If you’re an author, do you sell signed books? Does it help your sales? Do you know or just guessing? Do you charge extra? #publishing #books #writing
I’ve switched gears and bypassed the wings cutoff to merge onto a burger.
I’ve noticed writing.on the SuperNote feels close to writing with a fountain pen on Leuchtturm paper. I use the Lamy stylus (with button). Sometimes, I even forget I have something in my hand, except when I need to use the button on the pen. Loving the Manta. #fountainpen #supernote #lamy #eink
My WIP is as close as I’ve gotten to a cozy mystery. Of course I’ve never ever gotten near a mystery, cozy or otherwise. Maybe that’s why. #writing
What do you want to accomplish in 2025? Are you making time for fun, leaisure, and accounting for failure and pain? Are you including time to learn something new or to improve your life or the lives of others? Share your plans. Inspire others. #life #2025
Fountain pen just ran out of ink. Switching over to the Manta. I’ll fill up the next pen in rotation once I get home later. #writing #fountainpen #supernote
“The Knight Who Slept During The Day” Seems like a good title for a book about a gallant knight vampire. #writing
“Reading” an audiobook is Iike “smelling” a light. It may be possible, but I wouldn’t call it either reading or smelling. You listen to audiobooks, you see light. Or maybe perceive. Flame on! Yes, I’m being pedantic and literal. Heh.
Yes, I’m in a weird randomly entropic mood. I have a book to finish writing, and I’m dumping non-related thoughts so I can focus on what matters. Doing a mind-dump helps focus, as long as you dump properly. #writing #focus
Did you receive a book during the holidays? Do you already own a copy or hate it? Donate it to your local library, or to someone who might enjoy it. #books #reading #library
“You have to experiment in life in order to learn what you are capable of. Unless, of course, your experiments kill you.” #writing
“He collected chickens the way some people collected stamps and coins or the way Death collected souls. He was always a step ahead of Death.” #writing
“She wore her nobility on her head and finger. Everything else about her was crass and debaucherous. Royalty has its privileges and she was royalty with a capital R and small t around four o’clock.” #writing #character
“You have to struggle in life, because you hate dying.” #writing
“Did you ever look in the mirror and wish you looked like Colonel Sanders because you loved chicken? I did. But I hate chicken.” #writing #throwawayline
“Her nostrils exuded a liquid not unlike gelatin which hadn’t set. If anyone were brave enough to taste it, which she did, they would have found it to be more disgusting than lime-flavored gelatin. This made her cry, which just produced more of the substance.” #writing #character #throwawayline
Everyone has a bad day. Everyday is a bad day. What you do with it, and how you approach it determines your happiness. #life #success
“Each year winds down like an old-timey clock that needs winding. Each year, politicians and stress wind it back up.” #writing #time
“He was a small man. He was lacking in stature, wisdom, honor, honesty, kindness, and manhood. His bravado was the biggest part of him, but that was still as small as he was.” #writing #character
Plan for 2025: — be more patient with myself. I tend to expect too much of myself. #life #success
I’m in the middle of this book’s climax. There are some twists and turns that I need to reveal. But I still don’t have a clear picture of how the book ends. Metaphorically speaking, since I have aphantasia and can’t picture anything. #writing #wip #pulp
Time for wings and free-writing.
“The well-motivated murderer, rarely gives up.” #writing
Happy Still Need To Do Day Yes, it’s a thing.
