Imagine going to extra school for learning all the laws real good and then they stop using them. Hilarious.

Oh God I have like 3 separate keep lists of story ideas. I'm good, thanks.
Writers, do you ever fear running out of story ideas? This is one fear I don’t have #writingq #WritingCommunity

I wrote a lot of words! I think over 10,000 of them! (Well, since last Saturday.) Trying to get the brains together to write today, but yesterday was such a mess that it's hard. #QueerWriters

Yeah, I have one thing traditionally published. The editor correctly wanted me to add one scene, but she didn't fuss about anything else, really, in that phase. It was fine! I've had harder edits in fanfiction. #SpoonieAuthChat

Usually I want to pass it off to someone else when I think there's a problem but I can't entirely see the shape of it. I like having someone I can ask questions, to see if what I was trying to do actually worked. #SpoonieAuthChat

Well, I'm mostly a pantser, so it mean finally sitting down and dumping out all the words stuck in my head. Once they're on a page, I can fix them. #SpoonieAuthChat

Even if you don't get to vote for something "fun" like mayor or governor, vote for your school board, oh my God. There are so many awful people backed by big money trying to steal seats so they can ban books and abuse children. No, I'm not exaggerating.
On the ballot today:
-NYC: Mayor
-Minneapolis: Mayor
-VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House
-NJ: Governor
-PA: State Supreme Court
-GA: Public Service Commission
-TX: TX-18 U.S. House
-CA: Prop 50
This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.

Oh, I do love me some Nightmare Before Xmas, although that is shared with Christmas, I guess. I also enjoy the Halloween episodes of Community. #QueerWritersChat

Not in writing, but I do a lot of cosplay at conventions (well, one convention), so I have a lot of costumes in my life. Today I was Wednesday Addams (classic version) during the day, and "person sitting outside in 40F/4C weather" at night. #QueerWritersChat

Question Three: Do you ever take inspiration from Halloween and its related traditions?
Next question at :20!
