#writercommunity #writers Question for you from a new writer.
Does anyone else writer a novel all the way through without breaking it up into chapters, then go back and look to see where to break it up? I had my story flow from me and I left chapters to after I’ve gone through two edits.

67% done with second edit of my novel Almost 63,000 words. All after taking about a week break because of my other life obligations but felt so good to get back into it!
I say if you need to take a break go ahead as the creative juices continue coming together when ready

I was told that I based my whole opinion on the Ukraine US meeting on clips and didn’t watch the whole 50 minutes.
I forced myself to watch it and my opinion is more solid.
If he mentioned a prior administration at fault or how he believes Putin will keep his word when he broke it before…🤬

Someone explain to me why now’s the time for the US to declare an official language of English when no one in 250 years thought there needed to be one because we are a country made up of immigrants.

I think I should start a daily “What in the ever loving $&@&” post because that’s how I feel every time I read the news.
Today’s item: Trump responds to reporter who asks what if Russia breaks their deal by saying what if a bomb dropped on your head?!?

I got back to my novel today!
I had already written the first draft and had started reading through to make edits for a second draft. Unfortunately, the daily rhythm fell to the wayside as I got sick, work, my work as a library board member…but finally got back to it today!!!

Watching the Mr Lee/Zoey Walgreens commercial (if you have Sling you know it as it’s played all the time), it jars me everytime that when the bell dings, we then hear a woman’s laugh. However looking at the video Zoey doesn’t laugh until several seconds later. Bothers me.

Does anyone know why they replaced the actress in the Capital One commercial where they show her in different countries around the world? I understand Jennifer Garner is their main spokesperson but I hope it has nothing to do with ethnicity as the original actress was not Caucasian.

So the concern is over Elon sharing data he claims shows people over 100 and up collecting social security but not on the fact he has access to social security numbers to pull this data from? This means someone not approved and vetted to have this info is willing to share with all and no alarm?!?

Anyone want to explain to me why peace negotiations do not include both parties at the table? Oh that’s right, our current administration just wants to support their buddy Putin and say they ended a war when the previous administration did not. Gotcha

Tammy Bryce “lay the groundwork for future cooperation on matters of mutual geopolitical interest and historic economic and investment opportunities which will emerge from a successful end to the conflict in Ukraine.” So a goal of ending war in Ukraine is economic gain? Why does this not shock me?

This month’s #dcfanartclub challenge was to draw an African American, fictional or real, in honor of Black History Month. I chose Black Lightning, as I liked his original design. I decided on a closeup with his anger starting to boil over.

Want to explain to me what we gain from ticking off our European allies by going around Ukraine to strike a deal with Russia and thinking it will be acceptable to the people affected.
It seems like this administration is going out of its way to alienate our country from the world

I have just read that transgender references have been removed from the Stonewall National Monument website.
A milestone in their civil rights history that led to the fight for transgender rights now has quietly removed them.
They may make the TQIA+ silent, but they and their allies such as me won’t

It was bad enough when the cabinet picks were announced. I still held out hope people would have common sense, and after questioning, would not confirm his choices. I’ve lost that hope. Putting an anti-vax person who does not follow science in charge of health just I don’t know.
