@yummythicck @DarranSF Thank you for the suggestion!

@EmmaFreylink @DarranSF Speechify is solid. Helps catch those small mistakes. I used Audioread to listen to articles and PDFs while on the go. Keeps me productive during commutes.

My mistakes are easier to spot if: I READ OUT LOUD! Just a thorough writer, thinking about writing…

@DarranSF @chersmithbooks Nope, totally free

@EmmaFreylink @chersmithbooks Does Speechify cost anything?

@chersmithbooks @DarranSF Another writer told me about Speechify. I do a ton of research, and it's easier to have someone read it aloud for me. So I usually paste the info into Speechify. But it also helps a ton when I do editing.

@DarranSF @EmmaFreylink Never heard of this. I'll have to give it a try.

@DarranSF Yes. When I'm working on a book, I want to be in bed, with snacks and coffee, and thematic soundtracks blaring in my ears. I managed 10k words in a day once. But when it's for work, I just need coffee and no interruptions.

@DarranSF Same. I spent years learning how to use it and it's already loaded onto my computer, so why would I want to pay an x amount of money just to learn how to use a new program that has even less features than MS Word?

Do you use MSWord to write? Just a desperate writer asking dumb questions to get some interaction… Disclaimer: This is a parody post. Any replies may be subject to time zone delay and blistering sarcasm.

AWWWWW !!!

Wow. So many opportunities to chat with "Real life girls nearby"

@Alwyndeb Easy, then don't

@EmmaFreylink I am really struggling to not write a response to your old script from, Into the Shaddows.

My 2yo daughter ran onto the house this afternoon, and waved a stick at me. She told me that she's a pirate, and that she was going to use her sword to kill monsters. Sir Terry would be proud.

@DannySalter At least it said award winning 🤷‍♀️

@EmmaFreylink I don't know, it started telling me that I was an award-winning sock puppet operator for children's television in Norway.

This makes it official, right?

My daughter's been admitted to hospital twice this year. Basically, she's asthmatic, and whenever she catches the flu, it always develops into bronchitis or pneumonia. It's gotten to the point that I can greet the nursing staff in the pediatrics unit by name 🤦‍♀️

@AhmdPy @SimonWhistler Ah, this was one of my favourite ghost stories when I was a kid!

Spooky late night podcast for you where the superstitions gets debunked! 👻 #DTU @EmmaFreylink @SimonWhistler youtu.be/c02XcQyoHrw?si…

The kind of conversations you have with your colleagues when you write about true crime for a living: #truecrime #outofcontext #spoilers @MGscribe

@DannySalter @SimonWhistler I'd have gone with Shaun the Sheep. Much more entertaining

@EmmaFreylink @SimonWhistler I'd have definitely gone for The Smurfs.

When presented with Smurfs, Peppa Pig, Bluey or Spongebob Squarepants as options to watch this morning, my 2yo daughter insisted on @SimonWhistler instead So now she's watching Brain Blaze while informing me that "Simon funny"
