I am raising money to try to get a robotarm prosthetic. I am very independent with arms and I can do things that I don't even realize, but all of those things will become much easier with arms. The ones that are out there are so much expensive,up $95 .000 gf.me/u/yqg5ry

During the holidays season, we purchase and use many items we don't normally use during the rest of the year. As you celebrate the Holidays Season, remember to recycle. #HappyHolidays #TownofNantucket #Nantucket #ReuseReduceRecycle

Participating in @ThePoetryPea was such a fun and enlightening experience. I learned so much about haiku I never knew before.
Call for #submissions of #haiku or senryu on the topic of trees. Deadline 8th July. Take a listen to the podcast and get a feel for what we're looking for... then submit via email poetrypea.com/category/podca…

I need to remember this.
When an editor invites you to submit again, believe it! We don't say that to be nice, we say it because we really do want to see more of your work.

Writing tip: If I’m struggling with a scene, I'll ask 1 question: What would it take to make this FUN to write? No restrictions on the answer. Could be adding a character. Could be changing location. Could be adding a knife fight. I don't always keep the result but very often do.

A real labor of love: I profiled 8 indigenous beaders for @voguemagazine. Beadwork is such a traditional craft and so integral to the community; these artists are modernizing their approach to it in thoughtful, and super chic, ways. vogue.com/vogueworld/article…
