The Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial live is fascinating. I can't turn it off. #muffingate #JohnnyDepptrial

Do you have a favorite period of history? Does it influence your writing? Does it influence your reading? #writerscommunity #amwritingfantasy

@DanFitzWrites Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I'll get to it, someday, but I haven't been in the mood for a long ride lately.

[Writing & Editing @WrtrStat]

An author is someone who finds a way to enjoy and write the stories that are inside them. #amwriting ..Keep Writing. It's that simple and that hard.

@melle @ZoeYorkWrites @courtneymilan Did you copyright WTFuckery, or can I use it? Cause I love it. :)

@Buffra @LaurMarWrites @JenReadsRomance She has to be vague. She's got nothing.

@ScarredParrot What to do when your court case fails? Form a lynch mob. Because you think you invented plotting on index cards (Something I've done for 25 years). She's inciting people to do her bidding with no facts. Gotta wonder about her fans now, too. Sad.

If you see anyone talking about Alexandra Sokoloff and Sarra Cannon, please watch this video. Being accused of intellectual property theft is a nightmare she doesn't deserve. But also, fans of her HB90 system don't need it either.

How is your #nanowrimo21 going? First three days, I'm killing it. Later this month with Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving coming? Probably not.

Rewrites are hard. 3/4 through mine and some days, it feels like the real book is coming out, and other days it's like ripping words out of my soul #amwriting #amrewriting #amwritingfantasy

@ElizabethMerck I do, because if I don't, I tend to speed. And by speed, I don't mean 10 over. More like 30.

#readerscommunity #writerscommunity What do you look for in a fantasy book? Give me one thing that excites you when you're choosing your next book!

@AustinValenzu14 I did. Still do. Lifelong book addict here.

Sometimes I feel like I must be the only #writer who doesn't like hot tea. It makes my mouth feel weird. Ice tea, yes. Hot tea, pass. Am I alone? #amwritingfantasy #writerslife

First edit on Act 1 of my #WIP did not remove as many words as I was hoping, but there is always edit two! #amwritingfantasy #amwriting

#FirstDraft Complete! 214,219 words to shave down, polish up and make shine. Time to sit on it for a week and then get back to work! #amwriting #amwritingfantasy

It's official. I do not enjoy killing off a character that I liked. Necessary, but I did not enjoy it and I might have even cried for a minute. #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #killingcharacterssucks

3416 words today, rushing toward the climax of my novel without fear for a change. #amwritingfantasy #amwriting

It's official. I am comma-happy. If there is anywhere I can possibly stick a comma, I am doing it. #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #commahappy

I may be more of a pantser than I thought. 220K words last summer on this story in eight weeks, but now that I have a detailed outline, I am still sitting at 1500 words in my rewrite. I have perfection paralysis, and the cure can only be .... what? #amwriting #amwritingfantasy
