Saying that, can you lend me some of that time travel? I could use a few extra hours a day just now!

Been writing some poems this week, but looking to sink my teeth into something longer form. But life is such a hurricane lately I’m struggling to find the opportunity. Maybe this is a good moment to block out some time…

A mix of poetry, fiction, the occasional essay. I’m no stranger to a bit of fantasy myself! Are you working on anything just now?

Injustice makes the rules, and courage breaks them. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin

Why not Vikings who sail on an AI powered boat? Think “2001 a Space Odyssey” crossed with, well, Vikings

Always great to meet other writers! What genre do you tend to write in?

ITs more like $5 donllars in Tennessee.

Admist Trumps peace talks with Zelensky and Putin, the negotiations including ending Ukraine's bid for Nato membership and ceding territory. News articles call Ukraine returning to its 2014 borders as "unreasonable."

History repeats itself. The word is appeasment. End the war, but not like this.

Its worth mentioning the reason I don't use it much is its a Freemium service, and I don't want to pay for premium features while I'm trying to buy eggs right now.

Hi - I havent used it but I have heard good things. Ground News is meant to be unbiased as it isn't its own news source but it shows you what both sides of a conversation are saying about any particular issue. I have other recomendations, but this is the only one relevent to UK I think.

“Just write and do it. And make mistakes. The hardest part is getting the feedback. So just write a bad screenplay, send it out, and just take the rejection and make the next one better.” Watch the full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxcl... #WGAWPod

Here for my regular complaints about the oligarchy. I was trying to cancel my broadband today. Need I say more?

I was with TALK TALK PLC (uk) but all these companies are the same. Give me the courtesy to click "cancel" on my service myself. Why should I need to talk to your support team???

This is the simple truth: citizens will always have the power to shape the future of their country.

Trump’s actions are designed to make people feel powerless and overwhelmed. He wants you to tune out—a natural reaction to chaos.

Moon.

The translators from startrek are pretty cool if not generic. The funniest use I know of is from Rick and Morty. “Uhm first of all my name is Blim Blam the alien. I’m murderer that eats babies”. Season 2 episode 3.

Thank you! I look forward to reading your book :)

Yes that was the place! SCGSAH! You left a lasting impression on me, I've shared you're writings with my fiance. I strive to be like you every day.

I would love to talk privately sometime, if you're not too busy to do so. I don't want to ask anything of you. You're just kinda my hero.

Hey Charlie! Why dont you make a hashtag for your challenge, that way people participating can have visibility of it!

If you do, I'll participate. May I suggest #20daysentencechallenge or something better if you can dream up?

(P.S.) Great idea and a great scentence!!!!

Keep up the good work! I believe in you.

Pardon me for being so bold, but does reading advanced copies cost money? I don't wish to beg but I am a hard timer at the moment and would be interested in providing feedback in exchange for a digital ARC copy.

Apoligies for my ignorance to the ARC process.

Within Christianity there is the idea of tounges. Basically when someone speaks in tounges, all people of all languages here them in their native language. You could draw inspiration from that.

Perhaps some form of telepathy can facilitate tounges or technology.

Throwing one out there, not expecting a reply.

@jonronson.bsky.social If you are reading this you have been an inspiration to me for years. You gave a guest lecture at my school in Greeneville, SC. You told us to HUSTLE if we want to be writers. I'll never forget it.

Keep on hustling!

There is something special about reading your own writing from a long time ago. Reading with fresh eyes allows you to be impartial, almost like someone else wrote it. Because, at the end of the day, the person you are a year ago is unlikely to be the same person you are today.

I believe that writing is revision. Great quote!

My personal process when writing with intention of sharing is to make a physical copy and actually put it in a drawer. I wait 2-8 weeks, then reread with fresh eyes. The first pass, I type quickly and with fervor!

I'm interested in the quote! Keep writing, never stop!

Does anyone have recomendations for places to take old, not valuable, unwanted books? The local library is inundated or else that would be my first port of call. I need help people I've rescued two books from the garbage already and don't know where to take them!

The other day, I discovered a book in the kitchen trash where my Grandma had read it and decided she didn't want it anymore. I wasn't able to rescue THAT book due to the wet coffee grounds I accidentally poured all over it, but another one appeared two days later.

Continued in thread below.

These days I can't read the phrase "turn your tv off" without hearing K. Dot in my brain. MUSTARRRRRRRRRRD!

"It's not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always, young readers will be the real losers." ~ Judy Blume

Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the choice to stand despite it. Even the smallest flame can keep the darkness at bay.
