Newbie Writer. Into hiking, film, space, nature, juggling. Still miss my wife. Was a code-monkey. Seems hard to make a living. 👋

Dear #writers

Are we still using Twitter?

I used to have some very useful conversations with other writers here. Does that still happen?

I haven't been here since April '23

Thanks

The magic of time.

Reduces mountains to dust.
Produces wonderous flowers.
Creates the stars in the heavens.
And will out last us all.

@LisaOz6 Fox. Today.

@LisaOz6 I'm currently using the free Manuskript. Which is similar to Scrivener.

There's also another free one, called yWriterProj that I've used in the past.

Both good for collating research, characters, scenes. And open source.

Recommended if you can catch it somewhere!

I took time out to visit one of the special places @earth_trust, deep within the woodland, Lucy's ponds enable quiet reflection & rejuvenation. Remembering Lucy. 💚 #making A Difference #Wellbeing

Do I want to live in a World were cakes are banned?

No. Of course. That's idiotic.

But I wonder if that's what smokers used to say.

(Not that I think cakes are as bad as smoking)

Save our access to Nature.

This is a National Park for goodness sake.

It doesn't exist for the pleasure of the rich.

If you read only one editorial on how heroic rats are saving lives, make it this one.

Clearing mines, detecting disease, locating survivers, finding weapons...

@ewostl2 @mariaantoniawa @BookSpotlight Do you mean a foreword?

I would encourage any first time reading of a book to skip a foreword... quite often you'll find spoilers in them. Basically a marketing ploy...
