@BioLayne Don't know how else to share videos with you, but here is a topic I thought you might be interested in dissecting from Eric Berg. https://t.co/ENIWN6z833

Does anyone else get annoyed at people who use the elevator to only go up to the second floor?

@lindberg_rich 1984 by George Orwell is a like a style-guide for you then. Have you read?

[Michael E. Thies @MichaelEThies]

Woke up today to something truly incredible. My book is second in the entire free U.S. Kindle store! Checked the UK and saw it is number 1, beating out the competitor currently beating it. The "Battle of the Books" has begun...

Edits coming along nicely. Do any other authors read out their manuscript line by line in order to try and catch issues in the editing process?

Been away from Twitter for a while, but it was worth it. Needed to focus and finish this. First draft book 5 done!

Been delayed on a plane for 3 hours now. Luckily, I have my #kindle with me for the win.

Cheers to passing time by with reading.

EvieP's Writing Tip of the Day: Courtesy of @shldbwriting-Avoid dialogue tags if you can! They slow the reader down (and give me a headache😄). Pro tip: Place a character action before dialogue. Kills two birds: 1)Shows character 2)Eliminates tag. Boom! You're welcome #amwriting

[Michael E. Thies @MichaelEThies]

Most of my chapters are around 2-3k, so whenever I end up typing a chapter that's 8k+, I always think to myself if that is good or not. I usually have one of these per book. And I take a look at the chapters and can't cut things. Anyone else have this happen?

EvieP's (bonus) Writing Tip of the Day: SAID, Said, said. There, I said it. Instead of "growling" or "sighing" or "grumbling" the words, your character should simply "say" them. You're welcome.😃 #writingtip #amwriting #dialogue #amrevising #WritingCommunity

@DylanWestAuthor @theoneginevra What would you suggest then instead of dragons? The hard part about that is the idea of the trope and genres having certain expectations. I agree that there should be an attempt at originality, but you can't have a sci-fi book without advanced technology.
