After finally finishing the 115K story, I'm at a loss as to what to start next. Tons of ideas, no clear direction. #writingcommunity

Trad authors: has anyone put a reversion of rights or out-of-print clause into their contracts? Seems like a no-brainer to want your rights returned if the book goes out of print and is no longer selling. Agents: is this a difficult ask? #writingcommunity #agentquestion #publishing #authors

What would happen if a juror, presented a case, used the given evidence to come up with a completely new theory and convinced the rest of the jury? Is it relayed to the Defense? The Court? I get the verdict would be not guilty, but beyond that? #writingcommunity

Today is dragging, need some extra dark elixir.

Too hot to sleep, might as well.

I added a picture of Ilona Maher to my new board (the FMC is a former rugby player) and now my feed is exclusively muscle-mommies. Not the worst, just not helping me build out my haunted house mystery. #writingcommunity

Chili Recipe: dice a pound of peppers, skip seeding them, throw everything in a pot with tomatoes, beans, meat, and spices. Cook. Then die because skipping seeding was a mistake. 🍽️ 🔥🧯💀

Google's AI just slipped right past NYT's paywall and gave me the recipe I wanted. Capitalism vs. capitalism, who will win? 🍽️

Hmm, where to start the next scene? #writingcommunity

I finally figured out the climax of my story last night. Not to give too much away, but it involves a party and a literal freeze ray. #writingcommunity

This is my 2nd year doing Feast of the Seven Fishes for Xmas eve, an East Coast Italian American tradition I first learned about from a truly mediocre romcom 😆🍽️ www.foodandwine.com/recipes/ling...

Linguine with Red Clam Sauce Recipe

The iconic Italian-American pasta dish, packed with fresh briny clams, gets even more flavor from San Marzano tomatoes, plenty of garlic and anchovies, and a finishing touch of parsley.

Adulthood is being unreasonably happy when the snow doesn't stick.

AI doesn't get the joke. Checking that my pun isn't a real business, I'm comforted to learn AI is inherently unfunny. #writingcommunity
