@stephanjhahn I'm not sure the two can truly be separated, as they affect one another too intimately. So, my cop-out answer is: both!

@mims_words I would perish immediately in the Star Wars universe, so, Star Trek please.

@PatheticLoserAB Depends on if they consider Dance Dance Revolution a "dance". 😉

@canuckclick Never underestimate the power of a good kill. My characters exist to serve the story, and if they happen to serve best by ceasing to exist...well...🔪

@JackDeanna After a good ol' fashioned bout of despair...someone else's laptop.

Or pen. Pen sounds good too.

Me: I'm going to #edit my #WIP tonight.

My brain: No, write long, detailed backstories for insignificant side-characters instead.

Me: Yeah, ok, or we can do that.

@ReneeGendron My first instinct is to check for redundancies. Scene redundancy, line redundancy, word redundancy. Does everything on your page develop or move your story? Or is it "fluff", per se?

@js_shadowdancer We're buddies again! Hurrah! All is right in the world.

@JDCaren I tend to skip over glossaries. And maps. And family trees. I like my worlds built from the inside out, not the outside in.

@js_shadowdancer I sent an invitation!

[Jennifer Chen (on hiatus till the new year!) @JennChenAuthor]

@js_shadowdancer You're doing NaNo this year, right? What's your handle? I'll add you.

[Jennifer Chen (on hiatus till the new year!) @JennChenAuthor]

@js_shadowdancer Same here. I feel like the old site was much more intuitive. And they deleted all my old friends! 😤

[Jennifer Chen (on hiatus till the new year!) @JennChenAuthor]

@christafuzz89 That's amazing! Congrats!

[Jennifer Chen (on hiatus till the new year!) @JennChenAuthor]

@the_nopes @DebHannagan Hmm, strange. I can try to add you if the web's giving you troubles. What's your handle?

@DebHannagan Man, sorry for the late reply. I got buried in a massive Twitter tag pile for a while (the best sort of pile, if I'm being honest).

And yes, I've been running it over in my head for about a year now. Super excited to give it a go.
