From my nose, to its tip.

taking a break from writing

And the look on her face. Such contempt.

It must be ai speech. He never sounds this coherent.

The Surprising Hobby People Are Abandoning—Down 40%, New Study Finds Researchers say the drop is "deeply concerning."

Just the kinda news an indie author wants to see... not

I hope they don’t bend. Nothing more dangerous esp after meeting Putin.

What is itch? Are we talking about banning? I figure I’ll publish in time to be banned myself.

Contemporary fiction? Jodie Picoult and of course Stephen King

How long has he been here? The wife? Stupid ass. All of it. All of them. It’s not our land. And the people here first welcomed immigrants (20/20and all that)

Probably not hard to do these days! lol

Interested in making a donation to a non-profit that fights book bans, and/or promotes literacy. More interested in national, not local. Ideas?

"What's your book about?"
The best question you can ask an author.
Also the worst.

After working on my series for 3.5 years, I finally have a tagline. Did I write it? No. My husband spewed it off the top of his head, casual as sipping water. I love, love, love that he listens to me and is so supportive of my journey as an indie author.

Wow, that is so cool. Great minds and all that. I didn't know that story!

I first saw this four years ago. I was moved by it then, traumatized by it now. Please share, I don't think we have that many seconds left.

A colorful field of wildflowers with an example of a font called, Horse Puke, centered. Humorous, yes the font exists.

Eleven years ago today I discovered there's a font called Horse Puke. Probably not the best choice for an indie author to use, but I think it tops the name-that-font game, hands down.

I did not know that... now I have to find out. What fun.

I like that! Been trying to do exactly that for my entire writing life.

Image is words on dark background, reads: Words cast spells. That's why it's called SPELLING. Words are energy; use them wisely.

What was your wisdom for today?

A snowy scene set along a river. Sunset, so the colors are shades of glowing pinks and blues.

That moment when you realize the scene you set in total darkness is described as if it was full daylight. Yeah. That one. #booksky #indieauthor #editing #fiction

White coffee cup with black test reading: Yes, English can be WEIRD. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

English can be WEIRD. It can also be WIRED and inspire IRE and make you see RED. Lots of word combos here! Share a few in the comments.
But as for the rest of the message? ENOUGH.
PS, I used to teach ESL classes and I admire everyone who tries to tackle English. It's not easy.

Words on a blue background. Text reads: nefelibata (noun) "cloud-walker" One who lives in the clouds of their own imagination or dreams, or one who does not obey the conventions of society, literature, or art.

Today I'm rooting for the latter meaning.
Well, not only today.

If only it was ONE scene. 😂

The OP taking a selfie through a bookstore window. The sign reads, Don't look for love, look for books.

A bookstore in Venice, five years ago. This sings to my #indieauthor heart.

We need more of this here. Both sides need to unite. This is our country, our future.

Image shows multi-level library with people and stacks of books. Text reads, Every book you've ever read is just a combination of 26 letters.

How many combos have you done in your lifetime? #booksky #fiction #indieauthor

Black and white line drawn cartoon showing on figure sitting at a desk, another standing behind it pointing a gun at his head. Text reads, "The muse most of us really need" and the character with the gun is yelling, "Write the (expletive) story."

Expecting edits back this week, which means this will be me next week. And the one after. And the one... so what am I doing? Writing a new story.

My Dev Editor told me that my book is a genre fusion. That sounds good but it's also probably bad when it comes to finding readers. Why are genres so hard to nail?

Image of Carl Sagan and a long quote about the magic of books. Paraphrased: A book is a flat object made from a tree on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. One glance and you're in the mind of another person. Books break the shackles of time; proof that humans are capable of working magic.

Agree. But to me a book is not 'flat.' It's bursting with ideas and hard work.

Ohhh. Sorry it happened to you.

I figure my debut will drop in time for it to be banned.
