Writing cringe-worthy material and hitting publish anyway

July 30, 2021July 30, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

A writing friend of mine wrote a little story the other day and shared it with me with the words “don’t laugh”. (I laughed… 😃 ) He isn’t currently publishing anywhere so there is no link.

Immediately after I read it (and lol-ed), I was so inspired I typed out a related story into my Evernote app. But before I decided to publish it on some platform, I hesitated. The content is a little cringe-worthy, truth be told (but relatable to so many of us).

Still, I dithered and dilly-dallied. It took the same friend to encourage me to get over myself and post it despite the cringe-worthy content.

Tarot Supplement – Irritated about The Lovers card

July 25, 2021July 25, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

Disclaimer: I am not religious, and my observations and interpretations of this somewhat religious tarot card may sound a little crass to those of you who follow a deeply Christian worldview. Comments are welcome but will be blocked if they attack or otherwise offend me or my readers.

The Lovers card in upright position in the classic tarot deck irritates me. At least at first glance.
