“Monday, Monday, so good to me …” That's just me dreamin’ —a California girl remembering a different time. But here we are—Monday and all.
I hope you had a superb weekend and are ready for a superb-er week.
Let’s talk about where I’ve been and where I’m headed. Hope you’ll tag along.
Last week’s ponders
Phaiku No. 13: The Yin and Yang of Luck and Life - a balancing act between Nothing Lucky and Everything Living
Starwoven - Episode 11: Ancient Star Wanderer - did you listen to Issi’s space shanty, Threads?
Wednesday Whimsy #21 - a two-part whimsy based on true tide (Part 2 this week.)
Words That Bind - the latest essay in Crafting the Whale’s Tongue and how I am inventing an alien language
From the Cellars of Jlynn - Vol. II - a dance with a fine—very fine spirit. The Glenlivet Affair—read responsibly.
This week’s wander way:
Mon: Phaiku No. 14 - a phaiku written in Threlraan—an alien language (now that was fun!)
Tue: Starwoven - Episode 12: Where I Begin - the final episode … but not to worry, an ebook version is on it’s way. I’ll keep you posted.
Wed: Wednesday Whimsy #22 - the Muse reaches for more than facts from the Dolphin House experiments
Thurs: Writing the Light - a lesson on how we came to write and how the Biet Lagos may have been taking notes. The fifth essay in Crafting the Whale’s Tongue..
Fri: pssst … someone may be sneaking the day off.







I think I need to adjust my settings so more of your posts come to my inbox. But what I do get to read, I always enjoy. Thanks for putting your lovely work into the world and inspiring me!
Keep on thinking, writing, learning, and having fun. That is what it is all about.
