Any writers using Scrivener for novel writing, what do you think of it? I downloaded the 30-day trial and like it so far, but I literally got it yesterday, so haven’t played with it that much yet. Any advice/pros/cons appreciated! #indieauthorlife 🖋️📕💰

PEOPLE! The whole “Trump wants a third term” thing is a distraction. He may want it, sure. But what’s important now is holding his administration accountable for the dangerous incompetence they’ve exhibited via things like #SignalGate and the #DOGE slash and burn debacles.

Interesting how easy it is to transform the Tesla logo…

Haven’t found time for writing lately. I believe in sticking to a daily writing schedule, but once you’re out of the habit, it’s hard to get back in.

For anyone feeling this, here’s what I tell myself: I will write regularly again, it’s in my soul. But it’s ok that I’m not doing it right now.

Oh, and we’re still finding joy in our friends, families, communities, and in the beautiful diversity that is our world and our country.

Hey, #maga, just so you know:
• We’re not crying
• We’re not scared of you
• We’re angry, fired up, and committed.

You will lose.

Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Now THIS is what we need. Right on, judge!

Yikes.

Got one of those political texts asking “How would you grade Trump’s first 100 days?” Well, it’s actually only been like 18 days, but I can confidently say that even after the next 82 days, I’m sure he’ll get a solid “F” for Fascism.

Love to hear that!

Beautiful!

My optimistic and unfounded belief in humanity says yes. What I actually see, when analyzed realistically says…maybe? I do believe that positivity and human compassion ultimately prevail over oppression. But “ultimately” might not mean in my lifetime. I certainly hope optimism wins the day.

The best feeling! Hope it keeps flowing!

Awesome advice, and very timely for me. Thank you!

Sounds awesome, three of my favorites too! Good luck with it!

Add me (please, if I didn’t already request it and forget!)

Last night I had a dream that I summoned several different versions of myself either from the future, or parallel realities, I’m not sure which, to help me with something. I think subconscious me is on to something. #scifiwriting

Excellent demonstration of the premier coping mechanism for stress induced by late-stage capitalism and political upheaval: Live tweeting (or whatever it’s called on #bluesky) #antiquesroadshow

#writerscoffeeclub I’d agree with your assessment. The draft of my first novel which was a personal story that had been bouncing around in my head for years came relatively easily. Current WIP, a sprawling Sci-fi epic that explores “what if humans could do basically anything” is taking a lot longer.

You are all safe here.

Nice, it is also intriguing! Elements of Hitchhiker’s Guide (less absurd), maybe a little Starship Troopers thrown in?

I haven’t read the “good” description, but I doubt it could make me want to read it any more than this one does! Sounds intriguing!

Spudnuts!

To be fair, Trump knows nothing about the white history of America either.

Love it!

This is great advice on how to recognize and avoid falling into a trap a lot of us fall into when telling our stories.

Nice! Sounds like an interesting character.

Sounds like you’re a writer to me!
