He is still at it. “When Trump cries witch hunt, it is a rallying cry. It is not designed to prove his innocence but to whip his listeners into a frenzy, to turn their ire upon those who were so bold as to think they could hold him accountable. Donald Trump, like witch hunters throughout history, has proved skillful at flipping the narrative, writing himself as the victim even when he is the aggressor. When Trump cries witch hunt, it is to summon the hunters” (The Nation). Come Tuesday, let’s remember what turmoil and division and danger he has brought to our country these last 10 years, and curtail his revenge tour with a vote that allows truth to resurface.
Launching a Novel in the Digital Age
Defying the digital age with a debut novel might seem a challenging task, but I do believe there are far more readers out there than headlines indicate, and I am delighted that so many of them are reaching for mine. Crazy String got her launch party and readers came through with support and encouragement, so big thanks is due, especially to those who are reading my novel while the baby naps, or before they head to work, or after giving feedback on a pile of student essays, or instead of all the distractions found on their many screens.
Another Trip Around the Sun
I’m in the midst of pre-birthday and pre-book launch tasks, and as joyous as both these events are, they have taken up my time, so this post is from 2020. Remember that cra-cra-crazy year? Well, thankfully, in this post, I only wrote of the joy and lifelong love of my many aquatic adventures. Birthdays are reminders to feel my great fortune for all the love from those who raised me, for those who have surrounded me for decades and been part of my escapades, and for the friendships and living still ahead. I am grateful for you readers too. Indeed, as Rumi assures us, When you do things, from your soul, you feel a river, moving in you, a joy.
Read on my dear one. “Water baby” is pure delight, xxoo
