I've decided my word for 2023 is glitter.

This week's Vella episode mentioned lobster cars in "Rising Tide - A Seaside Romance." Here's what a lobster car is (floating dock with a building)... and isn't (or, maybe it is?).

Well, 3 hours and 1,500 words later is more of a #wordmarathon rather than a #wordsprint! But they're good words, so I'll take 'em! #amwriting

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

Shoot - I keep missing the #writersprints. I guess I'll have to keep my own sad self on track. #amwriting

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

@writingsprinter Had to figure out the math! Team Yellow at 338. Taking a break. Back later! #amwriting #writingsprints

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

@writingsprinter Got off to a slow start. Team Yellow reporting in with 176 words.

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

@writingsprinter Team Yellow - 448 words! Yay!

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

Well, didn't get all the words in I'd hoped on that last #writingsprint. But I did rip a bunch out and put better ones in! That counts, right? #amwriting #amediting (and apparently, #amrevising!)

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

It's that time! #writingsprint time! Let's see what I can do in 45 minutes.#amwriting

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

@Premium_authors Thank you!!

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

Good morning! *dusts off Twitter account* Time to get back to #amwriting and #amediting again!

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

That moment when you discover a crutch word in your manuscript ...in over 50 pages! Apparently, I like the word sort. I have all sorts of sorts. Sorts of. Sorts out. Of sorts. Some sorts. Sorts of things. This sort. That sort. Ugh. So many sorts. #amediting #amrevising #sorting

Watching @plotwhisperer video courses on revision. Great stuff! Really having to pull myself back from watching all the videos in one sitting. #dothehomework #pacing

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

@laurenbeehler @APStylebook Oh, for sure! It demeans women specifically and, I'm all for adjusting language for parity. My beef is that the @APStylebook is the official word influencer and lover/companion just does not cut it for adulterers.

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]

@laurenbeehler @APStylebook Because the trickledown whitewashing of language in the media starts with the @APStylebook. To call a person who has entered into an adulterous relationship a "lover" or "companion" undermines the sanctity of marriage. It's insulting to the families and victims of adultery.

@writingsprinter 198 for yellow! #writingsprints #amwriting

@writingsprinter Yellow slowly rolling in with 225. 😜

[Anna M. Conrad @AMConrad_Author]
