The closest story I have to this: one was set on an island, a snorkelling scenario.

Martin Luther King Jr and James Baldwin -

In one of James Baldwin's essays, he wrote that he was on a TV show with Malcom X. But what about MLK and Baldwin?

"Martin Luther King Jr. and James Baldwin’s Complicated Relationship

The civil rights leaders had great respect and admiration for each other, but they clashed on some of their core beliefs."

Q: Would you serve as a judge for a literary award?

A: Being asked to do that would imply I'm established with my own material.

Sooo... yes! 😍

[#]WritersCoffeeClub 16 Jan: How would you describe the way you create your stories to a non-writer?

I'd quote...

"It's none of their business that you have to learn to write, let them think you were born that way…"

I joined a writing contest group recently. The prompt this week was to describe a single ordinary object without naming it.

Feedback on my text was... :ablobcatrave:

-> "This is quite…sexy. I mean, soft curves and practised fingertips that also execute my commands? Sign me up, Sweetie!"

:dancingpenguin:

... Beats any marketing fluff.

Anybody needing any content to be written?

Two of my disks crashed this week. 🍿

Needless to say, I've been like a headless chicken... One is ok now. My partner is attempting to remount the second disk.

This second bad boy is apparently on NTFS, a Windows thingie. Now, since we only own Linux, we have a penury of Windows tools. I might need to schlep to my friend's place to fix it.

[#]WritersCoffeeClub 9th Jan: Do you borrow settings, plots or characters from other works (without plagiarism)?

I don't have a 'now, I'm going to borrow that setting' moment when writing. 🤟

Am I influenced by a work? Yes, by a sculpture, a book, a photo, etc... 🤍

Once that influence goes through one's grey cells, something new is developed.

Dear Ubuntu,

I learned yesterday that you have an admin account people can't log in to. I saw a number of little folders with a 'no, you can't access it' symbol.

I couldn't possibly type anything incorrectly under this obscure admin account, you see I'm not a dev.
