#WritingWoes
Editing then Writing and Writing and Writing ✍️
You know how writing a scene takes thought and planning and that all happens in a minute, then you start typing and working it out and the minute it took to think it has suddenly taken nearly two hours to type and it’s not done yet. SIGH 😞

I know it’s one thing to be editing your story and your character is dealing with tragedy or crisis enough to make you cry, but do you find a sentence or phrase or scene that makes you laugh aloud??
Yeah, I did, I hope you do, too.
Write so the emotions move you!!!

A WOW instead.
Last week’s Read An Ebook Sale at Smashwords.com allowed me to sell and give away just over two-hundred books.
Since most are Full-Length Novels, I figure that is pretty good 😊
Keep On Reading

I was browsing through @theguardian.com and found this story. It's a red flag when Law enforcement and paramilitaries intermingle. CH 6 of @timothysnyder.bsky.social 'On Tyranny' warns about paramilitaries fusing with police and militaries. #booksky📚💙#academicsky

I have a question that I hope #booksky can answer.

Dean Koontz or Stephen King?

I’ve read a quote in one of their books talking about the Luke Skywalker complex.
I desperately want that quote & to give the appropriate credit.

Tonight, I'm diving back into The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong. I started it last month but then got distracted by other books. Tonight I'm in the mood for some cozy fantasy so I thought it was a good time to pick this one up again!

Tosca Musk is the founder of Passionflix.
She’s also Elon’s sister.
Here she is defending him.
Basically, it’s time to cancel those Passionflix subscriptions.

(For the non- #booksky💙📚 - Passionflix is a streaming service / production co. that turns indie books into movies.)

The understatement of the day: "I'm sensing that some liberals are choking over the "normalization" of Trump, and abandoning traditional media outlets altogether out of frustration..."

Democracy Docket saw explosive growth yesterday due to legacy media's failure. Talking to others, we aren't alone.
This morning's "Reliable Sources" is an attempt to burst some media bubbles.

As you digest news coverage about Trump's first acts in office, keep in mind that various audiences are hearing VERY different stories about what he is doing and what impacts he is having... cnn.it/3PJ3CFT

Donald Trump, who stole classified documents and accepts in millions from foreign investments, eliminating the U.S. Council on Transnational Organized Crime should be getting more attention.

Generally, the people committing crimes aren’t be allowed to fire the police.

I have had about ten million people explain helpfully to me that we shouldn’t be kind to Nazis and fascists.

Especially for marginalized groups, those that Biden used to recognize the existence of.
Tell a trans person that they're loved, that they matter, and that the world is a better place because they exist in it.

Remember folks, what we do to fascists here is BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK

No quote dunking, no debates. Starve them of the attention they thrive on & make it impossible for them to gain traction here
Rachel Maddow, at the end of her broadcast tonight, promoted her Bluesky account and Lawrence O'Donnell's Bluesky account too. She told people to get Bluesky.

By the way, my take on this is that if you don’t know where to start, seek out local DSA, NAACP, and Black Lives Matter chapters. They might not be the right home for you, but they give you an opportunity to meet people and start figuring things out.
I want people to stop posting vague advice like “build community”

A lot of people don’t know how to start. Post practical things like “here’s a list of mutual aid groups to connect with” or something
