@sciencegirl And we’re not even cultivating them like we are with ginkgo and Avocados.

@thechrislarsen @StephenKing Bullshit. Most Americans envy you. Don’t be a victim.

@MrChew3131 Now if this guy had been on a mountain bike, this would have been okay, even the preferred route. Boo! Cars Yay! Bikes!

@40madhatter @StephenKing Is that social distancing??

[Jeff Van Valer @JeffVanValer]

@HollyBell8 Well so far. Zoomed with family today. Wrote fake news article about #influenza being #disgruntled @ #COVID’s enormous press coverage. #boggle with my son. Practicing #telemedicine all day tomorrow. Not too bad overall. Sorry to hear @ Mr.B’s coworker.

Really wanting a semicolon and the word “are.” @BCDreyer and Jeff Deck, wherever you are, #author of #TheGreatTypoHunt

The Institute by @StephenKing. Compelling as expected. 11’ in, and #proselytizing as expected. He should reread the excellent foreword of Night Shift by @JohnDMacDonald about #authorintrusion. Still, my fave #novelist

@BCDreyer Is it a “punctuate this” exercise?

[Jeff Van Valer @JeffVanValer]

Thank you, @MagazineRac, @bibliodiction, @JoanieChevalier

@NutshellVersion Any strong feelings about the phrase “prior to” and words like “utilize” and “pressurization?”

[Jeff Van Valer @JeffVanValer]

@KarmaLeiAngelo @writevent I try to mix them up. Long and short sentences. Kurt Vonnegut said to avoid semicolons. Not 100% sure why. But on the mixing up of sentence length: https://t.co/Kgiciwyqqp

@KarmaLeiAngelo @writevent Unless I spell #ellipsis incorrectly... then it doesn’t matter what I do with the three dots. 😳

[Jeff Van Valer @JeffVanValer]

@KarmaLeiAngelo @writevent Word hyphen hyphen word without spaces. I think that’s an em dash. That’s what I use. Or the same in the middle of a dialogue sentence to signify an interruption.

@KarmaLeiAngelo @writevent Evernote!

[Jeff Van Valer @JeffVanValer]

@KarmaLeiAngelo @writevent Circumstances (I’m salvaging long-written stuff) require skipping around. What sucks is hitting the writing station for my morning not knowing when I get there what, exactly, I’ll be working on. The fun quotient is not as high with this one!

“Sun dogs” in cold weather (-6°F) from a few years ago. Was on the interstate; lucky foreground placement. https://t.co/tH2UxjKPuv
