A blogger using the lens of clichés, quotes and "truisms" to digest life - its teaching and trappings - in bite sized pieces. Often irreverent. Always honest. Sometimes brutally so. On both fronts. #writerscommunity #amwriting #WIP (me & the book to be) mackfiles.com/about

I get panic/anxiety attacks. Rarely, but it happens. I try hard to not let my kids see/hear it. So far so good. Had a bad one today - the divorce was rough & we’re not exactly friends, but my ex distracted my kid while I battled it out on my bedroom floor. #MentalHealthMatters

I just wrote 1,261 words. It’s been so long that I’ve been able to sit down and do this, I was sure my writing muscles have atrophied. Turns out they are a little stale - but I remember that I can do this! It was painful - not physically, but emotionally. #WritingCommunity

I am a writer. Anything you do or say may or may not appear in something I write. You have the right to remain silent. I have the right to write. You have been warned. #writerscommunity #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife #Divorce #Truth #imback #TheTraitors

Ever do this because it’s only slightly better than shouting into the void?

Replying to @mackfiler
@mackfiler YOU are the amazing human & author. What an incredible surprise. I am speechless, that you would do this. I am so grateful & you are so fabulously kind. I don't know what to say, other than 'thank you', words seem inadequate.
Replying to @plstuartwrites
@plstuartwrites This amazing human & author in the #WritingCommmunity has written FOUR books in the saga since I’ve known him. I just found out they are all available in hardback. I will gift all 4 books (format of your choice) to the 4th person who reposts his post and DMS me.

I’m a Swiftie - no question. AND can we please stop with all of the “men don’t get asked questions like this?” He’s got to report to Vegas on Sunday for the SUPERBOWL - and he’s getting questions about his love life. #Feminism #TaylorSwift #TravisKelce

Please try to understand that medical ketamine therapy helps not just ordinary people like me - but extraordinary people like our BRAVE veterans who suffered unimaginable trauma and PTSD. #Veterans #ketamine (5/8)

I am afraid there will be a backlash against this invaluable, medical tool - solely because the headlines reads “Matthew Perry dies from the acute effects of ketamine”. It’s clickbait. (6/8)

I just wrote 3,500 words in 2 hours. For many moons it has been a struggle to get fingers to keys much less get 150 words down. Don’t give up #WritingCommmunity #writerscommunity #writerslift #inspiration #memoir

When I write, I allow myself access to my emotions. When I write, I allow others access to my emotions. When write, I allow others access to their own emotions. At least I hope so. #writers #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #vulnerability #brenebrown

@SnapeyWapey That sort of explains why I’ve been off and on for a couple of years…. A lot of material has been written about being human and fallible. Not ready to release yet. . Thx you for keeping me in the loop and always making me feel welcome if/when I come back 🥰
