If it’s okay, it should be okay for everyone. If it’s not okay, it should never be okay for anyone. If it’s okay for people I like, but not okay for people I don’t like, what does that make me?

Convince me to read your book with a cover

Shouldn’t there be a fine for waiting too long to notice that the light has changed when you’re the first car in line?

I do enjoy a good sunrise. Too bad they don’t last very long.

Have you noticed that getting your name right the first time you’re asked is responded to with either “awesome” or “perfect”?

I think we should each take a ‘just in case’ photo (not smiling, not looking happy) to be broadcast if we are murdered, kidnapped, or accused of a crime.

When somebody says, “This is what they don’t want you to know.” I go to work to find out 1) Is it even a thing 2) Whoever ‘they’ are, do they even care if I know

The 2nd or 3rd time I got an offer from a reading club to feature a book I had neither written nor read, I gave this response. “Your shotgun misfired.

Did you ever wish they gave tickets for being the first one in line and not paying attention when the light changes to green?

When I write about a smell, I’m making it up. I’ve never been able to smell anything. Neither could my grandfather.

I remember a friend telling me about traveling through the southern United States with a bumper sticker reading: Eschew Obfuscation. He said he was often stopped by police who thought it might be obscene.

@LindenmuthWendi The alternative to reinforcing what you already believe is questioning it. If you’re not afraid to do that, you also have to be willing to change your mind.

Will you always find evidence for what you choose to believe? What do you think about this?🤔

@disneymom1126 Most people think of themselves as unlike anyone else, so it’s hard to find someone who knows they’re like anyone.

I just need someone like anyone right now

@SusanSavageLee1 I’m going to go with Boo Radley not so much because I relate to him but because he turned out to be very different from what the kids thought about him.

Which fictional character do you relate to the most? For me, it’s Astrid in White Oleander #readingcommunity #WritingCommunity

@SusanSavageLee1 It’s possibly due to a zinc deficiency in childhood but can’t be corrected by taking zinc now.

@JohnSheldon43 You’ve never had a sense of smell? That’s wild

Do you prefer physical books, ebooks, or audiobooks—and why? I love physical books—the way they smell and feel. It’s part of the reading experience for me #readingcommunity #WritingCommunity

@L_Eve_Gale I retired after 30+ years writing software. I’ve earned the privilege of writing in English.

I envy writers who can afford to write a book all day long! How did you achieve such mastery?

@AuthorGoodwin Because you say you have doubts, I would expect you to correct anything you have doubts about. That means you care about quality. Maybe he’s really not that much better than you after all.

I read my stuff...I have doubts...then I read a book by a "Sunday Times best selling author", and I think to myself. "This guy has sold shed loads, but actually, he ain't really much better than me." Maybe I'm just biased...

While checking in for a medical visit, the receptionist asked my birthday, looked at me, and took 10 years off the answer I had given her. How’s that for a compliment?

@talishammas I prefer Pic 2.

Before I make my big announcement, I just want to make sure I made the right choice. Pic 1 or pic 2?

I will keep trying until I finally manage to read all the way to the end of Fox in Socks without any mistakes.
