Run don’t walk to watch this!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

So far MC Hammer has been used by two groups and we aren’t hallway through the competition lol #jgpankara

You would think that a theme based on the 90s would lead to more colorful costumes. But lots of red and black so far. #jgpankara

Come join me as I’ll be watching a commenting!

So as far as classics. We have Mask of Zorro and Vivaldi’s Seasons. Thinking about the over under on the other classic programs music. Claire de Lune, Moonlight Sonata and Exogenesis #RigaJGP

Watching the #RigaJGP free dance. Like what I see! Juniors has more variety in the FD. I’ve seen Jazz, Modern and Spanish Flamenco! Seniors could never!

And also if you haven’t figured out this is now a #writing and #icedance commentary page ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

France, Canada and the US in the top three. I would say the Swiss Program stood out the most to me. Can’t wait to see the Free Dances tomorrow. And yes I heard at least 3-4 jock jams songs this competition. Maybe I should track through tour the season for the lolz 🤔 #rigajgp

Not the French team body rolling on the ice #rigajgp

In the first half of the #rigajgp 3 teams fell. Fix the ice y’all. Feel bad for the teams but it’s the first comp of the season. They will recover and hope they knock it out of the park in the Free Dance.

The Swiss team’s program at #rigajgp is Technology and the first SMS text sent. Okay creativity and thinking outside the box!

Watching #icedance at #rigajgp. I’m trying to guess the over/under on a jock jams songs being used lol

#Figureskating season has started! The first #ISU #JGP event is currently underway! #IceDance is tomorrow. Can’t wait to recap and see the team’s programs and #90s music choices.

#WritingLifeMonthly Open. Lesbians have either been pornified by men or turned into sexless beings by people who believe women don't like sex and come up with debunked nonsense like "lesbian bed death". Sex is part of who lesbians are and lesbians rarely get to tell it.

Currently in the middle of edits to add more subtext to my narrative. But I think a few scenes do have that simmering angsty tension #summerofstory #lunchtimewriter #romancewriter #blackhistoricalromance #writersky

I love Media Res! My current WIP starts in Media res. Reader feedback has been really positive. They love that it starts like this and not a few moments before the chaos! #lunchtimewriter #summerofstory #writersky

🙋🏾‍♀️ I’m a fan of sentence the fragment as both author and reader. Like your post says we don’t think in perfect grammar. Also that sentence fragment can really highlight what you want the reader to take away from the passage. #summerofstory #lunchtimewriter

When editing do a search for the word “was”. Cut that number by half and you will make your writing more descriptive and dynamic.

I'm excited to announce a game I'm hosting in August. #SummerOfStory. It's a prompt game with a twist: a deep dive into some well-known writing tips & techniques—and how we use or break them. Looking forward to some fascinating chats (and debates!) Hope to see you there! #writingprompt #writing

My man told me not to… this week on #TheRead

Natálie Tascherlová is sharing her story and helping to show young skaters they can be themselves on the ice 👏👏👏 full episode: youtu.be/pW-BS2_gj7I

Farewell, Edmund White, a true original.

Took me all last week but I was able finish the full outline of my novel and working on an outline of the new opening scene! #lunchtimewriter #romancelandia #romancewriter #amwriting #writersky

We’re all gonna die but some of us will die well-read.

Definitely! That’s the joy of enemies to lovers! #MayWeDance #lunchtimewriter #romancelandia #amwriting #writersky

Georgianna has planned the whole trip. David and Beatrice sneak away the second she turns her back. Teddy is sleeping and lounging by the pool. Amelia will hang with Georgianna to see all the sites. #romancelandia #lunchtimewriter #writersky #amwriting

Vivienne wants a partner who will love her as she is, instead of loving the person they want her to be. She wants to be supported and cherished. Logan wants someone who will be as devoted to him as he is to them, who won't leave him because they found something better. #MayWeDance #WritingCommunity

The #WIPSnips word for May 27 is “sign” I’ll go with “signs” (also, fun fact, Amber Glenn said at Sunday’s Stars on Ice Q&A that the cantilever is her favourite on-ice move, which makes me like this snippet even more).

Well I’m a sucker for love and happy endings. Also the challenges/conflicts my characters face are things I’m personally struggling with. And even if I can’t get closure/resolution in my own life. My characters sure can! 🥲 #MayWeDance #lunchtimewriter #romancelandia #romancewriter #writersky

Ann is enjoying her summer: Mom, pool, 1st swimsuits (& they match)! But one day strangers show up. They talk, talk, talk. Bored, Ann asks, to sit on pools edge. Distracted, Mom says, “Yes.” But while Mom looks at strangers, Ann looks at a pool float. Who looks out for Ann? #WIPpit #PB #OWN

THE DAVENPORTS X PRIDE & PREJUDICE The Black community in 1825 Philadelphia won’t let a few raggedy slave catchers stand between them and their plans for a school— in The Promenade, Judy Cassey’s mouth could put the school, her marriage prospects and her sister’s freedom at risk. #WIPPIT #HF #OWN
