“I’ve been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment” is a great joke. I’d love to see Talarico swap out the punchline each time he tells it. “…since before Ken Paxton cheated on his wife” “…since before Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party” There are hundreds of options.

Beta reading is basically falling in love with characters before the world gets to meet them.🤍

Writers: what’s the hardest part of writing your book right now, starting,finishing,or editing? #bluesky

Tell me about your current WIP! 👀 Out of all my ongoing projects, today I’ve been focusing on one of my stories, which is now over 50k words and still growing. It’s slowly coming together, though my poor main characters are absolutely suffering through every chapter. What about yours? #booksky

I spend a lot of time plotting and I do minor tweaking/editing as I go, so my first draft isn't usually that bad. I'll use this opportunity to say that I'm looking for crit / beta readers for WIP 1 / 2. If any mutual is interested, send a DM! #QueerPrompts #sapphic #lesfic 🌈✒️

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters Does your character swear/curse (religious or secular)? Is it a frequent thing, or something rare that means a lot when it happens? Are curse words setting-specific? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
