I really enjoyed your story, @estilodereba. You did a very nice job of showing the emotional intensity of the two characters. I thought I would share a tip with you. We have a great article on how to write

Thank you very much, @elizabethbit. I know others who are also allergic and it’s terrible — the welts and the horrible itching! Me, I fear mosquito-born illness like West Nile Virus! Thanks for the congrats

Thank you, @silvertop! It was a lovely weekend indeed and I gathered pictures for several more posts. 😁

Yes, I’ve been a terrible slacker. I’m trying to mend my ways. I had one of the busiest summers ever, compounded by learning how to market my book. Hopefully things will be calmer now and I’ll figure out

Thank you, dear @popurri! I am working in fits and starts to be more active on Hive again, outside of my admin role. Wish me luck. 😊

What a strange phenomenon. You must be thinking, “What is wrong with all of you? You’re my people!” I can see how you might alternately find it intensely annoying and humorous. A sense of “belonging” is

It’s amazing how a space can get cluttered and out of control! I keep tackling various spaces in the house — rooms, cabinets, closets. One day we will downsize and I dread having to do it all at once.

Thank you, @somsome17. I'm curious how you found this story, four years after I posted it. You must be a seeker!

Hi @offia66. You have some nice writing skills. I would love to see your stories develop more, with a bit more development of your characters, and more attention to detail. This story is terrific. I really

Wow, I never knew about your sister, @raj808. It's amazing to read about how diving helped with your recovery from the trauma of that time in your life when you felt so helpless, and like the world is

What a painful, beautiful and poignant story, @itsostylish. You captured adolescence and showed how it's painful enough even without a terrible family secret being revealed — but how an event like that

I finally feel optimistic. I will say that I lean left. I am not trying to write a highly politicized or inflammatory answer here. But from my perspective, a more youthful candidate not obsessed with their

I love it when a story says so much so succinctly — a story that invites us to examine our own lives, our choices, and whether we are using our time well, wisely, and with a conscience. Your story put

There are so many delightful lines and poignant moments in this story, @samsmith1971. I actually had to read it in stints, due to household interruptions, and each time I went back to a few paragraphs

What a wonderful legacy you have in your daughter and granddaughter. They are lucky to have you, and you them. It's lovely to pass the baton, and yet so bittersweet and heartbreaking when they actually
