Rules are just to test whether you are more Terrier than Bassett hound.

I'm eager to hear the results, no matter what they are, of your submissions. I'm behind you all the way.

Any calories are better than no calories!! No shame, baby. You managed to put fuel in the tank at all; that's a win.

If you at some point just need a total distraction, go to YouTube and look up "House hearing on UAPs" (a couple weeks old now). It's got everything- UFOs, aliens, gratuitously and publicly incompetent fuckwads, petty political mudslinging, the works. A fascinating watch from start to finish, with plenty of interesting implications to take your mind off your regular human concerns.

Wishing you the very best of luck and expedience (again) in getting your work published. I believe in you!!

Yippee!! Two down! I’d reward myself with a Power breakfast too…although I did have a quite little chuckle to myself that you couldn’t find a topic for the op Ed. … really?!?!

Looking forward to hearing of your success!!!

For a time, after a major surgery, I survived off of Premiere Protein drinks. I couldn't eat solid food but needed protein. I particularly like the chocolate flavored one, and sometimes add it to my coffee to make a "mocha". The caramel flavored one reminds me of butterscotch, in a good way. There's no shame in finding sustenance during hard times, imho.

do it! I too hate rules and I know that you don't really need them to shine (thinking of the dragons again) - but you can do this.

Caffeine and all its variants are what we need to hold us together to do what we need to do. Keep it flowing. Best to enduring all that life is throwing at you

Wishing you the best of luck with your submissions. I don't think you'll need it though! I'm not alone in enjoying your writing. I look forward to seeing your email come through and have missed them recently. It's okay though. Work on your heart's truth! Can't wait to see the outcome!

Protein shake with coffee? Might pass that along to my husband. He's the coffee drinker of the household, though he's successfully swiched over to English Breakfast tea most days. Still loves himself a good Americano now and again...
