I think you're very right. It all comes down to execution and persistence.

I've gone to a ridiculous extreme on editing. We'll see if the effort ultimately pays off. Might not know until I have a few books done.

I'm very much into crafting, and there are touches that are only visible on re-reads.

1st edition had some superfans, but still needed better pacing in the first half, despite the high-octane ending.(pub)

2nd edition, people loved the aliens, but have to elevate the rest to match. (unpub)

-> 3rd

I had it down even lower, but came up with another comedy beat to add. Well worth the word count. I was chuckling a storm.

My series is yet another warning too. I'm a decade behind on writing it...🤷‍♀️

It was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten. My ex's brother was a well-liked doctor in Lake Geneva. They gave me a signed artbook too. 😍

Lots of possible futures. Sci-Fi will warn, as it always does.

When I see dark pictures like top left, I always worry about oil spills.

I got a private tour of the TSR headquarters in Lake Geneva.

Many of my 35+ year friendships were forged in that game.

I'm a dreamer. That's why I write books.

Shoutout to all the other dreamers. 💪🥂🙌👏🙏

12 more days until we can celebrate the valiant knight with pies all around.

It's been 4 days without a like, so I might not be the only person who doesn't know what the NEA is.

Shudder, of course, has me curious.

🤦 IKR

Forests have such strong nighttime vibes.

Coffee is patient.

5am EST is the main group. I try either that or 5am in my actual timezone, but I think showing up matters more than time of day.

It's inevitable, but I wish it were slower. Wisdom is not a common human thing, though.

I use large pigs as a metaphor and plot device, but it's another thing to see them in video. 😲

I really ran out of steam later in the day.

#5amWritersClub an actual day without distractions allowed me to finish 3 chapters (8.30%, 19.56%, 16.50%) all with good editing reductions.

That's about 2-3 times my normal speed with said distractions.

Normally they tried to keep extra only in one season, so he got lucky.

Imagine if we could use that excuse with our bosses and relationships.

'I have to write or I will be smited. Very important."

Imagine a writerly world where everyone is a writer. Could make for an interesting setting. 🤔

I understand that too well. My book got delayed 3 years because of the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin.

Perseverance is everything.

Finishing and marketing are the hardest parts of writing. Congratulations and good luck. 🤞

😂

Always! 🎇 🎉 🥂

Imagine seeing that in your coffee mug.

A wish gone wrong and now you can't get any coffee in your mug.

My mind goes weird places.

It can require a bit of tissues.

They usually come out raw, but without as much editing needed.

My first words are often my best in these scenes.

If someone can turn lines and traffic into something scary, my money is on Jordan Peele.

What if you worshiped a vengeful God and it was more like, "Write or I will smite thee."

Would that cure us all of writer's block forever?

In LA, 45 would be an excuse to stay in. 😂

For All Mankind was a great series and extra fun to watch since one of my friends was an extra in three different seasons.

The Russian angle makes a lot of sense.
