@Katie___Simpson Great story! My take: the Kentucky Distillers’ Ass. sent members messaging & (mis)info that the boycott is only re:tariffs. I think distillers understand the real issues now. Anyway, CDN policy symbolic when provs removed US alcohol. I feel for distillers and hope this ends soon.

The mix is off. Crowd too loud! Can’t hear Brick. Thanks! #fixthemix @Sportsnet @NESN @NHL @NHLBruins

@hdickson62 @guygavrielkay @JeanPendziwol @SusanRogers6 Yeah - rye all the way! For a true Manhattan, at least. But I'm willing to do the taste test anyway. ('Cuz hey, even if I'm wrong, I win... lol)

@scottslainfield Things would get really confusing if Corey Perry (CP) was seen out at a bar with Chris Nilan (CN)...

@DaveBuzan Congrats!

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

@DaveBuzan Editing: 85% is shortening sentences.

@cjtudor Congrats! Looks like it will be a good one! Did you have an opportunity to help on the screenplay, too?

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

@uusaint Earth boring. Space fun! Uh-oh, Houston...

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

@smclaughlin9 Joe Juneau was on my list, too. He still holds the record for most points by a rookie left winger at 102. I also agree with you on Donato - one of my favourites during that time, but I'd take Juneau ahead of him. https://t.co/Txu11Sc5fd

@CERobbAuthor I always just add it to my dictionary. MS is often wrong with its squiggilies, but sometimes it flags something I miss.

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

I’m not sure what’s more jarring - the fact that Word doesn’t know the word “parkade” or that I’ve never typed it out before to notice… #amwriting #WritingCommmunity

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

@CERobbAuthor Yes, set on Canadian English! Found out myself that it's mostly a Canadian word -- though funnily enough, Washington has the Spokane Parkade. You know, that place relatively close to where Microsoft lives...

@JosephMKavanag1 Drink faster…

“Had my credentials been in order I would never have become a writer.”

@RoyPeterClark Your "The Art of X-Ray Reading: How the Secrets of 25 Great Works of Literature Will Improve Your Writing" is in my top 5, as I've told my readers several times (and also some non-readers...)

@Kymele @mkonnikova Glad to hear, Eden! And thanks for the well-wishes.

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

Many long-time readers know that I've struggled to come up with a definitive cause for #writersblock - but thanks to @mkonnikova, now I have. Check out my latest post that breaks down her insightful article. #writercommunity #writingtips #amwriting https://t.co/nXyMPK4c0K

[P. Graham Strong @pgrahamstrong]

@Kymele @mkonnikova Oh, that sucks, Eden. Yes, stress in other areas of life definitely can affect your motivation to write. Maria talks more about this in her New Yorker article, and (I imagine) the researchers she's summarizing even more so. Hope things have turned around and you have less stress.

@terryoinfluence American brands advertising in Canada with American spelling bugs me. Isn't the #1 rule of marketing to speak your customers' language? So: (a) why don't they (esp. since they have to create separate labels with French anyway), and (b) should we as consumers care? #askterry

Spoiler Alert: @ANNELAMOTT figures heavily in my latest post on how writing a zero draft can help you overcome writing fears including self-criticism, self-doubt, perfectionism, and "serious writing". #writingcommunity #amwriting #writingtips
