I tried, but did they listen???
Spoiler alert, a lot more gathered after them instead 🤣
I guess my argument was illogical!

I have been clearing stuff and making clothes donation. This is the second time I'm here and the resident dog recognizes me and imposes the same/more entry fee. ❤️

I lost the ball because we were distracted by a few dogs and forgot about it. When I strolled back I couldn't find it anymore. It was new. It's okay, hopefully a person or a dog is happy with it!

There are three types of people:
- people who always whine at the lightest inconvenience
- people who go through a lot of things but still be positive and a light to others
- people who whine about whiners using Iron Man meme

I cut my own hair during Covid, and I’m still cutting my own hair now. It’s nice because I don’t have to speak with the barber.

It's tedious to post the video in the actual article, so I do it here.
Every time we visit this beach, there is a group of older men lounging in the water, singing, and enjoying sunrise. Good life.🧡
Presenting: The Sunrise Outing, live in action.

Met Molly this morning.🧡
The sweetest stray dog and our best friend back then.
She was adopted a few years ago by a kind lady and we still cross paths sometimes. She is loved, doing well, still always hugs me dearly, and of course, remember my treats!
Then and now pictures.

I make my MC suffer so that you don’t have to. All you need to do is just read about it in a cozy, safe place.
Let him deal with all the shit for you.

Hey [your name], do you know about [witty mentions] about [one of my books], please [irresistible persuasion to buy].
See? I'm pretty good at marketing also! In your face, bots!

When you stop to take random nature pictures, when you are as nerdy and socially anxious as me, when you are kind to animals, and when you make or laugh at the same stupid jokes, I think you are pretty awesome, and I’m always happy to see you on my feed.

Going through older pictures and found this one, when Locky had started to learn swimming. He was afraid of anything and everything, including sea and sands. The key is patience, familiarity, never force them, and show them that you are there and they are safe.

When you want people to read your book, but then they have to go ahead and ask you about the book.

Have you ever aired your tiny frustration through your writing? I made my MC yell at someone because their rear wiper is asymmetrical. I know it’s common, but it drives me nuts sometimes.😬

My 24-year-old bicycle, resurrected after almost two decades. Nothing fancy, and it screamed all the way to the pier. 😆

I keep wondering why. I guess writing is very personal, it feels like they are peeking into our souls. Also, it would be hard to justify killing some characters with the same name and description. 🤣

Update on Archie: He takes every opportunity to sneak into my place and he has exorbitant rate for treat tax. Every time I leave my fence open, even for a while, he is here in my front door.
I have a new stalker. My neighbor's new dog thinks my hose water is the best quality in the world, my yard is his, and as long as I show my nose out there, the treat tax is unlimited.

I bought this. It's in mini size. I haven't started it yet, didn't know what was I thinking.

Indie authors are fearless. We explore unpopular topics, we dare to go against the flow, we are not afraid to be different.
There is only one thing that makes indie authors cower in fear. ONE THING!
THAT DAMN MARKETING!

I've had many colleagues who were trying to bluff work or challenging my claims without fact checking. They were willing to waste time on those.
My quickest way to shut them up is to make ‘finger bet.’ Anyone who was proven wrong would lose their finger.
It was very effective!

Mark Twain used to say ‘It’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt,’ and people would find wisdom in it.
Nowadays, NOPE, people are dumb, loud, and proud.

To be honest, I have no idea how to market ATLAS. It's my weirdest. I'm not even sure about its 'right' genre and made an alternate blurb to convey it better (which turns out even weirder 😅).
I'm very thankful readers are able to sum it up so much better.🙏

He dislikes them with passion! 🤣
The neighbor's cat likes to hang around our window back then, wiggling their butts and swag.
This is the real pic of how he kept watch with &*#@%🤣 and 2nd pic is the standoff with another one we met.

Do you guys wake up to the bird chirping, gorgeous flower blooms, or the smell of fresh coffee?
I wake up to this and I wouldn't have it any other way.
