@AmericanAir cancellations at at DFW and a 48 hour delay with no provision to get our luggage?

I told 4 that the mile walk to the park in 32 degrees might not work.

Him: We are not giving up!

Love the grit.

Who knew curling could provide this much suspense?

@stephenRB4 Yikes! I admire the commitment to caffeinating but still…that’s a lot. I don’t think I be able to sleep.

@CreatureAuthor My oldest used to say “happy New Year’s Day” rather than Happy Birthday. I put that in my book because I can make it make sense in sci-fi. Zero plot impact. +1000’s for personal meaning.

@HDunn_Writer For me the question is whether I am satisfied and can be proud of what I’ve produced. There is always more you can do but at some point you have to let go and release it to the wild.

@Zoejwalker But now you have all that new knowledge! Who knows when it might become relevant in a future story.

What is your preferred ratio of “do deep research” to “make stuff up on the fly” so the story works?

Asking for a friend.

@SDDonovan Sometimes I have to push through, even if I only get a hundred words down. Keep pressing the keys every day whether you feel it or not. I can sometimes break the block by reframing. Maybe the scene I’m stuck on isn’t needed or needs to be from a different POV.

@brantleywrites I hate that AI has turned a perfectly acceptable tool into a literary pariah!

A washed-up soldier. A governor's daughter with deadly secrets. A city on the edge of revolution. Sometimes the only way forward is to take a shot in the dark.

@KupcakeProse Add in a round as an audiobook narrator. It’s amazing what comes out when you read your own book aloud.

@HJamesWrites Car registration. It was the perfect size!

@SedonaCAuthor To paraphrase… “I have not yet begun to write.”

But there is still time!

Happy Tuesday! May your words flow and your plot holes be filled.

Been spending a lot of time understanding the marketing side of things. Focus is on ensuring my next launch is solid. Looking for the best of breed strategies!

[Jake Allen Coleman @JColemanBooks]

@realmattfalcon My day was good, but not 1300 words good. Keep the momentum going!

[Jake Allen Coleman @JColemanBooks]

@byMorganWright Seems reasonable. Nature abhors a vacuum so go create one to fill!

[Jake Allen Coleman @JColemanBooks]
