An auditor - that's right, fear me and shiver as I walk past - actually, no, I'm the good kind that helps keep funding...Also a writer, a mother, & a bit crazy.

Rose's dream of attending the University of Miami is within reach, but we need a little help to make it happen. Every bit counts! Please consider donating and sharing. Thank you! https://t.co/xWLrQ6twhn

@Ch_JesusChrist I feel so old. The first edition replaced the discussions in the middle of my mission. Loved it then, love it now, super excited for the updates.

@CoolHwwhip @Ch_JesusChrist Well done, however, even I knew that 10 years ago. It's revelation, not translation. Neither of the images we include are literal depictions, but represent those times. Joseph was struck with revelations when he saw them, he did not translate directly.

@NelsonRussellM I remind myself of my own convictions at least once a day through a conversation with someone. Husband, children, coworkers, cousins, or friends... At least one meaningful, deep conversation about the power of the gospel in our lives a day.

Added a few more short stories to my blog. All not externally edited of course, but that's all I can do at this stage of my life.
Enjoy if you want:

#writerslife Someone asked the question (can't find the thread) - what was the oddest thing you googled.
Today's response - the various ways to refer to a male prostitute.
I just felt like 'male hooker' didn't sound right as I wrote it.
You?

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

Don't know why I'm struggling 😥
After receiving an offer to print from a vanity publisher in disguise, that ache is back. The one that wants to see my book in print & wants to see people enjoying what I created. I wish I could just be happy with writing for myself.

@RealJulietDelta Yep. I don't drink either.

@kfoxx_writes The sister is trying to set up the brother with a woman who has a known Mafia hit in her head.

@RebeccaFKenney1 People who think... Only partially sarcastic there.
I see one character who's got the brains and everyone else is dumb. I hate that. I love balanced/unbalanced teams.

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

@bjonesbrown I'm confused? If my daughter is raped, we're in the ER with everything I need right there. Why would I stock up on that kind of thing? Make a plan, I guess, but that's just one more thing you have to lock up from medicine abuse possibilities.

@keithmcarthur Yeppers, but I don't think they're little green men.

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

Anyone who thinks romance novels have unrealistic plots should know that I wasn't in love w/ my husband when we married. We dated for 1 month then brokeup. 2 yrs later, he proposed while starting at the ground w/ no formal dates between us since the breakup. Been married 15 yrs.

Anyone who thinks romance novels have unrealistic plots should know that I met my wife at a party after she got up to go to the bathroom and the guy who was hitting on her got up and started hitting on her friend. We've been married for almost 30 years.

@keithmcarthur Pretty much anything that might endanger my life, especially with small children relying on me.
Sky diving, bridge jumping....

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

Love this debate. I have tried outlining so many times. By page two, one or all of my characters have done something I did not want them to and by page three I throw away the outline because it's absolutely useless now, thanks alot characters.

[Elizabeth Holden @ElizabethH_WI]

Alright, plotters. Tell me how it actually goes down. You get an idea for a book, you open your computer and... write an outline? Or...? I am legitimately curious, as I'm a hardcore pantser & feel lowkey tense until each book is complete, because what if I get lost on my way?

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

@brookelinville Sounds like a hard road and I applaud you for putting yourself out there. As you mentioned, someone else's story helped you identify your own situation. Based on that alone, I say continue your efforts. You may be the spark for the next woman.

@jk_rowling I see a seal.

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

@nearonis writing for family & friends & try to improve. I gave up on being a FT writer. For me, it won't work.
Don't give up on the happy part. Just leave behind the stress of industry. If you need to publish, go Indy if that makes sense to you. Good luck with your journey. (3/3)

[Theresa Flannery @flanwriter]

@nearonis I realized I needed to write for myself. I tried to be happy about that, but when someone reads something of mine & raves to me, I feel like maybe this time will be different. It never is. At this point I toss a few into slush piles a year and just keep enjoying myself in (2/3)
