What’s worse than spending weeks stuck cleaning out the home of your mom’s late aunt? Inadvertently screwing up the plans of the Egyptian God of Slaughter, for starters. Finding out you’re a wizard is just the icing on this unbelievable cake. #writingcommmunity #DarkFantasy

@VictoriaRosePhD Very tough. If you are willing to forgive (not forget), and offer another chance, the ball still ends up in the court of the trustbreaker. So, it really hinges on how much work the partner is willing to do.

@robertjwolfmd I love them. They are some of the baddest creatures on the planet. Hunters from hell and we are lucky most of them are small.

@EntradaBooks That's easy, writing fantasy novels.

@VictoriaRosePhD I think it's an attempt to feel confident and in control, especially when they've accepted the opinions of others without really understanding them

@templin_m Fear. It drives religion, insecurity, and the attempt of folks to control their own narrative

@OminousHallways Warranty. Should be expiration date

@OminousHallways Now you've interrupted my train of thought, unless this tweet wasn't real. (I was leaning toward fruit, because I figured someone saw the fruit and said "oh look an orange" and the other person thought they meant the color)

@MagicalOverload 60's , because the education system taught civics and how to think. This gave the young folks a real understanding of their power. Plus, truly great music

@OminousHallways It isn't natural to give up what you feel you have fought to reach. I know I've had it easier than some, but it's tough to let go.
Monied folks playing monopoly and king of the hill don't care whether you've had it easy or hard, just that you threaten their position

@marykaltman Sad that we limit stories simply because they don't fit our current template

[G L Hooks, little known writer @LeeHooks3]

@OminousHallways Your work is excellent and having a crowd recognize that might be just the thing you need, or not.

[G L Hooks, little known writer @LeeHooks3]

@OminousHallways So true. Finding an editor who didn't use their opinions to eviscerate me was a challenge, but uplifting critics are out there. I'm not sure you'll find them at a slam event, but putting yourself out there could be worth it.

[G L Hooks, little known writer @LeeHooks3]

@OminousHallways Too true, but we've been rewarding the 'I'm so great' endzone dance for decades now. Society now penalizes modesty and elevates bragging to an artform, so the narcissist looks wonderful, at first

WASTED
Time constantly gone
Treated as if there's plenty
Pretend there's no end

This changes in an instant
To precious and not enough

WATCHING
Emersed in the sea
Drawn by the undercurrent
Of sorrow or joy
Aware that the observer
Is never touched by the funk

TIME
Captured by my words
Held here,waiting for release
Read and set time free
Time is captured memory
Shiny fragments of nows past

@OminousHallways Hope they come through
