Editing my book is a pleasure. Sometimes I come across a line or paragraph, and say to myself, that's pretty good. Here is a scene I enjoyed. #Writers #Writingommunity #amediting

Message to my tribe. Going thru a bad time right now. Time to reach out to the ones I love, to say the words I Love You. Time to help a friend or a stranger. An act of kindness, compassion, or help benefits you as much as the one you help. #Writers #WritingCommunity #Love #Compasion #Help

Donna Summer's She Works Hard for Her Money #Writers #WritingCommunity #WIP #PitchDis #Music

Not a specific instance. The concept was more about a story of the accumulated experiences of underrepresented uniting for success. #Writers #WritingCommunity #WIP #amediting the final chapter today

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Comparison kills joy especially for writers in the editing stage. Just believe. #writers #writerscommunity #writer #writing #writingcommunity  #words  #writerslife #author #story #write #writerscorner #writerssociety #writersociety #writersconnection #writersclub #writersuniverse

No. Most of my books do not include pets. I do have horses and camels for riding, and farm animals.

Aug 26 Favourite poet or poem IF by Rudyard Kipling

Serious underwriter My 1st draft is half or less the final word count. Revisions start character development, descriptions, story arcs, background info, and flow. Then I begin to edit where my corrects usually add more words. #Writers #WritingCommunity #PitchDus #amediting

Aug 27 Shout out a book reviewer I cannot control the deeds of others. I can try to lead by example. My shout out is to those like me who leave a good review. Books I do not enjoy get no review. I will not leave a bad review. #Writers #WritingCommunity #Respect

Aug 25 Advice to new writers! Reading your work out loud is a good editing practice. Listening to your work is even better. If you do not have a volunteer reader, find a good text-to-speech program. MS Word Read Aloud, in the review menu is not bad. #Writers #WritingCommunity #amediting

I live in Panama for a reason. My computer is set between two door. I love sitting here enjoying the tropical breezes as I write. Occasionally a butterfly passes thru, and on rare occasions, a bird takes the shortcut. #PitchDis #Writers #WritingCommunity #TropicalParadise #amediting

Mostly a pantser, but it varies. I have outlines ideas I did not have time to start writing. Sometimes I use an outline to workout a problem with a timeline or something. #Writers #WritingCommunity #PitchDis #disAbility

Aug 21 Conflict “Our companies will continue to do business. But you have opened my eyes and I will be watching closely from now on. Be happy I did not give in to my impulse to rip your balls off with my bare hands!” The evil glare in her eyes gives him no doubt the last statement is sincere.

@ebonylynnmudd.bsky.social Congratulations on your new book. It sounds amazing. #Writers #WritingCommunity #KidLit #PBRS

My 3rd grade teacher praised my writing. She told mom I got the others writing stories, but mine was at a higher level. I couldn't write for many years after my accident. Typing is limited by bad hands, so I use MS Word speech recognition. #PitchDis #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #amediting

Aug 12 Trouble The news from Spaceport America is not good. The sheer scale of the plumbing, wiring, testing, and safety certification work for a passenger vehicle is also massive. Bureaucratic delays are notoriously inaccurate. Delays accumulate, days become weeks, and threaten to become months.
