Hey Gen X how many of you watched The Omen way to young and ran to get a Bible afterwards to read the Book of Revelations?

I know I'm not the only one.

Jotting down ideas for my next newsletter. I will probably write about the editing process for my novel and the inspiration for the story which I realize is spite. My ideas come from spite. This story was inspired by 2 incidents. One in junior high school and one a few years ago. #booksky πŸ’™πŸ“š

I'm thinking of writing up a post about what kickstarted the premise for my WIP and first book. It involves high school, the popular crowd, getting uninvited to the 30th class reunion and blocked from the Facebook group. For anyone who hated everyone they went to HS with, you'll understand

Welcome to all my new followers. I'm an author/poet who seems to write about 90s angst and Gen X friends doing Gen X things. I post about writing and I tend to babble about stuff I'm passionate about like TV, movies, and music. Welcome all! #GenX #Booksky ##writingcommunity #fiction #poetry

Thanks. I'm thinking that's better than a thicker book. It also keeps the price down and I want people to be able to afford it.

Question for all you writers, would you prefer a writing prompt book that has 50 prompts and back and front to write, or more prompts? I'm trying to keep the cost down and I can sell a 100 page softcover for $5.99 or I can include more prompts and create a bigger book.

I've found myself so much more productive going about editing chapter by chapter. It's less daunting than going through the entire manuscript all at once. Breaking into smaller chunks actually gets it done.

1st chapter of my WIP done. The main character learns she's not invited to her 30th high school reunion. The idea came from my friends & I being uninvited and kicked out of an FB group for our 30th because we posted about how everyone were cliquey assholes & still are.

I'm getting ready to work on the final draft of my novel WIP. #Booksky Which POV do you prefer? 1st, 3rd etc...

I've written it in both 1st and 3rd and cannot make up my mind which POV I prefer.

Wow I didn't realize Amazon was winding down Kindle Vella. I'm not surprised. I know a few authors were successful but it didn't seem to catch on like KU. And I never understood having to pay two separate reading services like KU and Vella as a reader. #writingcommunity #readerscommunity

Hey #GenX peeps.

What was the worst ticket line you ever waited on back in the day?

Mine was Bon Jovi. We waited all night in -7 below temps and ended up NOT getting tix because the record store employees bought them before they opened the doors. Here's a pic of my friends waiting that night.

I don't want to know your favorite New Kid, or Backstreet Boy, or N'SYNC member. I want to know who your favorite Monkee is.

Having a one person car concert belting out Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog. Of course, I do the Chris Cornell parts! And IMO I hit every note.
