@SusanSavageLee1 @Hart_Horrors I am too, but I know the open and end...unless some pesky character forces a change :) PS - thanks for following this goofy account after my hacked one. I made another, new, verified account which will be the one I use. @SLChalmersbooks I will follow you there from now on.

@Hart_Horrors I’m a pantser, for the most part, as well

How long do you sit with an idea before writing it? I need the ending first, otherwise the middle will end up sagging like an old mattress 😂 #writingq #WritbgCommunity

@rdmortellwrites Two writers that produce more interesting work than the vast mass ~ ASTRAL LEAK @andersvane SPECTRAL BRAVER @TiagoRResende

I'm looking for a new indie fantasy book to read, any recommendations?

@Sara_Flower amazon.com/dp/B0FWZJCQJQ SCOTT'S TULSA In 1948 Tulsa, prostitute murders, blackmailer murders, and a murky communist conspiracy embroil a cynical PI in noir plots and Cold War intrigues.

🌷April 1st marks the first day of Indie April! Which means I’m looking to add a few #indie e-books to my Kindle this month. 🌷 Drop your book links below👇🩵

@SOOPLLC 3rd grade teacher - She said "You are inventive and wrote a very good story, but you need to spell better."

Who was the first person to ever read your writing, and what did they say?

@Miss_Lakewood Bizarre review. Strange GIRL reviews are in a different league. Still want my young Florida film critic to emerge!

@StephenCha45951 Strange review? Strange review? 😂😂😂

Tiago just posted this article on substack. Since he currently has no access to X he asked me to share. open.substack.com/pub/tiagorrese…

@AnthonyLaFauci Best series - 1st BBC Pride and Prejudice; Lonesome Dove; original BBC Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Best Film - 2001 (book was so-so) Worst - SO MANY! I don't want to begin that long list because it will piss me off again.

What are the best and worst film/series adaptations of books in your opinion?

@Miss_Lakewood I do not know. I suspect that one strange review will not impact readers.

@StephenCha45951 Thanks SL! I wonder if there's a way to report this person to Amazon and get his review removed?

@BrentMatley Yes. Real history, creative names, real geography, and a few inside jokes.

This is a question for writers: Do you sprinkle any hidden stuff in your books that readers don’t know about? For me - all my characters are named with real world meanings behind them. For example - Detective Angelo in Delusions of Euphoria. Angelo in Greek means ‘messenger of God’

@lhallwriter Besides SCOTT'S TULSA, SCOTT'S TULSA II is coming!

Indie Authors! Let's kick off Indie April by showcasing our awesome books. Drop your links below and I'll happily repost some 👇 😊

@DanNEO_SS "Hi sugar, are you rationed?" Are you going steady? 1940s slang.

Post an unusual expression, one most people may not know, and its meaning. "I kill the snake and show the stick." This means "I am brave; I don’t just talk, I act."

@motorcycles_4 SCOTT'S TULSA! Read it now before II. II IS COMING!

@yourpaperquest Sorry I missed you folks - just came to X a few months back. Good luck to all who worked for Indie Authors!

All good things must come to an end! For years we’ve been sharing our favorite indie authors with our subscribers, but unfortunately we have just sent out our very last boxes. It’s been an honor to be part of this wonderful community. 🧵

@ElChandler 1948 Tulsa. Wyatt Scott is a cynical PI dealing with Cold War mysteries and noir characters from the dark side of Tulsa.

For writers: where is your main character from?

@Miss_Lakewood @TiagoRResende Tough few weeks for indie writers dealing with X

Hey my fellow bookworms I'm in close contact with @TiagoRResende who is temporarily suspended from X. Apparently this person dropped a fake review for personal reasons against Tiago. Please check out these screenshots. Really sad. 🫤

Hey ELON MUSK! Now that you are in the book business, try a little noir mystery/thriller with a side of Cold War commie conspiracy. In 1948, Wyatt Scott and his cohorts are waiting. SCOTT’S TULSA is just the FIRST of 4 books from the summer of 1948 and the dark side of Tulsa.

@Miss_Lakewood "see" her eyes.... Without a mirror, not possible. Not too sure about the cave's eyes, but if XXXX needs to view them, "XXXX lingered (stared, gaped, etc) at the cave's hollows (or eyes if that has a future bearing on the story).

She slid off her horse, her eyes scanning the openings above. “Deserted doesn’t mean safe,” she said. Her voice was steady, but [name] could see the way her eyes lingered on the shadowed hollows of the cave’s eyes. —excerpt from anonymous book "Deserted doesn't mean safe"? Really? 🙄🙄🙄

@DanNEO_SS Wow! Good job, Dan. Just don't forget we peon supporters and less glorified indie authors.

Wow. Someone pinch me! I can't believe it, guys. It never crossed my mind that something like this could happen to me. 🥲 Well, if you still have doubts about what happened, check your calendar! Good morning and good luck!

@elonmusk You do the same! Have your X people give me my SLChalmers @WyattScott1948 account back!
