@KWBussard_ Sincerest sympathy upon your loss. 💐

I'm at a loss for words this morning. My nephew(22) had so much more talent to show the world, but lost his battle with his demons last night.

@brclothwrites Why couldn't there be? We are still babies in understanding the universe.

Do you believe that intelligent extraterrestrial life is out there in the universe? There has to be, right?

@StoryGrid Do the first draft by longhand and don't let the misspellings or grammar get in your way. Let the flow and rhythm of the words out as they come. Wild and uninhabited.

What is the single best piece of writing advice you have ever heard?

@fiorea25 I chose that one too. I had a dripping sink once, and it kept me from sleeping. 🤣

@TheRetSchLib Clock

@Sweetgrass_Kid 😂🤣😅 It is truly horrible.

@TheRetSchLib Glitter is the sperm of Satan.

@GaryBryant_64 I’ve always preferred books under 350 pages with a 12 point font. Longer? I’d rather read a sequel. My attention span is not what it used to be.

What is the ideal length of a book? How many words? How many pages?

@stephenRB4 I’m in Ohio, USA. The weather is slowly turning from summer to fall. 🌞🍂🍁

Good Morning from Northern Ireland. Where in the world are you today? 🌎

@brclothwrites Mine is 🍫.

I’m breaking my diet this weekend for a cheat day. What should I splurge my calories on???

@mariana057 Monk!

You're in labor, and your delivery team is from the last tv show you watched! Who's delivering your baby???

@klhicks912 I write by hand, and then, I type it in Word.

Where do you prefer to write?

@Matt_Pinner Betsy, Edith, Alice, Pearl, Madeline, Elizabeth, Jane, Betty

Can someone suggest a super old-fashioned girl name Not Ruth

@brclothwrites As long as the tats are not offensive, I would not care how the person looked.

Your child's new 3rd grade teacher has tattoos all down their arm and purple hair. Your immediate reaction?

@brclothwrites I remember a college friend trying to teach me in an empty parking lot. After several fails, I told her, "Look, if I break your car, I don't have any money to replace your clutch." The lesson immediately ended. I technically know how to drive a stick shift but cannot to it.😁

Can anyone here drive stick shift? HOW? I think it's imposible! 🚕

@brclothwrites Hope you had a wonderful day. I tell myself that it's excitement instead of nervousness, and surprisingly, this seems to calm myself down a bit. 💖😁

Good morning! Off to set up my classroom in the new school with a new co-teacher in a new district. Are you nervous too on the “first day” of a new job?

@brclothwrites I’ve worked with several narcissists and one sociopath.

Have you ever dealt with an actual narcissist or sociopath?

@StoniAstley She was right; the doctor WAS a quack after all.

You’re allowed one sentence on your tombstone, nothing else. What will that sentence likely be? Your final message to all who pass by you.

@JoeFarl25256764 I understand. 😁

@Kristen_Painter I put my children’s book recommendations on it which shows up on our public library’s online catalog. I also use it to see some of the new books I would like to read.

None of the authors I know spend any time on Goodreads, including me.

@caroscottcolli I checked on Google, and you are right. There are so many holidays now, aren't there? 😁

@TheRetSchLib I’ve seen several posts that it’s World Left-handers day.
