I had a response to this, but it was replaced by a better one.

#WordWeavers 12, What would you tell a fellow writer who was struggling with self-doubt?

Writing and cooking for a crowd are similar in that the best of both are when you do it for yourself first.

#WritersCoffeeClub 12 Feb: How unique is the setting of your current WIP?

Starts locally (Lakewood, Ohio) and ends up globally. Thank Google Maps for helping with the locals. I've been to many of those places, but details are important.

The Democrats have taken Napoleon's comment, “the enemy is making a false move, why should we interrupt him?” to the extreme.
"The Republicans are messing up, time to become the deer in the headlights!"

#WordWeavers 2/11 MC POV
Sit down, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. What do you see in your mind's eye?

Pancakes.

Did I mention I wrote this in the morning?

#WritersCoffeeClub 11: What time of day is most productive for you? Why?

Right after I decide to start writing. Because I get so much done around the house during my "writing avoidance" hours.

It's that time of year when the sun is a little brighter, people seem a little nicer, and a man's heart leaps at the sound of those three little words...

Pitchers, catchers, report

#WordWeavers for February 10:
Have you ever dedicated your work to someone?

Just the bad parts.

One more field goal and the fans get free coffee.

And I have a VERY disappointed cat, since it is clearly my job to fix this weather.

I live in Cleveland. The Super Bowl is some foreign event that excites people. Like F1 racing or La Tomatina festival.

I will lay some chili dogs at the TV altar for this.

Very nice of you to do all that for your pet bird!

#WordWeavers day 8: What's the most frustrating thing about writing?

So many great ideas that don't fit into the story. (Trust me, they are great. I was told that by me.)

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 8th: How imperfect is your pacing? Do you consider imperfection a sign of your humanity?

First novel, so... pretty sure I get long-winded at times. Fortunately, I like to hear myself talk.

We're already here!

Unfortunately, this is my second WIP. I haven't finished my first, yet. I work on the second when I get stuck on the first.

So, I haven't gotten very far with the story. But, I promise it will offend everyone!

I'll probably watch the Bad Bunny performance. I'm a bit old to know him, but I respect talent.

The funny story will be whether the Puppy Bowl out draws the alternate show by the Magats.

Several storylines occur. MC finds out ALL religions are right. He gets reincarnated, but recalls everything. This makes everybody mad at him.
There's a side character that goes with him. She even dies. She has no idea why.
Then, it gets weird.

Oddly enough, it had more to do with how much I don't like people touching my hair. So, it would get long before I would do something about it.
But, I'll take the win there! 😁

Oh, it gets pretty bad. The MC dies right away and those two mess with him.
After all, a sense of humor is important when you die!

High school is cruel

I can't judge. I had a maroon suit for prom. ('77)

#WritersCoffeeClub Feb 7: Share a pair of consecutive lines of a current or recent project.

“Hey, Jesus. Anything planned for today?”
“Not much, Zeus. Whatchya got in mind?”

#WordWeavers Day 7: What’s the most rewarding thing about writing?
#writing

I stay inside my "special room" when I talk to myself. Way better than out walking and talking to myself.

#WordWeavers
Share an important or fun lesson you’ve learned as a writer.

Everybody wants to know about my WIP. That's why I keep talking about it.

Yep. They all are really interested. Yessirree.

#writersCoffeeClub 2/6: From start to finish, how much time elapses in your current WIP?

As the author, I have NO idea. But, looking over the activities, I would say two years.

And the MC still can't get laid.

So, it's the END? (Exciting Nuclear Destruction)

I haven't gamed out much, but the guard in the article would be great. Hard to get the money to work, though

Am I the only Cavs fan that thinks Harden will end up elsewhere by tomorrow?
