#goodmorning The actor who plays the ingenue in this story looks like my bossy-like-a-zamboni sister when she was young. For the first time, I wonder if there was a time before my sister got used to remodeling every environment to her specs.* #writersky #booksky #amwriting
#WIPsnips "massive" from Chapter 59, What If It Isn't Hard Anymore: Beauty knew her rehabbed RV wouldn't let her down when she had a load of squawking starling-dragon hybrids inside and a massive regen ground sloth riding the roof, long fur flapping in the wind. #writersky #writingcommunity

#WIPsnips "pursue" from Chapter 46, Homage to Boudica:
I admit I am surprised Seth-K has found a way to pursue their aims so successfully. Even if the fledgling does not fully understand the breadth and complexity of their charisma. #writersky #writingcommunity

Thank you all for meeting the real me without fear. Without trying to destroy me. Thank you. I have to go now but I will be back. #writersky #writingcommunity
Spouse and I were having a laugh today about how lucky we are that she likes my writing. Because O GAWDZ it would be SO AWKWARD if she did not. Does your partner read your work? Do they like your work? Is it awkward when they read your work? #writingcommunity #writersky #amwriting

#WritingCommunity WORKING WRITERS PLEASE RECOMMEND. My workhorse Brother printer is about to cross the rainbow bridge. I need a new printer that can crank out 100s of pages of B&W manuscript + the occasional color zines or broadsheet. WHAT WORKS FOR YOU? #amwriting #writersky

#WIPsnips "counter" from Ch. 15, Kukulkan Tells:
Fred, Brett explained, is the kind of name you expect to read on the ID badge of the rumpled, friendly fellow behind the deli counter, the dude who always remembers your name + never to put mayonnaise on your sandwich. #writersky #writingcommunity
