@CA_Hawthorne Thank you. ️ You're very welcome. @saposcat @willelm @gahlearner

@mkj 2/2And yes, part of the discovery are really surprising twists that flow out of my fingers quite unexpectedly.West flinging himself into the harbor was one of those. I stared at that page for a while.I tried plotting out stories, and they died on the vine. No energy, no curiosity, no fun.So now I hand over the reins to Writer Brain and let it do its thing. It took a while to develop that trust, but by now it really works.#ScribesAndMakers #TTMD #WritingCommunity

@degroof allied to that is declaring someone dead after vaguely holding their wrist and then NOT initiating CPR

@raymaccarthy I read the original "Bambi" novel when I was young, though undoubtedly many of the nuances eluded me at the time.

@ratsnakegames Torturing really horrible people is its own reward!

@HeliaXyana The Longest and the Shortest Day of the year: I always toast to that.Coincidence, our apartment gets the first Sunshine in the livingroom around 21th of March, the latest around 21th of September.

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 20: The alpha male is a misconception perpetuated in popular media. What's a misconception that bothers you?That one. That one, specifically.

@kagan Oh lordy yes. I usually explain that no part of the brain is "unused", but that if you actually used it all at the same time, you would have a massive grand mal seizure and probably die#ScribesAndMakers

@superflippy It brings with it a level of confidence, right? Like hell yes, you can do the thing! You can write it after the cover is made. Society needs to hush and stop trying to tell us the order in which things should be done! I bet your covers are amazing, too.
