“Hang in there”

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

You meet your 13 year old self but you can only pass on 3 words. What would you say? Why?

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@amrsalehduat 💯 Started the first book knowing it would a trilogy

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

What’s your comfort book? You know, the one you’ve read at least twice and reach for again when you are stressed.

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@amrsalehduat Combo here. Starts in a real place but then we travel in and out of fantasy locations

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

What the internal turmoil, or joy, of that passing life we see. We go about our own routine, see our people, love our blessed gifts and hopefully see those around us a little brighter, a little better before the grind pulls us under again. #musings

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

We just keep on living don’t we? The everyday grind, the rage and ruin that of
the every day life. We go to cafes and eat, maybe see someone we know in passing. We say hi, we wave and smile, and we don’t know. We don’t know what someone might be. +

@angiecthomas Oh noooo! That is the worst ever!

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

Do you have words or phrases that you have discovered get used waaaayyyy too often in your writing? Apparently I have an obsession with starting sentences with “Of course” and adding emphasis to words by putting “really” in front of them. 🤦‍♀️

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

You guys (and gals and everyone in between)!!! My beta reader came back with her notes on my first book. It has helped so much! New viewpoints, as a reader not a writer, have added clarity I didn’t even know I needed. Thank you my friend!

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@NJBoltz94 @amrsalehduat Right?!? Something happens as I write and suddenly one my characters is doing something I didn’t even know they needed to do. I love it when that happens!

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@amrsalehduat What a great question! Loving reading all the feedback

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@RWeberWrites

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

Did I write an entire scene based around this shirt? Yes, yes I did.

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

After a terrible long slump, my writing is going so well lately. I’m deep diving into Book 2. The two main characters have formally met each other. It can only go up (and down) from here!

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@PaperFury The best thing ever!

[Dorothy Poley @DorothyWrites]

@uusaint Thankfully, her brain still carried soul.
