@authorcfturner By starting another one while that last one sits on the back burner and/or my alpha readers roll up their sleeves to offer input. Doesn't everyone do that?

@writesfromla Ten bucks says nearly everyone responded. Also, cute cat!

I'll happily RT a few but I have recently consumed wine so I might fall asleep 👍

@NathanJonesBook When writing? No. It ends up as long or short as it needs to be at the moment. When editing? Some. Not a huge amount. I try to keep my novels in the 60-70k range. Not too long, not too short. I tend to be wordy, so my beta readers tell me where to cut. That's a HUGE help.

So... I'm on the edge of my seat, #WritingCommunity. My debut #novel , Song of Appalachia, is in the hands of a publisher who is deciding if they want to #publisherstory They asked for 30 days and I'm going crazy waiting. It's only been 2 weeks! #help

@CSmallsWright I wonder-when you write, do you unintentionally weave your culture into your stories, plus your sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity, personal history, etc? Can't MCs, regardless of whether they're BIPOC or not, just experience joy and go an adventures? Why did u ask?

[IAmTJ @TerryntjSmith]

Question: What topics do you wish you knew about when you were young (or now)? I don't want to miss anything important.

[IAmTJ @TerryntjSmith]

I've been away for some time but now I'm back and I need help from the #WritingCommunity

I'm thinking about #writing a book based on my life tentatively called Unsolicited Advice from a Cranky Old Lady.

[IAmTJ @TerryntjSmith]

Also, my book will include swearing, controversial opinions, some scientific data crap to give it the veneer of legitimacy, and anecdotes involving weird stuff like acid trips and religion.

@shitscaredmum I'm so very sorry for your loss. I hope you are surrounded by those who love you and can find solace in their arms.
