@scott_heidrich I don't mind it and have done it, but think it would be annoying if was overdone.

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

@ParanormalJunk2 I like to think I would. I get lots out of it just for me. If someone else can get something from what I do, great. If not, 🤷‍♂️.

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

@cc_madon You know it!

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Really happy with all the progress tonight. It's been a long while since I've felt comfortable saying that. Still a long way to go, but progress. #amwriting

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Settling in with a nice afternoon coffee and a bit of writing.

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Hard ro believe, but I'm in line to get into Walmart. Foing what I gotta do. #coronavirus

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Made some hot cinnamon #tea this morning for a few reasons. 1. They say #coronavirus doesn't like hot beverages. 2. My throat hurts a bit. ( sinuses?) 3. The cinnamon is helping fight the bleach smell here in the office. (Another reason the throat hurts, maybe.)

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Sadly, this whole #coronavirus thing has progressed way further than I expected. Stay strong. Stay well.

Been using every spare minute this morning to read through as many #FridayFictioneers as possible and realized I never shared mine. Doh! #amwriting #100wordstory Anyway, here it is. https://t.co/9sNV2jM3Dc

@WriterSweeney My Asus has lasted for maybe 5 or 6 years, writing with Scrivener. No problems, but it does have some age on it now and must charge more than it uses to, but still... for what I paid, it's been great and still going strong.

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

This morning's #coffee brought to you by "working on the weekend."

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Got something down for #FridayFictioneers, but its gotta be trimmed from 125 words to 100 before posting. Lunch is over though, so its back to work. Hopefully get to post tonight. #amtryingtowrite

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

So this morning I woke to an at work zombie killing dream. I know things are bad, but at least we aren't there yet. #coronavirus #ZombieApocalypse

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

Was reeeeally hoping to write just a little tonight, but it looks like work is going to go to 16 hours. #notwritingsucks

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

I have high hopes for paper towels after this mess. Ya know, like paper towels in public bathrooms that u can use to turn off the faucet and door after u wash up because u know that not everyone does the washing up part. #coronavirus #papertowels #Hygiene

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

2nd rainy morning in a row. If the COVID don't get me, the weather will.

[Scott Sigler @scottsigler]

If u want reading material to get through the slump, please think of ordering from your local bookstore. Amazon will be fine in the long run, your local, not so much. You shut-in? Cool, most bookstores are used to shipping. Locals already have a razor-thin profit margin. #COVID19

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

I'm just over here wondering if this thing last into hurricane season.

[Scott Sigler @scottsigler]

DISASTER MOVIE BASICS:
1. Scientists learn of threat.
2. Authority figures ignore threat (tourist season?)
3. Threat hits: people work together, barely hold on, until...
4. Unexpected 2nd disaster (storms & tornadoes?)
5. Chaos
6. Slight recovery, then...
7. Supermegavolcano

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

I'm not writing right now. As the world shuts down around me, my whole life has turned to work for at least a week and a half more. Unless I get sick. God forbid. #coronavirus

[Russell Mercer @rc_mercer]

So tonight I watched 3 episodes of Jack Ryan, setup a page on the blog with all the links to all the various platforms that the podcast can be heard on, and then recorded the 4th episode. Check it out. https://t.co/ScgaZl6XZB
