Doug may not be quite over the hill but he's certainly approaching the summit. He has 12 e-books published and a bunch more coming.

Now Draft2digital is charging a maintenance fee for low revenue authors, I'm taking a hard look at XINXII as a free, aggregate publishing platform. Does anyone have any experience with it good or bad? #Writingcommunity

I wonder if these days teachers mark based on the quality of their students' work or whether they mark on their students' ability to find a really good AI program.

I went to select a fantasy book on Overdrive and the first 15 had the dreaded keyword, 'romance' or even worse, 'romantasy'. It's becoming difficult to find something I enjoy reading. #writerslife

@Adele_Liles Yes, if it's in the same paragraph, but probably not if it's scattered over a few hundred pages.

Not bad, it's November 7th and I'm at the 61% mark in my Christmas shopping. #writerslife

I realize 'Speed and secrecy are everything' is grammatically correct but darn it, 'Speed and secrecy is everything' somehow sounds better. #writerslife

@author_VV First person works well in some cases but it's wretchedly difficult to incorporate subplots in your book. #writerslife

@StephenKing I'm pretty sure you're only banned in schools. If you were truly banned people would need to smuggle them across a border and risk being arrested for possession.

I am now the most banned author in the United States--87 books. May I suggest you pick up one of them and see what all the pissing & moaning is about? Self-righteous book banners don't always get to have their way. This is still America, dammit.

Fantasy writers can benefit considerably by reading classical fiction. #writerslife

@elchandler Sometimes, if it's really unfamiliar and I can't determine the meaning through context.

Do you look up unfamiliar words when you read?

I find it offensive to be pressured into calling him ‘she’. See how that works? It’s his narcissistic injury versus my moral injury, but only one of us is demanding the dismantlement of the other one’s rights.

@stepha_henson What do you enjoy? Write about it. What annoys you? Poke fun at it in writing. Glance at a news site. Behind every headline is a story. If you're blocked, it might be because you feel you 'should' write certain things in a certain way. Toss the 'should's over the wall.

I am a writer who hasn’t really written anything new in a while. Feel guilty. I just can’t find my groove. Any tips?

For commercial success I think a reasonable rule of thumb for time division is 10% writing, 20% editing and 70% marketing. #writerslife

What’s something you would probably be very good at if it weren’t for the fact that you don’t like it? I’ll go first. I would be an excellent marksman, except I really don’t like guns.
