And then, from within a celestial ray of light, God’s voice boomed down to him: “Try buying a ticket first.”--Marc Levy ❤️📚📖👓 ⠀ #whatimreadingwednesday #bookdragon #wednesdaywisdom #bookstagram #booklove #onmynightstand #kindle #translatedfiction #readbetweenthelines #learnsomethingnew #readandlearn #goodbook #marclevy #psparis #amreading #writerswhoread #readthenwrite #readersofinstagram #pagesandstories

You think cooler temps; I think lower humidity. ⠀ You think walking under colorful leaves; I think quiet beaches. ⠀ You think coats and boots; I think jeans, maybe a cozy sweater. ⠀ You think eating soup by a roaring fire; I think dinner with friends at a table by a cerulean sea. ⠀ You think snow; I think endless blue skies and the end of hurricane season. ⠀ You think pumpkins; I think pumpkins. ⠀ It's autumn in Florida. 🍁🍂🎃👻🥧 ⠀ #autumn #autumnvibes #fallinflorida #onlyinflorida #pumpkin #inthesouth #amwriting #writingcommunity #wordsaboutfall #wordsofmine #somewords #memoirist #essaywriting #tellmeastory #indiewriter #floridawriter #writerslife #writingtime #gooutside #writerscafe #writersofinstagram #pagesandstories

There’s a meditative cadence to the union of measured breaths and metered strides. Writers and runners both operate on linear planes, and the running writer soon realizes the relationship between art and sport is a mutually beneficial one.”—Nick Ripatrazone, The Atlantic. 🏃‍♀️🔥🌺🌴☀️🌊 ⠀ #writerswhorun #livetorun #runlove #run #roadrunner #nuunlife #trainhard #runchat #runnerscommunity #runningwoman #writinginmyhead #solitude #solitaryrunner #alonetime #marathontraining #peacewithin #runnersofinstagram #pagesandstories
