Good morning all

Fifty years ago, on Sept. 26, 1975, The Rocky Horror Picture Show flopped at the U.S. box office — then became the longest-running theatrical release in history.

(Niche commentary incoming…) One of the easiest ways to make an actor sound legitimately Texan, which I rarely hear, is the use of “might could”. Hear an example of this while learning how to tell if your expensive fancy eggs are legitimately raised in a special and humane way!

I now have a full fledged cold. I am miserable. Everyone please stay healthy. This misery doesn't need company.

Q5. If you are finding that building your writing community is challenging, do you have any questions for other writers so that they might offer some helpful advice? #TWSOchat

Just flew in to Cleveland Oh and boy are my arm tired

This week has been a challenge. Photoshop works then it doesn't. Im behind getting my children's book to the printer. So many moving parts. I've had to put my Scififantasy mystery book 3 wip on the back burner as I slowly drown trying to get everything ready for crowdfunding. #indieauthor

Traditional vs Self-Publishing: Which Path is Right for You? You've written a book—or you're in the process of writing one—and now you're wondering: How do I publish this thing? Traditional vs Self-Publishing; Do you go the traditional route, submit to publishers and hope for a contract? Or do you…

Yesterday I started the weekend with floating around like some diva with the dog in my arms 😂🐾 Then a million 30 second Dance Parties with the grandkid. Today Japanese Festival Downtown. Weekend fun for once. #weekend

The simplest way to repurpose your writing into income. Publish a sentence or two on social media. Expand it to 500-1500 words as a Medium Story. Turn it into a 50 page self-published minimalist book. Bonus points: Use your newsletter to promote them all.

Birthday books that I *didn't* write and self-publish today, plus a single Luigi (for cultural reasons). This'll hold me a while.

Another great recommendation for writers. Writing action and fight scenes aren't always easy. Action! Writing better action using cinematic techniques by Ian Thomas Healy is a must have in your reference library. #writing #booksky

I wish I had this when I started writing 9 years ago. Lots of great advice. #writing #booksky #indieauthor

🗓🐾Kiki is counting down the days till her big surprise 🎄✨️ #childrensbook #indieauthor

Writing folks, where’s the best place to self-publish a bunch of previously published non-fiction articles these days? I have a bunch of articles that were published in print mags that could use a new home. Is Medium still the best place? #writing

Question: Is it easier to self-publish or go the traditional route? Answer: It is WAY easier to self-publish. I have edited for many traditionally published authors, some who have written dozens of novels, but the industry has changed dramatically over the past few years. #Authorshelpingauthors

Kiki practicing early for a very special visit. She can't wait to share with you her secret. #indieauthor #childrensbook
