@ToddBrison Is there a name for sentence or phrase structure that goes alphabetically?
(It's fun or I'm being too silly? )

Spring:
It’s snowing but
The birds!!!!
I saw 15 magpies at once! 2 woodpeckers on the same tree…
Now strangle a lone red winged blackbird (they’re usually in giant flocks) and a stellar jay, house finch, chickadee, and more! What a day #merlinbirdid

I don't write because:
I don't care what anyone thinks about what I say
I'm afraid of having an unpopular opinion
I like attention, but not negative attention

You may not be able to do everything you believe you can

To be a writer somewhere
You have to be a reader there too
To be a good listener

To be a balanced human
You must attend to your shadow and your light

Scribble, erase, write
Brainstorm, calculate, solve

How to “Notice the signs”
1. Take note of what grabs your attention
2. Before dismissing it, or judging it, see what else comes to mind
Example: I’m interviewing for jobs, very different companies. Then a post happened to pop up on LinkedIn…

And it was from a software engineer who mentioned job hunting and getting to consider offers from very different companies.
One for a high paying, great benefits place
Another from a place with less pay but a better culture fit
She ended up with time to decide….
