What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by?
…comes around.
Good books are amazing, great music is forever, and energy never lies.

So, I’ve been working on something…
A new book? Why yes! It’s finally, finally in the final stages of actually being done, wrapped up, all checks checked, all lights green and lit.
When exactly is it coming out? The hope is for an end-of-year release. The moment the date’s fixed, rest assured I’ll put it here.
So why this teaser? A few of you wordlovers witnessed how Chance Encounter came to be, right here @ threegoodwords, way back in ye olden dayes when I wrote up the first drafts. This teaser is for you and everyone who kept me going back then. Thank you for your interest in my writing, it means so much to me. And now, finally, that first draft is an actual book. And yes, I am a little (very) excited :)
Take care and, as always, thank you, merci, and dankeschoen for taking your time to read what I write. – j.d.
What goes around…
Do you believe in karma?
…comes around.
Vibes are information and energy never lies. Who soweth the wind reapeth the storm and F-ck Around and Find Out.
Karma is simply yourself coming back to you. What you dish out you inevitably take in. What you do unto others you inevitably do unto yourself.
Every “me” is always also a “you”. When you ask, “What about me?” (your self) you’re literally asking, “What about you?” (someone’s other).

Plan for it
How do you make time for self-care?
Boring, but it works.
Put self-care into your calendar and make that time non-negotiable. Start small: a walk, breathing exercises, whatever works. Refuse attempts to reschedule. No, you can’t move it back 30 minutes. You have an appointment with someone: yourself.
And take your lunch break. You need to eat and your mind and body need some rest.

That One Bookshop, You Know Which One
What’s a place you visited that felt like home?
Every once in a while, L-Space manifests in our world and it is glorious.
“The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one that looks as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more stairways than storeys and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The relevant equation is: Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read.” – Sir Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
