publicist, OTOH most authors fail at marketing. However, it's long-tail marketing so you don't have to be everything, everywhere, all at once. #writingcommunity #authors #bookmarketing
