I don't recommend pausing your #editing to move around some #Thanksgiving photos. You just might accidentally paste a #turkey into the middle of your book instead of your beloved #em-dash.

As a long time #ebook reader, I'm baffled at how to drink tea and read a #paperback at the same time.
Like, I need a hand to hold the book AND a hand to turn the page? What madness is this???

When you're #reading #nonfiction, how often do you start thinking about what is said or follow a tangential thought and stop listening to what you're reading?
It can be so hard to find the last thing I actually took in. Was it a paragraph ago? A page? And what was I even distracted by? I forgot...

She didn't know when, where, or why she'd be trapped in a gargoyle's clutches, but she would be. She'd seen it. And while her #visions were rare, they always came true.

"Right, your infamous unicorn fist," muttered Mike with a smile, remembering how I renamed "flipping someone off."
"Normally, you'd be correct, but here by the ocean, it's my #narwhal fist!" I shouted over the sand. Wow, maybe that last drink was one too many...

Love them so! ❤️

When it comes to #nonfiction, I’m a painfully slow reader. Give me a romance & I'll read it in a day. A fantasy, two. Put nonfiction in my hand, months.
I have to stop & think about each #essay. Find how to integrate it into my knowledge bank. Assimilate life around it.
Is it the same for you?

Me: working on edits in a cafe...
Me: making a good edit & glancing up at my table companion to see... no one.
Me: looking around in surprise & seeing no evidence they ever existed...

I never understood "the muddle in the middle" until now. I'm working on book 3 of 5. Book 3 is the middle...
Books 1 and 2 flowed onto the page. All my current ideas are for books 4 and 5, which I can't write yet... At least they're percolating!

I dreamed I was in a class analyzing my upcoming novella.
It wasn't a bad dream. It was a *teehee no one here realizes I wrote this* dream.

Why is it that the cheapest way to proof a physical copy of my book is to literally order it in book form? It's cheaper than getting it printed on computer paper somewhere.
Literally, I went to print an 80 sheet novella (2 pages per sheet) and it was going to be $60! 🤮

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

Matilda sipped her tea, standing at the window. As she looked out and down on the others in her town, she knew she needed to do something drastic if she were to find a man worthy of continuing her #bloodline.

I participated in the #vss365 challenges over on the blue bird app, but things got complicated when suddenly the icon turned into a black X. I was certain I had a *orn virus. I mean, there was no other explanation. I'm told the rebranding is a #complex issue, but that sounds like a load of bull.
