And this from a guy who once had this encounter:

(Nov 8, 2017) "Ma'am, if you don't stop reading over my shoulder, I'll start writing porn. If you're still reading, I'll make it gay porn. Then I'll add animals. If you're still reading after that, I'll ask for your phone number." #WritingInPublic
I'm trying to write a review of the chorale event I attended last night, but I can't because I'm at the cafe and if I do I'll break out in tears. Again. I'll try again later, when I have privacy.

Writers, Leaders, & Thinkers—I need your input!

For my book, I’m currently writing about the hidden cost of saying yes.

What’s something leaders should consider BEFORE saying yes to a request? Discuss below.

I committed to publishing one article weekly. The hardest part wasn't the writing, but the engagement. Here's what the numbers revealed. #writinginpublic

This week's #writing was very interesting. It came from a discussion with one of our team members. We often find that devs get "stuck" dealing with friction in their work. So this is my attempt to write (draft) down my thoughts about the topic.

Recognising friction and responding accordingly as an IC
We define Friction as the force resisting the relative motion of our activities. We can also see it as a feeling, what we feel when things are not going the way we expected them to. A feeling of drag.

Sharing my book’s Core Message out loud:

“Typical corporate pressures on your time are destroying your mental and emotional state. Permission granted: start from ‘no’.”

Continuing to share progress and updates to this #WIP. More soon.

"The first thing you should know is that fictional characters make terrible neighbours. What that says about my work, I’ll leave up to you.

It started on a Tuesday."

The shower thought that spawned the plot for my novel. 😂

Short narratives (myths, fables) are ancient, but the modern short story didn’t exist until the 19th century. There are the pioneers:
🔵Poe (US)
🔵Hawthorne (US)
🔵Irving (US)
🔵De Maupassant (France)
🔵Chekhov (Russia)
🔵Gogol (Russia)

One place I need to keep moving is in my exercise consistency—both during the week and across seasons.

Steady rhythm makes growth more linear, not up and down.

How do you keep consistency in your own life?

Today was my personal deadline to send 3 messy sample chapters of my book on conscious relationship design to alpha readers.

I’m not saying whether I hit send.

If you had to guess, do you think I pressed it… and how do you imagine I’m feeling right now? 😅

Writing in public is peaceful, until the world starts shouting things you didn’t ask to hear.

This one’s for the writers who keep going anyway.

I’m holding the piece for now.
Not out of fear—but because timing matters.
Sometimes the wisest thing is to speak when you’re free to be heard.
Soon. But not today.
