#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 15. What’s the easiest emotion to write?
The impotent rage that comes with depression. :)
(I admit far too much about myself to you people. If we ever meet, I'm going to have to hide behind a newspaper.)
#WordWeavers Feb 15: How well do your MCs handle being in crowds?
They're mostly city kids, so they're fine with crowds. My farm girl might not be. I should fold that in. That's a good idea.
all of my writing projects are single-PoV and the limitation is starting to rankle. :(
"The long-handled Arabic coffeepot hanging from the wall hook nearby was too heavy with memory to use: long-ago kitchens, sharp words, and expectations somehow never quite met. Now it carried silences that were so full of things unspoken as to be crushing." #amwriting
Grants, contests, open calls & more for authors! Don't miss #Authortunities #101 (Feb 15 - Mar 15). Stay inspired, stay published.
the problem with writing two romances at the same time is that one story is always in a cuter place than the other and i only want to write the cute scenes and not the scenes where the relationship is getting difficult and ugly stuff is coming at the couple
“Each clue Molly unravels leads to more suspense, making it impossible to put down. A perfect mix of adventure and mystery, it's a must-read for fans of intellectual thrillers.”

FFS, even Vogue UK falls into the spell of using, “It’s a truth universally….”
This isn’t a list of “dreamiest” adaptations but a list of adaptations in the last 30 years. All the favorites are here…including the 2022 Persuasion (which I LIKED).

first #reviews got scarcer, now #blurbs? How's a #writer to promote? What's your strategy?
A major book #publisher announced a change. The industry freaked out.

This fractured society
caters incessantly
to squeaky wheels
who roll over the majority
as they whine incessantly
with the grievance intensity
of a raging tsunami
The tyranny of the noisy

Just fine -- they like their science, but they're also an extroverted people person. Science outreach events are fun!
There are not many opportunities for science outreach in the Paleozoic.
Are you an #Indieauthor who writes #mystery? Drop your name and title(s) in the comments. I'd like to read more of your #mysteries this year!
Good day!
One of my least favorite days of the year has passed, but days are what you make them so I had an excellent day editing.
Book3, one romance trying to awaken, another closing its eyes.
Another chapter awaits, but first a walk & some tax stuff.
Be everwell.
HEY YOU...
The self righteous crew
of Mr Red, Mr White, and Miss Blue
Fake patriots
preaching to the glazed eyed mob
what REAL Americans should think and do
Persecuting those who hold opinions
that do not fit
your hateful world view
Pushing hard
the party line
which glorifies
all the ancient lies
about the "good old days"
Scapegoaters of the marginalized
poorly organized outsiders
under the guise of national unity
Self proclaimed guardians
of the Aryan #bloodline
You useful idiots are in power today
but we are on to you
and ultimately
are gonna whip
your fascists asses again
just like we did in World War II

crowds
“Uncomfortable” would be the word (in general) that best describes Riparia’s reaction to crowds when in cities. Always she wants Doppla, her horse, close.
In situations where she isn’t anonymous, where she feels scrutinized & judged, "bumbling anxiety" takes over—
Unless she’s feeling protective of another, or is indignant. Then, self-consciousness is swept away, replaced with "blind fury."
She’s rather complex.
