Enjoyed Kathryn Johnson's talk on novel writing at #bto2018 today. Good advice on choosing "instigating moment" when things change for main character. Also, limiting time span of action is key.

Tweets from #Trump pose challenges for #journalists, it's like covering fortune cookies, no? His latest two: HT @webjournalist

WaPo homepage headline calls Florida for #Trump by 11 pm, though CNN still hasn't projected a winner there yet.

Stunning that NYT election meter now forecasting #Trump victory with so many votes still out. https://t.co/aeGdhmygr3
