This is 52! 18,980 days worth of sunrises & sunsets & stars & hikes & paddles. Some days better than others, surely, but a world so filled with beautiful spaces & creatures (people included) it leaves me breathless. Started the day & the year with a paddle, now to some painting, writing & editing.

This month marks my third summer editing The Sunday Morning Transport (sundaymorningtransport.com). I can’t believe it’s been two and a half years already — sharing new short fiction I adore with readers near and far.

WHAT IS THIS STORY?

To quote the Parkinson's Foundation: "On July 2, President Biden signed the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act into law. This is the first-ever federal legislation dedicated to ending Parkinson’s disease (PD)."

The Sunday Morning Transport dives into a dungeon today with a story from Scott Lynch (@scottlynch78.bsky.social) that takes us through a labyrinth from a number of perspectives not often considered. The first free story in our month of free stories!

Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

You can subscribe for free & read all the draft-vs-bird details right away. Subscribing also means you get all my news first, plus, at supporting levels, a lot of craft and whimsy. Supporting a creative Patreon is a great way to stay in touch with favorite writers & artists. I hope you’ll fly by!

Ever wonder about the story behind a poem? I’ve just shared (or possibly over shared) as July’s free for all post the story (and first drafts, drawings, and bird crossings) that went into “Moon Sun Shadow Crow” at my Patreo-blog-newsletter: www.patreon.com/franwilde

Was just asked in an interview what one piece of advice I have for new writers. Enjoy the act of writing. If you can enjoy the process--the one thing you can control--then you'll be more resilient in the face of the things you can't control. And in this business, you can't control most of it.
