Decided my deadline for finishing The Romancing of Tuesday Dennings is May 2021! I hope that's when i'll share it too, this is the third draft so I don't think it would be too much editing. But to be safe, the publishing date will June '21. π
I wrote for 15 minutes today, which might not sound like much, but is actually immense progress for me personally. Im really really proud of myself, and feeling more confident that tomorrow I can once again make that small but important bit of progress. #WritingCommunity
@scrawlingwords that's so messed up, this isn't at all what happened in the show. shame on that tweeter for lying. and I totally agree, it's actually one of the best shows I've seen that portrays addiction accuratelyand someone really hitting their lowest point
@WryneckW Sorry you're going thru that, some people really have that much time on their hands? Weird how some get so focused on other people for no good reason
@WryneckW Granted, I haven't read your book yet nor the book I'm about to mention but...isn't After, you know, that book turned into a movie? Everyone calls it 50 Shades for teens. So why aren't they doin anything abt that if they care sm about teen sexuality? π€
@TalkingSchmidt@scrawlingwords @xi_witch @IHunt@CatZini@jamesmurtagh uhhh but you are the one calling people "dummies" for casual questions. you're seriously saying that's adult behavior? she wasn't even accusing you, did u not realize that? why so defensive.
@MissPiinnkkii I don't mind it. It's authentic to how we actually speak so it lends a realistic tone. That's just me though. I don't even notice it actually!

Any mystery/crime authors out there got tips for a first-timer? Never written crime novels before but I had an idea I like, abt a private investigator. How do I start? I have no idea how to write a good crime to solve lol. #mysterywriter#crimewriters
Never delete or throw away stories you dislike. Never. You never know if one day, a decade later, you'd give anything in the world to reread it. Even if you think what you wrote is awful, tuck it away somewhere safely!
@SophieAPollard I've got so many journals and computer documents with stories, I even have a floppy disk w/ a story I wrote in the 90s when I was like 8-9 yrs old lol. But I wrote a short novel as a teen I fully wiped from my computer & i regret it SO MUCH. i'm sure it wasn't as bad as i thought
It's a weird feeling to really think that I've got a book that's special, that I think a lot of people will connect with, and I'm desperate to get it out there...but still struggling to finish it. so hard. #writerscafe
