Bethany Perry is querying Mortally Coiled

Anybody else do this? #UnhingedPit #q #t

@king_reinhardt I wrote in a friend but it was based on a very specific photo from a party lol. I often use a little bit here and there

Do authors actually write people they know into their works? I've never done it myself! I've given my characters interesting traits I've come across in real people, yes, but I've never written the actual person as a character! 🤔

@TheaLanden @SirArminius What I didn't like about Atticus was barely any customization. For physical copies I can add the font I want and use it for chapter titles & drop caps, and something else for headers & page numbers. I like to match the cover font to the chapter title/drop cap font

@SirArminius I still use Word for just about everything, including ebook formatting. I did get Atticus last year, which I've gradually been using for paperbacks, but I can practically format for Kindle in Word in my sleep at this point, so I haven't switched over yet.

Authors - I have been using Word to write my book because it is familiar and easy. What do you use? Should I switch or is it a case of if it ain't broke, don't fix it? #writingcommunity #indieauthors

@astro_jaz Listen, hearing everyone say "go" got me started crying and I didn't stop until about 5 minutes ago lol

this is like apollo for all of us who weren’t alive during the actual apollo missions

My name is on there!

We're going to the moon!!

@sherriontherock No more nervous than a normal rocket launch. We've had so many missions since then to learn and grow.

Anyone else who experienced the Challenger explosion feeling a bit nervous about this monumental launch?

The Artemis II astronauts, now suited up for launch, are headed to the launch pad. The crew includes NASA astronauts @Astro_Reid, @AstroVicGlover, and @Astro_Christina, and @CSA_ASC astronaut @Astro_Jeremy.

@Aella_Girl Came home in the dark one night and as I got out the house key, rattling started from the doormat. Screamed and ran. I felt bad later all I did was scream but it alerted my kiddo & fiance to the danger almost as quickly as the rattle. We were all fine, snake slithered away.

Women's ability to scream is actually extremely important. Once at 2am in istanbul I got stalked down deserted alleyways. I tried to run but he followed me; in a dead end i turned around, he was lunging at me, and something primal and ancient took over; i screamed with a scream I didn't know i was capable of. I was not conscious of it, it was like I was possessed, it was ear-splitting. The guy stuttered to a halt, and everybody in the near vicinity buildings woke up. He bolted away, and all the neighbors came out to try to help. It was really cool to find out my body came installed with alarm hardware that I'd never before had cause to get activated. It was effective! It possibly saved my life!

I continue to say: Everything FUCKING RAD you've loved your ENTIRE LIFE, was created before Ai existed. It is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it.

tomorrow, this crew will travel farther in space than any humans have ever done and they’ll be returning to the moon for the first time in over half a century. entirely new generations will witness humanity going to the moon. we should be talking more about this.

@ChefReactions Same lmao. Now I like my peach ginger tumeric tea with a little local honey (to help with allergies)

Some days you can’t love social media enough. This is one of those days. It began like this. Someone stole 12 tons of KitKats. And then the replies started coming in. Scroll down.

@GodsFossil @iloveairbagged @Cromwelp My exact thoughts

@iloveairbagged @Cromwelp It's just word vomit pretending it's intelligent

Project Hail Mary has beaten the “Reddit chungus” allegations

@AuthorJFuller I just rewatched Dept. Q on Netflix. Just so good

I got Netflix, Disney and Prime... what's everyone watching right now? What's good?

@SDDonovan Haha I misread the question. 4 out of 5 of the ones I've published were made by @mxcarmilla !

@SDDonovan Unsplash, pixabay, and pexels for free pics, and Canva to build what I want. I don't publish with those but you could if it was a good enough cover. Here's one I made a while back I think would probably be good enough.

Real question... Who do you guys use to make your covers? Or maybe good sites for premades? I have an idea for what I want, but I can't seem to find any premades that are similar.

Dear Millennial Little Sisters, As you approach perimenopause, please reach out to us because our moms didn’t tell us shit either but we’ve been yelling at doctors for 15 years and found out some stuff. xoxo - Gen X

Now I know how my grandpa felt about cars, airplanes, and microwaves.

@bluewmist Salon-quality shampoo and conditioner. The price difference from Walmart or Target or whatever to an actual salon definitely qualifies as offensive, but the quality difference is unquestionable. I can't go back.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@Advil My pleasure! If you go, I hope you love it!

@bperry_writes wow, i’ve never heard of this place! a huge thanks for the suggestion as i absolutely love arizona
