@jk_rowling Thank you for not biting your tongue and standing up to the woke mob!! You are a god send!

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Nobody’s ‘taking’ except you. You demand that women and girls give up their rights and spaces to you. You insist there are no contexts in which a man shouldn’t be considered a woman if he says he’s one. Your aggression, entitlement and overreach brought pushback. This is on you.

@PrezLives2022 Lmao this is hilarious. Good luck with that!

@TheOnlyEsta The goal is to end the wars that are killing innocents, making it affordable to buy groceries and gas, and keeping Americans safe.

[C.C. Smith @jcbbrsmith]

@viewsoff_ It almost was.

Afternoon everyone, I'm so proud to announce that after two long years, countless mistakes, multiple changes and mounds of edits... I'm still writing my first draft.

Don't all congratulate me at once. 😂

[C.C. Smith @jcbbrsmith]

@FrankWCE1992 @DD_Geopolitics Thank you for saying this! Our media silences us, that is why

[C.C. Smith @jcbbrsmith]

@DD_Geopolitics Just think EVERYONE, including enemies of America, now know just how weak the president is. We have a bigger problem than the Democratic nominee. We have a safety problem now.

FLASHBACK: This is the video that Donald Trump posted on January 6th telling people to go home peacefully that he just mentioned at the debate.

Twitter 1.0 took it down within 5 minutes.

They prevented people from hearing this…

Oh my god are you guys following the plagiarism case regarding Tracy Wolff’s Crave series? This is absolutely bonkers:

[C.C. Smith @jcbbrsmith]

@HilaryHarwell Trying to not get discouraged by this realization, myself. Now I wonder if agents pitch queries they like to writers in their current catalogue…hoping not, but I am an overthinker lol

[C.C. Smith @jcbbrsmith]

@HilaryHarwell A bit scary that our ideas get posted by the very agents we query.

I think, while agents are amazing and offer fabulous advice, they should walk in an authors shoes. Hoping the author doesn’t get discouraged by this post. ❤️

[C.C. Smith @jcbbrsmith]

@Emma_Writer_ Omg!!! Wendy lol she’s having a rough day.

You’re nearing the end of your draft, & you already know you want to follow this WIP up w/ a sequel. So, should you set readers up for the next book at the end of this one?

Here are some factors to consider (an #amwriting 🧵):

[Alyssa Matesic @AlyssaMatesic]

Yesterday, I shared a thread raising the question: should you write a prologue for your book?

Now, I want to dive a little deeper into what makes a prologue effective or not. If you do decide to include a prologue, here are some dos & don’ts to keep in mind (an #amwriting 🧵):

I was booked on United Flight 93 on 9/11, 2001, flying nonstop from Newark NJ to San Francisco CA. Around midnight the night before, a coworker called me urging me to change my flight to fly into San Jose instead. This meant I had to give up my 1st class seat and move to a flight that left 20 minutes later (from the same gate) with a stopover in Denver. I was very reluctant but I did it.

When I got to the airport, I watched people boarding flight 93 and I was upset that I was not leaving earlier, in my 1st class seat on a direct flight. I didn’t notice or care about the people as they were boarding, only myself.

When I finally boarded my plane, we were 7 planes behind flight 93. When we were 3 plans away from we taking off, the pilot told us to look out the right side of the plane because it appeared the Twin Towers had been hit by a plane. I thought it might have been a small Cessna until I saw the second plane strike the other tower.

We were grounded just before taking off. I changed that day. I now take every opportunity to get watch and if possible, get to know the people I’m boarding a plane with. I never hesitate to give up my seat for a later flight if requested. I’ve had two children since 9/11 and went to multiple mission trips to war torn countries. Every day I wake up breathing is another gift from God.

Never forget 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
