Due to personal reasons I will be retiring to a secluded villa in the countryside with nine of my friends where we'll take turns telling stories that range from bawdy to tragic
A confession: I only use Twitter on my phone and my feed is absolute chaos. I have no structure, no groups, no one muted. It’s just a wave of tweets slipping and crawling over each other like a bag of greased cats. I need to fix this, but I’ve grown accustomed to the madness.

Barb has never committed a crime. She's worked hard to keep a low profile. Still, whenever she hears sirens approaching, she thinks, "They've finally figured out who I am. They've come for me at last." And she's always a little disappointed in them when it turns out she's wrong.

IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO WANT TO MAKE A LIVING OFF OF WRITING.
Don't let ANYONE make you feel bad for wanting to make ACTUAL FREAKING LIVABLE INCOME for your art.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MAKING MONEY FROM YOUR TALENT.

@MicroFlashFic The a/c in my car is broken and this is literally me before I leave work in the afternoon. Driving 30 minutes in a hot metal death box!! Woo!!!

My Netflix queue is full but there’s nothing to watch, my bookshelf is full but there’s nothing to read, and the graphics outside are awful.
When the real world doesn’t do it for me, and other people’s made up worlds don’t either, it’s time to get creative.
It’s time to write.
