@Freyy_is It's also the excessive use of calm/calmly, gentle/gently, and silent/silently.

the em dash is no longer the clearest sign of ai-generated writing. honestly? it’s this.

@goodreads You know what? I'm gonna be selfish and say my own novel.

Which book has your favorite cover? (Bonus if you share a photo!)

@FBGreatMoments Why didn't he drop the ball before he crossed the goal line? Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

What football looked like in the 1940s.

I wrote a novel published in 2020 that depicted a scenario similar to Charlie Kirk's shooting. Give it a read and let me know what you think. #thriller #mystery #crimefiction #silverfalchion a.co/d/7AGGnQV

The Tennessee win today was great, but hearing Mike Keith as the voice of the Vols is what made it special. Great job, Mike! #vols #GBO #mikekeith

@Jesse_Sir Biggest sports win in school history (if you don't count the rifle team).

I know @BennySims is proud. Go Racers!

@WilliamTCliffo2 Murray State is small, but not that small. Enrollment is around 8,000.

Hugh tip of the cap to MURRAY STATE for advancing to the Super Regionals . Well done RACERS - Southwestern Kentucky with an enrollment of 1000 undergraduates ⚾️⚾️

@JTsoundoff I think we remember how well a forced retirement worked out in the long term when Fulmer was shown the door.

If Tennessee loses this game (probable) It's finally time for me to have this talk As a #Vols fan, do we: A. Keep Barnes til his retirement and let him plateau this program since he's put us higher than any HC before Or B. Wait til a slump year and can his behind Or C. Talk to him about retiring in X # of years and also try to lineup the next HC up Or D. Other/Comment #GBO #Vols #CBB #RickBarnes 🍊🍊

@Gabino_Iglesias I think I already have.

That thing that makes you want to write? I hope you never lose that.

We're at that time of year when NFL playoffs will be played in bitter cold temps, and the players will pretend they're extra tough by not wearing sleeves. Guys, you're not intimidating anyone by doing this. You're just risking frostbite. #NFL #playoffs

@marie_keates @Nickyshearsby22 I've always thought stories with heavy adverb usage come across as amateurish.

@Nickyshearsby22 I try to avoid using adverbs as a crutch. I’ve read so many books where every action or piece of dialogue has an adverb tacked on. It makes the work feel amateur and boring. They have a place, but that place isn’t every other sentence.

The strongest verb is the one that communicates exactly what someone is doing and how they are doing it — without any need for an adverb. Do you use adverbs, or kill them when you spot them?

@KolinaCicero 146 rejections in four years before getting a contract.

@spann I was there and got to experience the tornado up close and personal.

ON THIS DATE IN 1989: Around 4:20 p.m. on November 15, 1989, an isolated thunderstorm merged with a squall line over the southwest part of Huntsville, near Redstone Arsenal, and within minutes an F4 tornado dropped from the sky, moving through the southern part of the city. It would destroy or damage 80 businesses, 3 churches, a dozen apartment buildings, and more than 1,000 cars. It moved on, climbing over Garth Mountain, demolishing Jones Valley Elementary School, and destroying 259 homes in the Jones Valley area. All told, the tornado killed 21 people and injured 463. And, unfortunately, there was no tornado warning until several minutes after the twister touched down… this was before Doppler Radar was in operational use in Alabama. Do you remember?

Just in time for Halloween. One victim a week for a year, told from the killer's perspective. It'll make you think about the random stranger you pass on the street. #ShamelessSelfpromofriday #ReadersCommunity #booktwitter #bookrecommendations amazon.com/Mile-Marker-Ze…
