So, a couple years ago my favorite writer blog @Janet_Reid and her reiders discussed building a writer's platform. To start, I joined twitter. Now, I twitter with the stolen minutes I used to write. Pretending to build a platform is way easier than writing. No more. Bye Twitter.
@OneOfUsHasToGo@McDowell_Ellie Also, there's tons of stuff online. Just Google it and you'll see YouTube videos that demonstrate. There's also a famous short story called First Confession that might be useful.
@AuthorKAnthony You forgot, "This is my first fiction novel." And, "I picked you because your profile pic is hot." Also, you should always end a query with, "Please respond within 30 days or I'll have to withdraw my offer."
@ktzhaoauthor Think of work as a long plank. You balance it on a fulcrum that is the other parts of your life. The work plank can never touch the ground on either side. You can do anything you want with the other parts of your life, as long as the work plank >>never<< touches the ground.
Son got his driver's license yesterday.
Today:
Son: Mom, can I take the car?
Me: *petrified* Where?
Son: The first thing I wanted to do after I got my license was take a care package to the homeless guy that the school bus passes every day.
Me:*too choked up to answer*
I’m waiting on kitty ultrasound results and trying to distract myself a little bit so I’d like to tell you a story about something that happened last night, in the hopes that I can process my feelings around it.
I met a girl on the train last night.
