a little bit of fiction

@AndrewCFollett @DHSgov How about if you were standing exactly where this photo was taken? Not in the path of the car, but able to shoot that bullet hole.

@terrencehoward All that effort and you only got 1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1*1 ... replies.

I'm a little surprised to see we don't feature in the Wikipedia list of the 100 worst invasive species: https://t.co/LG0QRGfQOT (probably the biased definition is to blame).

Are you getting a lot of #Reading done during #lockdown ?
No. Not really.

[Tris @tori_tris]

These first two were by accident, but I now have to hunt down #Batman, #Superman and #WonderWoman outfits. #dccomics #baby

Feeling terribly satisfied!
I found out about this competition just 2 days ago. Managed to plan, write & edit a 3.5k story that I'm proud of, with ample help from my lovely wife :) #amwriting

Published my first book at 42. It was an international bestseller now going into it's 30th or so printing in the US.

Then I tried my hand at screenwriting at 45, and now have a dozen produced screenplays.

It's only too late when you're dead.

If life was poetry
it’d be a haiku

lowercase moments
sans punctuation
a perfectly split phrase
one clever fragment

breaths like syllables
all seventeen
dispersed unevenly
in 3 broken lines

if life was poetry
it’d be a haiku
tattooed ‘neath ribs
on hearts, yours & mine

@LzLwsn Uh, yeah. How many hours I spend trying to edit out anything with 'head' or 'eyes' in.

[Tris @tori_tris]

Researching foods that are good for an apocalypse and I read "Unopened bottles of wine or other distilled spirits can be stored for up to 30 years or more."
That's some semantic wizardry in that final prepositional phrase!

[Tris @tori_tris]

@janalynnjenkins Ha ha! Great little story.

[Tris @tori_tris]

As is so often the case, I started researching a piece of tech for this story, then ended up spending quarter of an hour on #spelling variants.

Diametre or diameter, anyone?

Seems the former is correct, but in its dying throes.

Good, positive day. Now the baby is 3 months old, I'm managing to get an hour or so in the mornings for my #wip ... planned to the end today, and then when I arrived home this @lbluemarble book with my story was waiting for me. #WritingCommunity

[Tris @tori_tris]

I'm delighted to be included in this collection of stories.

Itinerary for first day #backtowork in #2020NewYear:
- AM: spill coffee down left side of shirt
- PM: spill curry down right side of shirt

@jennhockley Quite fun to chuck your short stories in https://t.co/gGmDK5RnIQ to see how it suggests you simplify. I like simple, but also occasional floweriness for variety. Doesn't help with over describing scenes tho

@HannahAlOthman Left a bit... Left a bit... Left a bit... OH YES!

@grlnamedt Good for inspiring different ideas!
