I’m just watching what they’re doing and writing it down. Like a creepy observer.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
When you write a scene with your character, are you the director overseeing their actions, or are you playing the part of one or more characters? Something else?
Does that change depending on the circumstances?

If you’re living in frozen conditions right now, post the must summery picture in your photo library.
tbh, my area is experiencing unusually *warm* conditions for this time of year, but I wanted to share a tropical beach picture 😅

drafting my new WIP has been easier than I anticipated, and I’m having fun writing whatever chaotic nonsense pops into my head, but I imagine I’ll hit a wall eventually. lol

If I don’t make a sale in the next few days, my 2 year “at least one sale every month” streak will end.
The Sidetracked characters helped me through some tough times in my life. It would be cool to one day hear that reading their story has done the same for someone else.

The only response I ever get to this from lesser evil Stans is "I want that for everybody (except you is silent) and it's selfish for you to want that for you too."
If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all, and your party can burn to the ground and the nation along with it.
