on the beach with sand between my toes breathing in breathing out hot sun beating down... Where are you? #WritingCommunity #poetrycommunity #summer

@KreiderSharon I like thinking about sources of inspiration, characters, things that would go or would not go into the books, query experiments.

I'm wondering how to create something different besides asking question after question and would appreciate your thoughts as to what inspires you to respond or engage. Thank you ahead of time. #WritingCommunity #authorscommunity #writerslife

@deanpb_author historical fiction

If you could only read and watch one genre what would it be? I’d have to choose fantasy

I'm not meant for this marketing world. It is a game I do not enjoy playing.

@disneymom1126 yes

I’m curious should an author promote a book before it’s finished To build its fan base?

I'll be honest - I was worried about releasing a shorter book. But lately I've been hearing a lot of readers liking shorter reads. And I've seen trends in that direction. Thoughts?

What do you think is the ideal word count for a novel? 75,000 - 90,000? #WritingCommunity

@ClaireLLLW81 mostly during the process

Do you decide the fate of your characters from the beginning, or does it occur during the writing process?

@lhallwriter It'll get better 😂.

If you could go back 20 years and tell your younger self something, what would it be?

Writers, what social media app do you think is the best for building an author platform? #WritingCommunity #authors #writers

What word games do you like to play? Mine are Wordle, Connections, and Strands. #WritingCommunity #writersoftwitter #authors

Are all the authors just asking question after question, but not actually sharing information or just talking, are they bots? Because the vast majority of authors that post a lot, are just asking inane, meaningless questions. Anybody?

@nickbailey317 Ha, ha! Agree! It sure gets monotonous, doesn't it?

@Nickyshearsby22 Unfortunately, reviews matter, but I favor the sincere reviews from readers especially those that reach out to me personally. Yesterday I received such a positive review via my website email. It made my day!

The more I write, the less reviews I seem to get. Is the universe trying to tell me something, or are reviews even important? 🤔 How much importance do you place on reviews?

@Nickyshearsby22 Looks lovely 😃

It's warm enough for outside dining 😃😃😃😃😃😃

@brclothwrites Me too

Did you go to your high school prom? I did. ⚠️🥴😂

@PichaelMarkes Good if well-executed!

What are your thoughts on flashbacks in books? Helpful if well-executed? Distracting? #Flashbacks

A friend said, "The American Dream is leaving America!" Your thoughts? #WritingCommunity #authors

@Nickyshearsby22 once or twice a week

I've gone from posting daily, to posting a handful of times a week, and I couldn't be happier. Our socials can absorb so much of our time that we forget about the real world. How often do you update your social media?
