Signing off for a bit. Between my physical health hitting the bottom and recent politics taking a toll on my mental health, I need some time away.

@AlexaNichols69 Mississippi had a similar bill go up in the state House. I'm not so sure they're entirely joking.

@lhallwriter Shit show circus

@whataimeereads_ I pick phrases or emotions in a scene and expand on those. In a scene, I look for where I can add texture (the 5 senses). But it's a tricky line not to over do it.

@moss_fiore If I'm publishing from Draft2Digital, I do my own. But KDP gives me homicidal tendencies so I hire that one out.

@GabrielVeron22 @hulu And I notice you didn't respond to my point: You look like Trump. You're not worried about his bad policies because you have nothing to fear. You're his target audience so you and Carrie can crow about unity. Some of us don't have that luxury

Listening to the boring work meeting in my headphones. I'm not going to stay awake for this entire conversation. I hope my mic doesn't turn on when I start snoring.

@stephenRB4 Ocean of Ireland has a nice ring to it. Perhaps the Gaelic Ocean?

Congress should represent the people and the people include naturalized citizens. A single Congressperson doesn't have the power of POTUS so the requirement can be different w/o endangering national security, though in truth, POTUS being citizen born has been shown to be useless as well. These folks can be a foreign agent just as easily as a naturalized citizen.

@J_Schiecke I love that premise. Cabin in the Woods is one of my favorite movies, especially its little twist at the end. Let me know when your comes out!

[Selena Powers @WriterSelenaP]

@onealwalters I think you need to be aware of the trends. If the market for your book uses X as cover art, then it can be helpful if yours looks like that. It's an auto connection for the reader. But sometimes breaking the trend is better. Knowing the how and when is the magic.

[Selena Powers @WriterSelenaP]

@struutinsky I use placeholders all the time. (use word that means X) or (find out where this is). I try not to run down a rabbit hole if the words are flowing. I can always fill that in later when editing.

@brclothwrites I have stress dreams mostly. I'm trapped in a parking garage that's collapsing, or I'm on a 12 lane highway and need to get somewhere but traffic is a nightmare. Sometimes my daughter is involved and I can't save her.

@geostylegeo I think it's the acidity of the grapefruit that can alter the interaction of the drug with the blood.

[Selena Powers @WriterSelenaP]

I could use your good thoughts today. Yet another doctor. Let's see if we can go 5 for 5 on "we don't know come back in 3 months and we'll try and figure it out."

[Selena Powers @WriterSelenaP]

@ask_aubry Everyone is talking about this guy here in Phoenix. Such a loser. Scottsdale is a much nicer place than he's made it out to be.

[Selena Powers @WriterSelenaP]

@LindenmuthWendi No. It's a little maddening at the moment.

@WillieHandler Told you the AC was too high before you went to bed.
