That's it... that's enough.

That's enough editing.

Enough polishing.

Enough tweaking the layout.

It's done. It's finished.

It's ready.

My first novel, Elder of Storms... is done. It's published.

This journey is complete.

I'm getting an ice cream. 🍦

@josephcwells I read this too quickly and thought you were exhorting us to dissect great writers. 👀🔪

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@melodyghicks @GoblinWriter Need to read this to learn the distinction between idiotic sea sponges and intelligent sea sponges. 😂🤔

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

But what is this feature’s opinion about my frequent use of “they expostulated”? 🧐

Dialogue is one of the many areas where ProWritingAid can help your writing shine. The Dialogue Tags Check can instantly identify what dialogue tags you’ve used and where you've used them.

Here's how it works.

@bentoalson @FILMTOPIA_ Sweet… the only movie I’ve seen in a theatre since before the pandemic was Dune — which was so worth the big screen.

Next movie might be its sequel. 😂

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@josephcwells @bk_moore Oh no, my unadvisable business ventures reflex has been activated. 😆💸❤️

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@rlj_law @morganhousel Hm! I have the audiobook of that; I ought to give it a listen.

Sometimes, when you're walking home from a grocery run in the last of the daylight, you've just got to put on Lana del Rey's Born To Die (The Paradise Edition) album and imagine your life is a grim, glamorous soap opera. 🖤🎶

@karomancer Gonna have to go with Cheeky. 😏

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@amweald Oh ho! Thanks for pointing this out. 🤓

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

Anyone come across a good Mastodon server for indie authors yet? 🤔

Might be too geeky for authors, unless you're also a computer nerd like me. 😂

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

This is book marketing distilled to its purest form. 😂❤️

[Brian McClellan @BrianTMcClellan]

Quick reminder that the best last-minute holiday gift for friends, family members, and coworkers is my entire back catalog of books. So get on that.

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@karomancer Yup, you’re obliged to start every thread with the 🧵 emoji from now on, and DM your best insights to anyone who replies with “flamingo”

Sorry, I don’t make the rules. 🧐

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@josephcwells @johnnyxbrown Nice! I’ve read a few of (Atul) Gawande’s earlier books and articles — they’ve all been great. I’ll have to grab Being Mortal.

*goes to check Libby app to see if it’s at the library…* 😋

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

I'll be sure to contact you directly with any questions. ❤️😏

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@jmayer Well, then. I was just looking for Python-based replacements for the Jekyll static-site generator (since I've become much more familiar with Python than Ruby), and Pelican came out at the top of the list.

I start investigating, and look who's behind it! 😂

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@DelilahSDawson I'm here for it. They were great threads, but I'd appreciate 'em in any other internetual format, too.

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@AntonyJohnston @kierongillen That’s your premium Substack sorted, then. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@AntonyJohnston Ladies and gents, presenting the overlap between authors and jwz fans. 😂

[Dan Jacobson @danj_ca]

@AngelaParkerFIT Well put. 🤫
