Started the morning with a thunder storm. Then some hail. Hubby scrambled to get our bedding plants indoors quickly. So I made coffee, normally his job. The rain is wonderful for setting t-posts.

I'm not sure, as I really don't use it. My guess is that it's mostly going to be genre fiction there (but I could be wrong). If you're writing literature, you might try self-publishing. Good luck!

If you are a #writer and ever have trouble with #dialogue tags and the appropriate #comma use, this will help. I was doing it wrong for years and didn't know until an #editor asked me if it was a stylistic choice. This graphic has been a life saver for me.
