#writers the trick to writing present tense is avoiding or overusing "is", the same as in past tense avoiding or overusing "was". And its not just removing the word that is the issue. You need to give yourself liberty to be creative with the language and tone

Trying this approach to this novel that's different and more streamlined #writing Yes, fewer characters, less plot. I've never liked a time of plot. I liked GoT because it was something I'd never want to do

I don't know. If there are only personal benefits to achieving your goal, I don't have a problem with you giving up on it.

Reading the first 9k words to make sure it all actually makes sense. Not the plot but the tone and delivery

I have no idea how to talk about what I'm #writing. Neither do I have the energy to find out how. It won't be done till Christmas but hype should start now. I don't want folks to miss this one.

This coffee shop is playing Linkin Park. This music sucks, at least right now. Thought I'd throw that in there

Whatever Marvel show I'm watching, it's truly stupid. On an insulting level. But I've gone too far

If you make money with your art or have clients because of your art, you will be the FIRST ones ai 💕 impacts. Why? Because it's the area where it doesnt need to be perfect. And if you think people want more people interactions, I think you're wrong.

I'm writing this scene. Again, it's like nothing I've written. Just such an unusual premise for a scene. I'd rather have a staff of writers take something like this on.
And, eventually, I just might

I'm learning that my new work will be in first person. Really happy to finally hear the narrative and not just see the images. Big deal for me

Been doing practice writing for this novel for a while. Tonight the real file starts. This might be the most difficult novel I've attempted.
But...go read Tre-erde. Go read Katy of Clay. Oh, yeah.

As some of y'all know, I've been planning a novel that I'm not going to put out on my own. I've been waiting for the summer to write it. 3,500 words a day at about 35 days.

I've not watched one football game this year. But the super bowl is a huge distraction. I'm just going to go ahead and be distracted. I'm fine with that

I took this author photo on my own. I like it. Well, my wife clicked it after I set it all up. Get your author photo semi-professionally done, even if it's someone with a phone who really knows how to use it. But I like this, actually. In my basement

A dragon ate Janae's buried son. It doesn't mean she's not going to get her revenge on the dragon...and get her son back. 662GR is the code on Smashwords.com to make it cost about $1. #Authors and #readers, by all means, tell everyone Tre-erde is back on the market. Tell them U.L. Harper is back!

Over on D2D they offer to try to start a digital audiobook. I assume it would be like when .pdfs read to you. But they're working with Apple, it says.

Listening to Kind of Blue. This is certainly one of my favorite albums. Got it on vinyl. Also listening to Tom Waits' Blood Money. Also one of my favorites. Now I just need to find a way to market this awesome book of mine that I've neglected.

I was inches away from publishing through Amazon because Sparks was being super difficult. Then, I found Draft2digital paperback publishing to be much easier than Amazon, and certainly simpler than IS. We'll see what happens #authors
