@deapoirierbooks In 2019 I will probably be a better person.

...Hmm.

Happy Thanksgiving, #writerscommunity! I really appreciate how supportive and friendly everyone I follow on Twitter has been. 🦃

@MeganLin90 This sounds like the beginning of a quirky dystopian novel.

@stone4031 Yes! It's number one on my list of favorite punctuation symbols—maybe tied with the Oxford comma.

Regarding #NANOWRIMO

I have done it twice and, in my experience, the best thing that comes from it is developing the habit of #writing every day. If you write 300 words a day, that’s over 100,000 a year. Books happen that way. #keepwriting #NaNoRebel #NaNoWordSprints #rt

@keenonwords Yesterday alone I spent around 3 hours trying to find a list of the most popular Russian given names in 1994. The struggle is real.

Can anyone else relate to this?

Me: Tomorrow's the last day before #NaNoWriMo...!
Friend: It's also Halloween.
Me: Oh, yeah. That too.

@MarlynnOfMany Good luck in November! I'm rooting for you. Also, that name choice is 10/10

[Bea Brennan @AuthorBea]

People who are doing #NaNoPrep, what's your book about? I'm curious.

[Bea Brennan @AuthorBea]

@DruHealy That's the worst! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

[Bea Brennan @AuthorBea]

@SherlockofHomes Thank you! I think it's pretty great, too 😉And it's nice that people I share it with tend to be awesome.

How ALL writers should handle bad reviews...

@CDAndrews11 Yay!! Congrats 🎉

[Bea Brennan @AuthorBea]

@TheMotleyNews That's hilarious! I do the same thing. It's like I think, "Hmm, those names sound good together..." and then I notice why.

[Bea Brennan @AuthorBea]

When you find a name that sounds perfect for your character...then realize that you can't use it without feeling weird about it, because you know someone whose kid has that name. #writerproblems

@Violet_prep Google Docs! I like the security of automatic saves and how the internet makes the doc accessible on multiple devices. One NaNo I lost 10k because of a computer crash, and I've used only programs that automatically save to the internet ever since.
