You can nominate authors for promotion by reaching out to Graeme, who is the Author Promotion Lead. I'd say it's a good idea to do that. Myr and Cia don't handle promotions.

Happy Monday.. and Happy World Chocolate Day .. i can only eat it in very small amounts cuz of the potassium in it.. but i have some now and again. @kbois should make sure she enjoys a Boston Cream Donut with its lovely chocolate coating!

Well, maybe she's decided not to wallow and waste her time. Good for her... and i'm glad she has you for a friend. xo

oh Gary, that's so sad. xo

What can I say here except if you choose not to read this, then you're making a big mistake. The writing is inspired and sometimes beautiful. The story is not 'the norm' at all. Thank goodness. It's about humanity, love, and empathy, things we are not seeing a lot of during these dark times. It is not harsh and loud, but gentle, quiet and desired. It is what we all want. Read Wayne's wonderful tale of our world changed - for the better. You will not regret it for a second.

What is there to say? Bravo, to start with. Truly a wonderful story. You bring us a world we all seem to wish for, but we cannot build because of what we are. Sadly, we don't have a worm to fix us. But thank you for showing us what it could be like. Maybe in our own little worlds, we can have some success. 💖

Yeah, normal, ain't so normal. i like Wayne's suggestion and all you can ever do, honey, is your best and that is very rarely, if ever, the same way twice. These days i just do what i can do. i don't beat myself up if my list isn't done at the end of the day. Like yesterday, my list was, make burger patties, make a quiche, make use up the leftover pizza with salad for dinner, wash and block some afghan squares i've been making, go for a walk. Well, the list didn't realize that i haven't been sleeping well, and i didn't Friday night. So what got done out of my list? Going for a walk, making the burger patties cuz the meat was in the fridge and dinner (Michael stepped in and helped me with this one). The quiche and the squares got put off until today. Just do what you can do. The rest will wait.

Tour de France starts today.. to anyone who is interested in such things.. i've watched it and would again..

This is only the second time i've read something so moving...that there are really no words for it. The first time i managed to write this.. so i offer it here for you because it's all i have. Thank you, Wayne. Where There Are No Words Sometimes, only sometimes, you find something, Or someone, that is perfection. It will be a word, or a story or a phrase or vista That moves you, to a place where words have no value – No meaning or use. Where the beauty there, brings tears You cannot explain, nor can you stop. For there is just nothing else we have to offer in the face of it.

Thanks for sharing this, rick. i've been thinking about you and hoping that you were doing okay. i'm glad you got some support. That's great. Keep on taking care of yourself! xo

Good morning!

three words that should not be allowed to appear in this order ... just my opinion.

This is a super chapter. The suspense is perfect, very edge of your seat/ i cannot stop reading now stuff. Brilliantly done. i hope that brain of yours is working on your next idea or perhaps an older one, not yet written ...

If only the children knew of your sacrifice, chris...

Thank you, t.n. i appreciate the hugs. Writing gets the junk out of your head...better out than in, as Shrek said. 🧡

oh, I hope all is okay, A and you're feeling a bit brighter now. Hang in there and you know where i am if you want a chat. xo

Thank you. It's been awhile since i could write a 'real' poem. I have lots of support so, I'm sure things will improve. You take care of yourself as well.

Thanks, chris. 🧡

It is fought by many. Thanks, Gary, for your kind words. You're right, of course, this too shall pass.

❤️ Thank you, Michael ox

Thank you. 🧡

love you back, Reader. Thank you xoxo

Thank you, Gary. i'm sure things will get better.

@chris191070, @Wayne Gray @lawfulneutralmage @MichaelS36 @ReaderPaul @Parker Owens Thank you for reading and your comments. Things are stormy at the moment .. up and down. To make it worse i seem to have a plague of insomnia and headaches. Writing helps, it's been awhile since i've been able to write much. So thank you again for your kind words and thoughts. i hope you all keep well.
