No writing advice is absolute (not even this writing advice), but "Write every day" is one of the more helpful ones, when you can manage it. Combining that with staying offline and time off got me the last 20k in 4 days this week 🥳 2nd book down, 2 to go... #WritingCommunity

I want a slothapotamus for Christmas.
I just realized that when trees drop their leaves in Fall, they're trying to murder all other plant life around them to make room for their babies 😲

I'm tired and the rest of my family is sick, but I just wrapped a first draft that I started less than four weeks ago. Booya! 🤘 Could have just about been my first nanowrimo if I hadn't started in October, but oh well. Now to knock out the next three 😮 #WritingCommunity

There is no feeling like the feeling of getting a little ways into a new writing project, finding out it's not exactly what you expected, and realizing that what it is instead is better. Dang I missed this. It's been a long couple years, ya'll.

Taking Workplace Violence training while working remote feels weird. Taking it while eating a slice of my 4-y/o's hypersprinkle'd birthday cake and listening to my 6-y/o screaming feels ... creepy, tbh. Creepy with sprinkles 😧

I have, but it was just an apple core. Does that make me bad?
Me: I designed and #3dprinted a powerful regenerative compressor! Everybody else: Why does it sound like a jet engine 😫 Me: Why would that be a bad thing 🤔youtu.be/YhsYaHobx-4 #3dprinting
How annoyed does my dog look right now 🤣🤣 #Corgi #Fluff #Furminator #HappySpring

#AuthorsOfTwitter I'm working up a series concept and thinking about how to structure character arcs over multiple books - especially for heroes who can stay flawed up to the series's endgame. So here's my first-cut outline. Anything you'd do differently? #WritingAdvice
