Flibbles

And it's done. The Horizon Now Trilogy is fully released, after all the trouble with publishing hangups. Final book is here: amazon.com/Horizon-Future…

@WrnrWrites Squinting at the words. Holding down fluttering pages. Flapping away bugs. It's magical.

Reading a book in the sun works wonders.

@douglass_meghan I heard as a kid that after 7 years, NONE of the atoms in your body will still be there. I bet that saying came before microplastics.

Fun fact: Most of the atoms in your body weren’t part of you a year ago.

"Made a multiverse" is this generation's "Jumped the shark."

My unnecessary side characters slowly being edited out of the story:

I understand why doctors initial the body part of yours they're about to operate on. But it always disconcerts me as much as it would if I saw my doctor taking notes with a crayon. We've got modern science, but this is how we prevent errors.

@lovedropx Interesting quote considering some of the trouble he's been in lately.

AC company: "Alright, I've scheduled you for Wednesday for your AC repair." Me: "Great! What time can I expect your tech to show up?" AC company: "Wednesday."

@Kdpexpert2 You're better off for it.

@AdmFlibbles i dont know about bitcoin

Does anyone else wonder if unique story ideas are like bitcoin? They were so much easier to mine back in the day, but now we've got 8-billion people trying to mine new ideas. Unique ones come harder and harder.

Non-writers will never know the willpower it takes to rewrite a scene without looking back at your old draft to see how you did it before.

@Wordsmith66 Have fun with this. Amazon once took forever approving my book. So long that I had to abort my publishing schedule. I eventually lost my ISBN after I had to abort the book too.

The book is done and uploaded, but still waiting for Amazon to make it available. Thanks for your patience!

Mystery writer: "What symptoms do you experience after taking a lethal dose of cyanide?" Google: "Don't give up. Help is available."

@SDDonovan I've heard there are studies that show spoilers can actually increase enjoyment of a story for some. Probably something to do with anticipation or something.

Are you one of those readers who flips to the last page, reads it, THEN starts the book?

@VKasley @HDunn_Writer I suspect that all of us writers following more than 1000 people have gotten desensitized to a Home feed of mostly-fluff. I'm trying to fix that for myself, but good God it's a lot of work.

@AdmFlibbles @HDunn_Writer I try to see other's stuff, but there's so much fluff in between it's hard to.

DOES engagement actually help book sales, or is it more about, like, exposure and popularity?

@HDunn_Writer @VKasley I think part of the problem is most X writers are here to get seen, not to see other people. As followers, we're not very attentive.

@VKasley I suspect that a large number of my followers are just bots. I get very little interaction unless I post something like a photo of a sandwich or a sock.

@daily_dolce I think because you're about to lose one of those scoops.

Why choose one when you can get them all 🍨🤎

An instinct to build a spiderweb must be the strangest thing. Does the spider know what it's making? Or does it finish the first time and realize, "Oh my God! My mom had one of these!"

@HonestPassion13 You think that's old? Have you pulled a muscle getting out of bed yet?

Welcome to getting older, where sleeping wrong means that your back hurts in the morning

@SepiaMeteorites Every reader I talk to seems to appreciate having chapters that are short and easy to gun through since they don't have a lot of time otherwise.

Isn't that like the average amount of pages per chapter?
