First scene of what I have writ. In case you were wondering. First draft, unedited. #writing #pulp
I’m writing. I’m trying to make sense of the stuff I’m producing. It will all come together once I create all the pieces to this puzzle. That doesn’t mean the resulting picture won’t have a missing piece or two, or even a piece from a different puzzle. #writing
Writing and waiting for wings #writing
Humor is subjective. You need someone to laugh at, even if it’s the author. #writing
This is a fun book to write because it’’s weird, in a good way. Some of my offbeat humor throughout. #writing
I’m pounding keys as I try to unlock the story. #writing

Learn to tell a good story first, then worry about style and technique-unless you are trying to write “literature”. #writing
I’m not sure if these are real or dummy copies, but the Chicago Manual of Style is among them. Nice selection in the hotel bar, where I am writing #books #hotel #writing
Readers don’t care about technique. People tend not to care about the structure or the occasional grammatical error. They are more interested in being entertained, moved, and inspired in that order. The story comes first. Everything else is polish. #writing

Time for a break. I’m at around 7K words. I need to plan the next set of scenes. This is going to be a short novel at 50K, but longer than a simple pulp story. #writing #pulp
I’m enjoying writing this book. It’s definitely a rough first draft, but, to me, it feels very pulp-like and has a decent amount of humor—stuff, I was aiming for. #writing
