I just received my very first royalty payment.

Sure, it wasn't very much, and only a fraction of what I have invested in the production and marketing of my books, but hey...

I JUST GOT PAID... FOR WRITING! 😃

[katkinneywrites @katkinneywrites]

Hello #WritingCommunity! For the month of July, I'm hoping to read and review at least five books by #indieauthors. Let me know if you've written one, or have any recs! I especially enjoy #romance #thrillers #fantasy but am open to everything.

Hi hi my name is Rachael and I am trying to find my way into the #WritingCommunity 👋🏻 maybe someone can help me out?

[Greathouse Horrors @ToldAshley]

Don't buy my books. They're probably haunted. You'll get ghosts, maybe. Do you really want to chance that? I mean, you'll be emailing me at 3am, talking about how your house is possessed and honestly I don't have enough coffee for early morning chats like that. Save yourself $12.

@EKTwrites The universal rules vs. your personal rules vs. editor's rules vs. rules of "the times."
This tweet spoke to me. And geez, has any of these crazy rule people taken a look at a classic? None of their rules seem to apply.

[Emily Thiede @EKTwrites]

Writing “Rules”

“NO!”

Cut the exclamation point

“NO,” HE SHOUTED

Just use said

“NO,” HE SAID

Isn’t he mad?

“NO,” HE SAID LOUDLY

No adverbs. Use action tags

“NO.” HE HIT THE TABLE

On purpose?

“NO.” HE HIT THE TABLE WITH FURY

Can you simplify?

...

“NO!”

... Nice

@CinaedhVik To each their own! I like to think of editing as ironing out a terribly wrinkled shirt. It's clean and washed, but still a mess. And it looks so GOOD folded and neatly put away.

Tweeting into the void. Your voice is unheard, as it is drowned out by a million echoes.

Yeah, me too. Hugs for everyone.

@CarynnBohley A surprise, but a welcome one.

I'm in the slump of "finished a novel, now what?" and "oh god, blurbs and searching for agents."
So instead of doing anything, it's time for Netflix.

@ohiowa89 Please give me silence. Silence never comes. I need one of those foam rooms for music artists.

[Shannon Yukumi (SY Field) 湯汲 @WritesSy]

@adamfgodfrey Sure!

[Shannon Yukumi (SY Field) 湯汲 @WritesSy]

@CloverErotica Maybe another question--is the disease their personality or does it give them motivation to do something?

[Shannon Yukumi (SY Field) 湯汲 @WritesSy]

@QuillQuestions None. I'm not nearly interesting enough to be a character. I like to make characters who I'd definitely never get along with--it makes conflict so much easier to write.

[Shannon Yukumi (SY Field) 湯汲 @WritesSy]

Twitter has recommended to me the Heart Failure Forum. Does it know something I don't? Panic mode activated.

[Shannon Yukumi (SY Field) 湯汲 @WritesSy]

After more than a year of writing during my lunch break at work, I have finished and edited my second novel. Now I can take a short break before the cycle begins again.
