@stephenRB4 Easy peasy

Could you lie on a beach all day or do you get bored? 🏖️

@bourscheid Gross

Bro needs to retire from public and private life.

@glenn_tunes @wil5573 Might be Steven Miller day.

@wil5573 Thursday 👍is it a Bibi day or a Putin day 🤷

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO THE HELL IS RUNNING AMERICA TODAY 🤷

@ChrisC_Writes Write first. Edit later.

Thursday morning hot take: You don't need a "perfect" first draft; you need a finished one. Polishing a blank page is impossible. Get the story down, mess and all, and let the editing (and your beta readers!) handle the rest. Agree or disagree? #WritingCommunity

I’m working on a line and copy edit for a client today. It’s slow work but sharpening a story’s grammar, punctuation, and syntax helps it to flow so much better and allows your voice, as a writer, to be heard loud and clear. ✍🏻

@Helen_Fields Editors are so overworked these days they don't have time to edit.

Controversial opinion, but I think a lot of books being published these days are about 10% longer than they need to be.

@stephenRB4 A Prayer for Owen Meany

What’s the one novel you will never stop raving about to anyone who appears remotely interested? 📚

@JudexxBG Unfair? He's on a yacht in the south of France. Where are you?

Seeing Elton John like this is honestly heartbreaking… Life is fragile, and sometimes brutally unfair 😢

@worillessg Glad to hear it.

@pauldinaseditor People still do, Paul

Would you keep writing even if you have no publishing deals? I want to know. Or do you have one already?

@Halcyon270 I just blocked her. Too bad. I used to like her. Boycotting CNN now.

Dana Bash didn't waste a minute before blaming Rep. Raskin for his "heated rhetoric." Absolute intellectual sloth. We live in a nation wherein the sitting president inspires violent insurrection in 2021 and in 2026 threatens to annihilate a civilization. His party ignores it.

@PrincessBravato She is one of the reasons I am boycotting CNN

Dana Bash can go fuck herself talking stupid. Why is it ok for the president to have violent, inciteful rhetoric, but when something bad happens, she blames dems rhetoric, never trumps?!? This is why the press is failing us.

@WUTangKids Where is Melania?

This view of Trump falling 🤣

@stephenRB4 Jones Beach

What’s the best beach you’ve ever been on? 🏖️

@DNicholsAuthor Of course you must choose the right agent. But without an agent you have no access to trad publishers. So the concept that it's better to have no agent than a bad one is not good advice.

Remember, YOU are hiring the agent, not the other way around. They will be working for you, so be sure to interview them, ask questions, get referrals, be choosy. After all, it's better to have no agent than a bad one or one who isn't the right fit. #WritingCommunity

@stephenRB4 Yes. You need an agent if you want to get traditionally published.

Are literary agents still a thing? 📚

@ThrillaRilla369 Not in NYC.

Could you live well on $3,000 a month?

@Wolfofsteele Start by just taking a break. You might just change your mind.

So I have decided, after some deliberation, that after Briar Moon and the Wolfblight Saga spinoff is written, I shall be retiring from writing. The tears, money, disappointment and hard work just isn't worth it anymore.

@KeruboSk Protect yourself. You never know what the future will bring. If the house is not in your name you have no rights. If he doesn't marry you or put your name on the deed then don't trust him. Men can suck sometimes. I'm sure you know that.

My boyfriend and I are planning to buy a house together after dating for 3 years. He earns significantly more than I do, so he’d be contributing about 70% of the down payment. Because of that, he wants the house to be only in his name. He says it’s just “fair” based on the numbers, but we’d both be living there, splitting bills, and building a life together. I’ve been watching a lot of relationship content about equity vs equality, and it made me realize things don’t always have to be 50/50 but this feels like I’d have no security at all. He said if we ever broke up, he’d “do the right thing,” but that doesn’t really reassure me. My friends say don’t move in unless my name is on it. His friends apparently think I’m being entitled. Now I feel stuck between trusting him and protecting myself. Is this a red flag I’m trying too hard to rationalize?
