"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." IDIC. Writing a crazy trilogy (fiction rules!). 🎶🖖🐋🌈🎬📚🦄

We went away for a few days - nothing fancy, just swimming and mini golf and bookstores and hanging out. And wouldn’t you know? I solved a timeline issue in my 2nd book, and charted out an important scene. Relaxation worked!

@RubenGonzales77 I’m sorry. What was her name?

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@Scott_A_Butler I did similar research last year - maybe we’re on a list together, somewhere?

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

In the 2nd book of my WIP, several government officials disappear, and their colleagues won’t say if they’re alive, dead, transformed, or abducted. If you ever read it, please know that I wrote it BEFORE the current news cycle.

@JamesFenske17 I had to surrender in that same type of battle. In fact, I turned it into a trilogy.

The cat threw up on my current writing notebook, and while it may not have been an editorial comment, I’m still happy I didn’t ask her to be a first reader.

@MiraSelah Hmm - interesting. This character fears that if the aliens invade again, credit cards won’t work and cash would be king, but gold would probably work too? (Mean writer lady spoiler alert: the aliens invade again.)

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

I could use some advice from writer folks who know about financial things. How would a millionaire get as much of his wealth as he could in cash, as quickly as he could? Don’t get excited! It’s about a character, NOT me.

@ChrissieRawrman I’m curious about how to pronounce Kalyde and Briesyn. Also, thank you - I enjoy hearing about unusual names.

@king_reinhardt Are you only wanting blue sea glass, or is another color okay? Did you have a size in mind?

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

The only way I’d ever be interested in a “self-driving” car is if she’s a gorgeous, yet evil, 1958 Plymouth Fury.

You all have been giving me interesting ideas. Thank you!

@troyberlin He got it in an inheritance, and he’s not ostentatious (in that way, anyway).

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@KyleOwe02309720 It’s doubtful, with those pesky aliens around, but if he did have a garage sale, he’d probably sell his Harley!

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@_mjmeyer I’m thinking of you, too. Thursday it will be one year since I lost my mom. We talked every day, and I still pick up my phone to tell or ask her something.

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@SDDonovan I’ve given up trying to figure out the algorithm, or why I don’t see half my notifications, or why I’m largely invisible here. I’m not marketing right now, and I just like to see what writers and readers have to say, and I like to chat (at times).

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@Avabelly__ Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but stopping yourself from taking photos of unsuspecting guys and posting them online for critique doesn’t seem like much to ask.

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@ValerieSirenko And I say that as someone who has collected business cards since the age of twelve!

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

@ValerieSirenko They are both lovely.

[lionwithglitter @DoubledayBeth]

I had trouble killing off a major character, and I kept putting it off. Now, I’m revising the book, and had a laugh over something I’d forgotten - a piece of scrap paper slipped into my notebook by my husband. “Kill [redacted] today!!!”

@AnnaLishman Is there a genre you feel you wouldn’t want to write?
