@neiljhart Neil, I've been debating about how to handle all of the new changes to Twitter, but just saw your post about X being powered by AI. Are you still going to continue using this platform? I've been considering Facebook which is old school...

Barack Obama wrote a wonderful letter thanking librarians across the country for protecting everyone's freedom to read.
Authors, keep writing.
Librarians, keep protecting!

@Megan_Lally_ Hi Megan. You came to my son's class and talked about your book, "That's Not My Name." Can't wait until it comes out! Fyi, I added you to the Oregon Author's Project, a growing database of Oregon Authors. https://t.co/BgP9Pu8UIf

Any guess what these are? Take a stab.
Our archaeology students are given photos to figure out what the artifacts are and used for. The scale is probably 12-20 centimeters.

Writing takes about 80% of your time.
The other 20% is spent on marketing and outreach.
Do you agree?

Is May too early to be planning for NaNoWriMo?

[John Repplinger @jrepplin]

@Scott_Thought Well done Scott and congrats! This is one of my goals too but am a long way off.

Wholesale Discount rate? 53-55%
This is higher than I expected. This is from IngramSparks. #WritingCommunity

Indie Publishers: How much do you set your wholesale discount? I was thinking 20%. Is that too high or low?

@victoriaalavine Way to go Victoria! Keep plugging away and before you know it, you're done.

Authors: What info would you want to include if you were on a list of authors from your state?

Your name & book title(s), obv.
IBSN? Website link? Your photo? Short bio?

I'm developing a list for the Oregon Library Association and really want to know #WritingCommunity

@AuthorGoodwin I only feel depressed when finishing a novel when it ends the series after putting so much time and energy into creating a world. I hate to see it end.
Otherwise, I feel excited to share my novel with the world.

@EditsByKnight Keep it. I love originality

[Miko Knight @EditsByKnight]

A question for the #WritingCommunity: How much originality is *too* much?
My MC works in an apothecary w/lots of herbs. I've changed the spelling of several (baesel, lavindar), and altered the names of some quite drastically (slippery elm>smaeth elm.) Should I cool it or keep it?

[John Repplinger @jrepplin]

Finished a few more illustrations--each chapter starts off with an image. It really adds to novel! This has an intentional border break to make it appear like my main character is walking into the book. I really like how it turned out!
