Have you ever read a really popular bestselling book and become really confused as to why it became so popular? #WritingCommunity

@arumi_writes So many times.

@SusanGreyWrites Same - I still have to hand write everything or I just stare at a blank screen.

I started writing before home computers were a thing. We didn’t even own a typewriter. So pen (learned the fading pencil lesson early) and paper were my jam. They still are. Pens/paper for creating, computer for editing work. You? #5amwritersclub #writersoftwitter

@helen__chester I haven't met any. Having a creative outlet for the trauma is probably the healthiest coping mechanism I've come up with.

Do writers exist that don’t have some kind of trauma?

It’s #FridayReads time! Let’s boost all signals and help put books in front of readers. RT this and let us know what to RT for you. I’m plugging this little monster because it’s 28% off and because I have to impress my new publisher. Share what you love! amazon.com/gp/aw/d/031642…

The weather is getting cold and I'm loving it. Planning winter and spring adventures and thinking about the back roads traveled this past year make my heart happy.

@Gabino_Iglesias I just found my winter reading list.

Love this and love the company! Long live libraries.🖤

@byMorganWright You are not alone - and companies seriously wonder why customers are so aggravated by the time we get to talk to a person...

Anyone else get frustrated by hold music🤪? I’ve been on hold for 10mins & the music is driving me crazy💀. If they keep me on hold much longer, I can no longer be held accountable for my actions &, as a result, they may have inadvertently jumpstarted the Apocalypse👀😂.

@Gabino_Iglesias That is a real conflict I face every damn day.

The urge to say “Fuck everything I have to do” and read all day...

I'm going to enjoy the last full official day of spooky season even though I know any store I visit today will already be transformed into a red & green glittering wonderland of Christmas consumerism. Spooky season will always be, just as long as we have we. (Thx Dr. Seuss🦇❤️)

Happy Halloween! Today is our day. Keep it dark and spooky. Dance in the woods at midnight. Scare your neighbors. Bathe in blood. Talk to ghosts. Howl at the moon. Transform into something different. Drink from the skulls of your enemies. Give out candy. Have fun. Stay awesome.

Reminder: Long live horror. Long live noir. Long live fantasy. Long live science fiction. Long live mystery. Long live romance. Long live bizarro. Long live poetry. Long live nonfiction. Long live everything that makes writers happy. Long live everything that makes readers happy.

@LMSalas1 Exactly.

I was recently told you can't have spooky season year round and when I responded 'why?' they couldn't come up with a good reason. I'm taking it as a challenge and will be slowly redecorating accordingly.

@TheBloggess Enjoy it but be careful what follows you home

Victor and I are currently on road to ghost hunt one of the “MOST HAUNTED LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD”. I am ghost obsessed. Victor doesn’t trust me unsupervised in abandoned buildings.

Bought a book I couldn’t believe I hadn’t read before. Halfway through I’m thinking it feels familiar. Just found another copy on my bookshelf.

@TheBloggess Trust me, you're not the only one who has done this. Because my TBR pile is so long I've literally bought 3 copies of a book that looks amazing. I've done this more than once. (Duplicate books make great gifts though!)

We all get depressed And sometimes feel stressed For reasons we’re really not sure. We all have to face The end of Life’s race The rich just the same as the poor. We all get great days That end in a blaze And days when we wonder ‘what for?’

@royvlcurves @MichelineMukon1 @dameandconfused If I remember right, all the kids & grandkids were left out to force them to make something of themselves rather than rely on family money.

@MichelineMukon1 @dameandconfused Someone claimed because of her “wild teen years”

@cmacwritescrime @wilmonreads Agreed - that was such a good one.

@wilmonreads Great list - thank you! I’ll add Elevation - Stephen King.
