In all of storydom, which character do you feel is most motivated and most motivating? For me, it’s this knucklehead. His own motivation keeps him going no matter what the cost. For others, he must be stopped at all costs. Do you have a character that’s like that for you? #starwars #darthvader
I’m in serious need of a re-start. Maybe today’s the day. Have a sunny one, everybody.
So happy to have my copy of Plot Twist—A Memoir on Writing, by @harlancoben.bsky.social I had the good fortune to meet him and ask a couple of questions at one of his book signings; he’s a fantastic host, funny as anything, and gracious. So happy to have this new wealth of advice and experience.
Two different paths. Two different goals . One common welfare. Their menaced past. Our threatened future. The light of the world is in their hands. #shr #amwriting #fiction
From the “Get Writing-Inspired” file: Vanity Plates! When you come up behind someone at a red light and they’re sporting said plate, don’t you get slightly curious? Are you like me? Don’t you want to know who they are (ok, peripherally) or what their story is? Gets me every time. #amwriting
Sometimes when the darkness surrounds, you can’t wait for a light from the outside to quell it, or for it to fade on its own. Sometimes, you have to have the courage to summon a light within you to bring the hope you have searched your life for. #amwriting #fiction #shr #comingsoon
I know that three are still with us… …but I miss these guys. So much. #csny #davidcrosby #stephenstills #grahamnash #neilyoung
This is actually a thing now—Professional Pillow Fighting. Organized. Sanctioned. Bare-knuckled. Hard hitting. Serious. Only in America, I guess…🤷♂️
Only ten seconds of blank staring—a quiet, locked, eye-to eye engagement, and it’s official: This thing creeps me out. Big time. But it stays where it is. I’ll deal with it. 😱
A perfect two days of WIP progress. Blasted out 30 pages with full steam ahead determination. Lots of moments in place, but not quite in the shape I’m looking for. But that’s OK, because that’s what an editor is for. Three chapters to go. The light is getting brighter. #amwriting #writingcommunity
No matter how demanding the change, no matter the height of the challenge you face, some things will always be the same. Happy birthday, Mom. I love you forever.
Happy 4th, Hometown. Happy 4th, America. Happy 4th, close friends and loved ones. Make today your day. #4thofjuly #america250 #independenceday
