What happens to me as a writer, as a person, if chronic illness takes my writing away? Who am I even? Can I survive this tearing apart of my core identity? #writesky #chronicillness #writing

Don't know if I will survive the constant piling on of griefs, the OCD, AuDHD, the chronic illness trauma and burnout and the myriad of everyday "no big deal" for other people that overwhelms me every day. Or the loneliness and isolation. I didn't ask for this. #chronicillness #OCD #mentalhealth

Quoting this for emphasis. TAKE BACK THE DASHES! I WON'T STOP USING EM-DASHES JUST BECAUSE AI DOES IT I use Word, which Kayleigh talks about in the second post, so I don't have the keyboard shortcuts memorized. Scrivener also autocorrects two hyphens to an em dash.

Maire Brennan (Clannad) dead at 73. :'( How I loved her singing and her harp playing. Such a huge part of my life. There is a hole in the world now. But also, it's Lloyd Owen's 60th birthday -- my Captain, Elendil, hero and inspiration. Welcome to the 60s, Lloyd. #Clannad #RingsOfPower

He is risen! Estel is a Thing. May the Resurrection of Jesus give you hope as you navigate the dark places of this world, the dark nights of the soul. Eternal truth, hope of the most real kind. He. Is. Risen. #hope #Estel #Tolkien #Jesus

I guess Mira is the deut, though she's almost as important as Ari. They're married, they met when he was in port from a stint at sea (naval officer), ordinary day that became extraordinary. Getting involved with each other, definitely good. They need each other! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Courtship has phases, from casual friends to exclusive couple, to betrothal then marriage. Marriage is a solemn oath, lifetime bond, sacred. Two people only. For most of the people it's equal partnership. One faction believes men are head, women are submissive. #WriteSky #WritingCommuity

Ari gazed into her eyes. “Forever, then, my Star-Girl? Shall we belong to each other forever?” “Forever,” Mira whispered against his lips. “From the moment we met throughout all the days ahead, and into eternity.” #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Ari and Mira are the most adorable couple in the history of everything. But they're not sickly sweet. Just a man and a woman made for each other, loving each other through trauma and war and alien invasion -- and a PITA son. Ari's Star-Girl, Mira's Beloved. Pieces of each others' souls.

Ari is a naval captain and very disciplined. He's proficient with a sword and flintlock barb-shot pistol, passing fair with a longbow. Very strategic. Very deadly in battle. And do not mess with his wife or kids. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Mira is a spiritual leader, but she's extremely proficient with a longbow, and knows how to use a sword. Forced into battle, she's not someone you'd want to be fighting against. But she hates fighting. Only does it when her family/people are in danger. Afraid of Ari's pistol. #WriteSky

Her hands enveloped his face and she gazed deeply into his eyes. “You have redeemed the failure of your father multiple times over this day, Ariden. I beg you to release yourself from the bonds that memory has laid upon you and be freed." Den-Aronel Chronicles, Bk 1 #WIPSnips #WriteSky

A lot more than I realized at first, I think. And it doesn't show up in the more obvious parallel ways, but it informs a lot of the worldbuilding and some of the plot.

There is an entire continent of harsh desert and another that is polar and too cold for anyone to live on. So two out of five continents are not habitable. #FebruaryWorldbuilders #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

“It’s all right.” She beamed at him and embraced him more tightly. “I love you no matter what you smell like. You’re the best Fathi in the whole of the universe, and I am so glad…so glad you didn’t die today.” (Den-Aronel Chronicles, Bk1: The Flight) #SundaySnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

For Ari, "home" is his wife's heart. But also...their coastal village that was destroyed by alien invaders. Now living inside a mountain, he feels acutely the loss of the freedom of their home village and the sea. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

The scope is wide -- family to village to world to star system. Mostly it's inside a mountain where my characters are taking refuge from alien invaders, but sometimes it bleeds out into the larger world and to nearby planets. #FebruaryWorldbuilders

Ari's would be Literature or History. I'm not sure what XC club. Mira - torn btwn Choir and Literature. Key Club Ro - Science. Academic Decathlon Lyr - Choir. Drama Club Kir - would be ditching school to go out in nature.

My therapist is quitting. I get it, they're human and get to have lives, but I still feel abandoned, betrayed and devastated. Things were working. She was an ARFID specialist. I had hope for the first time in a long time. Gonna just curl up in a ball for a few months... #therapy #arfid

At this point, if you still support the Orange Cheeto, you can stop calling yourself a Christian. There is no "little Christ" who would approve of this guy for any reason whatsoever. #christianity #MAGA #AmericanChristianity #Jesus_follower

3. I am grateful for the wonderful assisted living facility that fit my 90+ parents' unexpected and urgent need for a new home, and that we still have them both with us for another Thanksgiving. I can't imagine what it would have been like without Mom.

Ari and Mira were made for each other from before the beginning of time, so there is no one else they could even fathom loving. Theirs is a love for the ages, they are each other's safe space, the repositories of each other's hearts, souls, lives in a dark world. A most beautiful love.

One more time: As it’s not “weaponization of justice” for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to rob a bank, it’s also not weaponization of justice for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election.

As someone who has macular degeneration in both eyes, I encourage everyone, especially older folks like me, to get tested. It can't be cured, but it can be slowed drastically. Many never dev severe case if caught early.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.
