Decided to embrace modern times, I have a great set of pens, five fantastic computers. But I never became particular over my keyboard...I am now building my own. Starting with a 3d printed base.

@kagan_tumer Fantastic idea, why did I not think of that? 😢

@JamesAllenAuth I use pen and paper to sketch a scene before writing it. Makes it easier to see if it flows right. usually it's 2-3 notebook pages and has the setting, key plot points, and character bits, but no dialog or descriptions. It takes 5-10 minutes, but saves a ton of rewriting.

Who uses pen and paper these days? I try to but always end up gravitating towards the PC. I like writing on paper because it paces my thoughts, and shows my mistakes. However, it's much slower and tends to be less convenient. Anyone else thought about this?

@MelissMendelson Sounds like a scam to me. No publisher I have heard off charges their authors.

@JessicaCGregory Won Lottery, no ticket.

Tell me a sad story in four words. Go!

@geostylegeo Halloumi - never looked back! 😀

@SenlisHasWings Yes a Bengal, he seems to love water so much he joins me in the shower. A very affectionate cat, not the brightest sadly, but loyal.😸

@JamesAllenAuth Well hello Morty. Aren’t you a pretty Bengal?

Everyone needs a helper when writing a book. This is Morty, he loves keyboards almost a much as tuna.

@eric5310pub Predictable story lines and flat characters, give me something new...like the dragon that collects straw not gold or the super AI that's actually trying to help the human race not wipe them out.

@DzintraSullivan An excellent place if your looking for Hawaiian Witchcraft meets aircraft ground signal. An ex beach fire house repainted in a cheerfull colours that can lighten anyone's day. Sunglasses essential when viewing.

You're putting this house on the market. How do you describe it without using the word pink or barbie? #ZeesChallenge

@writingiswar All hail the beer 🍺 teacher, lover - giver of hangovers.

@_katieconwell_ Just discovered the Die Hard film collection...classic cinema 😀

This pic is good at reminding me that cats have sharp teeth. Despite being cute they are hunters.

@VickyBall3 My Writing is influenced by the story I have, I tend to take a flash of inspiration and turn it into 60,000 words. The genre comes by itself I don't force it. So I am writing a thriller, with the same main character planning a horror having self-published a literary fiction.😀

How did you choose your genre or did your genre choose you? I started one story that intended to be romance but it got darker.

@realeverywriter Yes, but it will take lots of hard work...even if that pays off a little luck would also help greatly. 😀

Do you think being able to write full time and make a living from writing would give you your dream life/schedule?

@Want2game Not really, I am one of those rare people not of Facebook. Though what's app being down did cause a stir as I care for my father, he was miffed.😀

This little guy (or girl) was given to me by work, if you were to make him a character in a book what would be her/his agency? #writers #WritingCommunity #writerscommunity

@klhicks912 Yes! Although not everyone's approach it suits me. Plus I had the option of choosing the name I self publish under. Just as important as book title IMO.

Do you write under a pen name?
