Mike's Writing Stuff

The next novel will be a romantic comedy... and it will be released by month's end. Can't wait! #WritingCommunity #wlw #books

@JaneCardillo That's a big "no thanks". Yikes....

@Wordsmith66 Ha! Here we'll get sunshine and 50kph northwest winds. #yeg

Goodbye winter and hello spring! Now, instead of dark rainy days, we'll get rainy days with 15% more light. #Vancouver

It's Nowruz, or Persian New Year. Best wishes to those who celebrate. (If you have friends or family in Iran, I'm hoping for their safety and well-being.)

Coming soon! A romantic comedy with that typical "girl meets girl whose rappelling line got stuck outside of her 12th floor window in the rain" story you've read 100 times. Okay, maybe 10. Fine, never. This is something new. Forget I brought it up. #WritingCommunity #wlw #WIP

@SheaVentris @JamesRoderickB I agree with the "it needs to evoke a feeling" message. Some variation of "The Ties That Bind" might be an idea for the double-meaning, coupled with a cover showing these binding ties are anything but comforting.

@JamesRoderickB Washington State. Abused young boy from Neah Bay in hospital and then fostered by my sister in Bellevue, twice. Handclapped, he is returned to Neah Bay (reservation), is loving and loved by some, abused by others. Fishes, Carves. Dies at age 32. Some say suicide, some say no way.

Has anyone come up with a process for creating your book titles? Is there some trick? I'm stuck on my next book title...

@Susan16Park One of the best lines ever spoken on TV: "Who are you? How did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith. And I'm a locksmith." (From "Police Squad" with Leslie Nielsen.)

My gf asked if training to be a locksmith would be worth it. I told her “Of course, that’ll open a lot of doors for you”

Abby Lunay is like Sherlock Holmes, aside from her gender, experience, age, location, name, no adherence to logic, ok, maybe she's nothing like Holmes, but there's a murder to solve, and she's on it. amazon.ca/dp/B0CLK5MDF2 #WritingCommunity #ShamelessSelfpromoFriday #writerslift

It's worth asking.

With the idiots running the show this isn't that implausible.

@kaiIeyyyy Well, you're both adorable so that's understandable. #LoveIsLove

And you know what, out of all 811 comments, not a single one has called us ugly LMAO

A lesson in the "cause and effect" principle at work.

American friends: Accurate?

If you need motivation to eat healthier and get more exercise, just think about how many future doctors may be using ChatGPT right now to pass medical school.

@Susan16Park Thanks - I like to stay 'current'.

I was once addicted to static electricity. Don't worry my parents grounded me until I learned to conduct myself properly. Shocking

BREAKING: The United States has threatened to drop their biggest bomb on Iran. B-52s are being loaded with DVDs of the Melania documentary.

If you're Canadian and are looking for a social media platform that A) doesn't send your data out of the country, B) isn't owned by an uber-rich idiot, and C) is Canada-only, then maybe check out "EH!". web.ehnow.ca/app

@mark_slapinski To be fair, they only say bias when the poll is *against* what they want. When they approve of a poll, suddenly it's a trusted and respected source. These are not serious people.

Conservatives are so dumb they think polling companies have a political bias. This is why education is important.

This appeals to my snarky and sarcastic humour.
