@KristineCarey This popped up in my feed at just the right time. Thanks for a great reminder!

@Sethoh2 You certainly could! But what's more interesting is what an untrained dog will do in an unfamiliar room. That's what I explore in the article.

@Geeske15729199 Exactly! sometimes the things we all "know" are tough to demonstrate in a controlled study

@Storygeeks But of course, please do! It's your quote :)

[Maria Ter-Mikaelian @MariaTerScience]

Came across this quote while reading Anatomy of a Premise Line by Jeff Lyons @Storygeeks . Great advice for #Writers and life in general

[Maria Ter-Mikaelian @MariaTerScience]

@KristineCarey Thanks, Kris! As always, too many (conflicting) goals, too little time, but I am loving the summer and the partial break from COVID life. How about you? Hope to see you around in the writing group!

I wish Juliet Stevenson was on Twitter so I could thank her personally. I realized today that at least 15 of the #audiobooks I own are narrated by her, and all are excellent. She makes all the accents, regional dialects, and personalities come alive.

@CatherineElcik Well, precisely!

Why is it that random #books at a vacation house are always more tempting than the ones you picked out for yourself at a library or bookstore? 🤔

I know #freelancers ' experiences with @Upwork vary, but I've found some wonderful long-term clients through it. It can take a little patience to find them, but the good news is you don't need many to keep you in steady work 😀
