@KupcakeProse "If you're talking about writing, you're not writing."

What is the number one most useful tip anyone has ever given you about writing? #WritingCommunity

@alas_not_me @rob_heighton Made it past the login screen (look up above where it's asking you to log in again). But, um. It's. Not okay.

What the hell has happened to the OED website

@TL_Coughlin Hi!

This app has been a mess for me lately and I feel like I’m seeing less of the #writingcommunity! If you’re a writer, author, an #amquerying or #onsub hopeful, a book blogger, or part of the industry, drop a “hi”. I’d love to follow and connect! 🥰

@LakotaMan1 99%, yes. I am lucky to have met some who mean, "With humility, I try every day to serve my loneliest, coldest, hungriest neighbor."

So, nowadays, when someone tells me that they’re “Christian” — I just take it as code that they’re actually judgmental, hypocritical assholes. Agree?

@sarahjeanm What book of wisdom is this? or collection of wise words? or song within your heart?

The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice.

Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.

@elanorbanks Finish?

Am I still a writer if I haven't written a word since Jan but I think about my novel every day? What's the longest you've taken a hiatus from a project and still gone on to finish it? #WritingCommunity #amnotwriting

@SorinaHiggins They're playing tag with me! Everybody wins! (Max responded to the fact that a training treat was coming. Had to drop the Thing to get the treat. Now, as long asthere *might* be a treat, he drops the Thing. Shroedinger 's Treat.)

This cutie loves to play Frisbee but hasn't yet grasped the concept of "drop it," which has led to many amusing scenarios involving two clumsy humans hopelessly chasing the spry young thing around the yard.

@arnorionforgil @SignumU @jtauber has great SPACE classes on Tolkien's invented languages. Minors can't be in SPACE classes, but they sure can be sittin' next to Papa...

My child just asked me to teach her the elvish language. I told her I only know bits and pieces of Sindarin. Without missing a beat she asks if @SignumU has a class on that. #nerdparenting, #parentingwin

@LakotaMan1 I love this statement of Truth.

So, SOME white people say this “offends” them. Asking my absolutely wonderful white allies — are you offended by this?

@PR_Rybeck "Red Sox!"

@hobbit_botherer Tell!

@Katherine_Sas @BrentonDana @gwjschenk @DigitalTolkien @neilhimself @SignumU @tolkienprof @DoctaLectrix @jtauber @AranelParmadil 100% loved that Professor Swank was too hot to wear a mortarboard so she used the zoom "put a hat on me" feature.

@EliseCedeno @HannahAitch Nothing amazing, just any slipper or sock pattern you like and hold eyelash yarn together with the main yarn as you knit across the instep side of the toes!

@HannahAitch My friend @LFSAlden has a hobbit slipper pattern

@PauleneTurner I only read the reviews of people I know either personally or online after a couple of years. Otherwise... who knows who is a marketer/paid to say whatever they said?

Do you read book reviews on Goodreads? Do they influence your decision to buy? If yes, how do you assess the review? Do you look for a particular score? Read the detail? Pay attention to 1 star ratings? What’s your process? #WritingCommmunity #amwriting #bookreview #amreading

@LukeBShelton And, like many things, it surely is not a black and white binary.

Okay, here is a poll for fun: do you enjoy fantasy, science fiction, or both? I often feel like marketing/publishing will pigeon hole fans into one or the other, but personally I enjoy both! How about you? Feel free to clarify in comments! RT for a wider range of answers!

@SorinaHiggins @BrentonDana @sarahjeanm Oh, keep reading, my friend. Just. Keep. Reading.

@BrentonDana @sarahjeanm I've started reading Discworld for the first time! THE COLOR OF MAGIC is delightful. I'm grateful to all of you who recommended it. Anything that can make me laugh right now is truly magical.

@SorinaHiggins @DigitalTolkien And published scholarly articles on the basis of such a one-month reading!

@DigitalTolkien Wow, you read ALL of Tolkien's works multiple times in a MONTH? Amazing!!

Apparently I'm a "YouTube scholar" who's only spent a month reading Tolkien.

Have you ever seen an eagle grab a fish and eat live in mid air.
