Why Scammers Target Authors -
Just spent five precious minutes of writing time faffing about resetting the default font so it won't be 'Aptos'.
Inner Cynic suggests it's Microsoft forward planning to hold everyone hostage once they decide Aptos is subscription only, and no one will be able to read anything published in it unless they pay a toll...
I'm sure I'm wrong. I mean, it's not like any techbro billionaire or company did anything similar in the past right?..

Post edited to remove a rogue 'of'.
That's what you get for editing quickly while not paying full attention to the job.

#PhantastikPrompts 11 pt2
discriminationThis topic simmers on the edge of boiling for 4 books, but in Kovenlore Book-5 it boils over and explores the toll it takes.
The fear, hatred, psychological torment, and unwarranted self-condemnation (and/or denial). It examines love, but also love denied, and the cruelty of those who’d take advantage.
That all in place, it sets these characters on a raft trying to reach home.

#WordWeavers Sept 11:

Hope: That she can never be anything more than decorative. -
#WritersCoffeeClub Sep 11:
What's a part of your process you'd give free advertising to?Cafes and garden centres*.
As previously stated, I need to leave the house to write much. Something in the psychology of leaving the house to work engages "work mode" in the brain, even if not in paid employment.
(Used to work in local libraries. Running into ex-colleagues tends to interrupt the work.)*In the UK often have large cafes.

#ScribesAndMakers Sept 11:
Our next featured creator is a group of three collaborators. Have you been part of a collaborative group for your creative work?Few times as an adult, but it didn't work well as the others weren't serious about the project.
The collabs I did as a child with other children were approached with greater professionalism than those of the adults I've worked with so far. Too much ego a-go-go in adults, I think.

There are numerous steps taken for each chapter in a targeted edit, some more general, others specific.
Regardless, there comes that moment when there’s a little twist in my middle. That’s the point when I realize that, yes, the chapter has taken that crucial step and will come together.
Oh how rewarding that is, another miniature milestone to serve as motivation.
Be everwell.

#Today 11
Good day!
We had a bear attack here recently.
Did someone startle a bear deep in the backcountry? Were they unprepared in the wilds?
The woman was walking her dog along the edge of the city. She survived, and is in serious condition in Seattle.
Be everwell.
