A benevolent act amongst vegetables
Today the woman at the farmers market gave me my vegetables for half off. I wonder if she noticed how swollen my eyes were and remembered a time when hers were too. I had showered and put on some makeup to even out my complexion from crying all evening and morning, but I couldn't get rid of the puffy eyes so easily.

When Contradicting Images Reveal More Than Logic
I have a history of analyzing the utterly brilliant and soul-touching poetry of Mesh Toraskar. It seems I’m unable to read his poetry and move on with my life, as each line, each half-line, each word is so rich with imagery, references, concepts, et cetera, that it requires taking slow, quiet time to fully appreciate it all. He took quite a long break at the beginning of the year before returning in April with the stunner, “fresh terror to love.” He has published two more pieces since then, one poem and one Feast narrative, both of which I highly recommend. You’ll quickly deduce that I will recommend everything this man has written. Anyway, I promised to come back when words were no longer failing me and I did not. A lot has happened to me and it simply has not stopped, yet this is no excuse for being mute to the following beauty.

Medium.com Has Failed Its Writers...It's New CEO Is At Probably Fault.
When I joined Medium in 2019, it was a lifechanging experience. I was about two years out from my mother's death and going through a sort of personal revolution. I was in therapy and looking for a way to use my experiences to help other people. As I hit publish on my first post, I didn't realize I was starting on a path that would lead to a full-time career and a personal brand.

Want to Be a Wealthy Writer? Know How Language Works
If you aspire to be a wealthy writer, you have to know how and why language works. It’s pointless to argue that one use of a word or phrase is absolutely correct and all other forms are dead wrong. There is often not a perfect rule for writing, or even punctuating, since several things impact any language, some without much forewarning. Bang! OMG suddenly appears as a WORD in the freaking Oxford Dictionary!

Hannah's Challenge Results
It has been a quiet busy week here in at Chez Hannah. No, not quite a busy week. A quiet busy week. One where none of us had too much on individually, but together, it added up to a lot. On Monday, July commenced, marking the end of Hannah's challenge, quite before I was ready to take action to judge it, because on Tuesday, after working day was over, my daughter returned to school to give guided tours into the evening on their open day, and on Wednesday, we all got up at half past four to pack my son onto the school minibus to travel 160 miles up the country and 160 miles back down to represent his school in a Warhammer tournament. On Thursday, the UK went to the voting booths in near record breaking numbers, with only one lower turnout since 1885, and on Friday my parents, who live an hour away, phoned to say they thought they would come to visit for the weekend. "That's lovely," I said, "what time will I expect you?" It was 10.16 in the morning of my day off, and in the spirit of mutual accountability, my partner and I had not long sat down side by side, he to do an urgent piece of administrative work for his paid employment, and I to read a couple of dozen pieces of uplifting writing.

Digilibraries
I'll never beat The Art of War. But let me explain why. About a month ago, I received an invitation from DigiLibraries to post my books there. Obviously, they post free ebooks. I have several ebooks I have authored and I post them for people to download for free, even though I retain the copyright. It's free for the reader, but that doesn't mean people can use my writing without my permission.

She Just Wanted a Coffee
I sat in the coffee shop the other day. I had a seat by the window because I liked to watch people come in and out. I like to see what kind of car they drive, or if they ride a bike, or if they walk. I like people-watching in general. I especially like it when I’m writing and have a moment to myself when I pause and tune back in with reality.
