The fun of working on something you enjoy

i have had the opportunity to delve back in to my erotic fiction and i’m having such a great time thinking about writing sex as a radical act of resistance. there may be a workshop coming up. stay tuned.

what else is going on? freezing rain in Ottawa means no walking outside, bleh. Welcome to January. on days like this, my husband and I do a stair and hallway walk in our building. i also do a 75-minute fitness routine three times a week. i feel better if i move and stretch. less anxious.

i did a reading recently with a group of friends and it was lovely to spend time with them. i had a coffee date with a friend i hadn’t seen in ages. we talked poetry and filled each other’s brains and spirits with ideas.

i am applying the “lean into your weird” advice from someone here on Substack to my life these days. what are you doing?

a lengthier post later, methinks. wear your spikes if you go out on the ice, or if you’re writing. keep it spiky!

if you are interested in supporting my efforts here on Substack, please subscribe, either as a free or paid member. i will love you either way. or just be a voyeur. i will still love you.
