@jobygunner1987 Thanks! Would love to hear any thoughts. What's the best way to get you a PDF of the chapters?

@Real_NickDorsey I’d love to read a few chapters, but not to tell you how to improve, just simply because that concept sounds awesome

@jobygunner1987 Hello! I'm not that active, more a lurker. I've admired your work and advocacy. I'm writing a novel inspired by the kingdom of Great Zimbabwe-a few kids travel to meet with a king. Would you be able to read a few chapters and telling me what I could improve?

@BubbleyBrain Some mermaids have index thumbs, though

And you want to know what extra irks me about this especially...? They claim it's a graphic novel. A whole frikkin' graphic novel of AI ART!!! And they make money on this!

@TBLaunchPad Hello! Is the contest closed? I'm getting. 404 error

@BubbleyBrain @TIFF_NET Comically inept.

In all fairness, my THIN novel would make for a thoughtful, inexpensive and inclusive movie and would do great in front of the @TIFF_NET crowd. Now if only this was legit. #writingcommunity

@BElizabeth0 @CKnightWrites I don't know. If I'm going to see a trash B movie, this is the kind of trash B movie I want

You need beta readers and/or an editor to make sure the characters in your book don't turn the wrong way to gape at the fucking tornado. Don't let this be the image in your readers' minds.

@BubbleyBrain What

I have a rule: something goes wrong in the first 24 hours of a trip. This time, I abandoned my work laptop. Still not as bad as when the machine ate all my underwear ...and only my underwear.... (really)

@BubbleyBrain I just go with poison. That way I know for sure it's cancerous

Me: *Trying to kill the silverfish with diatomaceous earth* Also me: *Googling if it causes cancer after spraying it everywhere* 🙃

@BubbleyBrain Oh no wait please read this one.pdf

Editing my Beautiful Dreamer novel is cathartic. I know a lot of the #writingcommunity hate doing it, but I usually rewrite chapter 1, move a bunch of chapters around, add in depth when needed, and ax my prose... all without making a finaldraft_I_swear_308.docx.

@hologrammatical @BubbleyBrain This is the best ad for Horselover's Apprentice I've ever seen

@BubbleyBrain Are you trying to tell me that THE HORSELOVER'S APPRENTICE is not good? Have you even read the 14-page description of the apple pie they shared? Have you not understood the gentle undertones of divorce when the horse says "I am getting divorced" ???

What can I say to irk the #writingcommunity today? Hmm... Oh! Getting a Big 5 contract with big $ doesn't prove the work is "well-written" or "new." It's something publishers think they can market easily. So, if you see people get big $ contracts, their writing might be crap.
