@SarahthePoetess @10wordspoet Happy Old New Year’s Day ✨ a little clock magic of the past

Wishing on a magical clock for time to stand still 📸 Gemini AI @10wordspoet #10wordspoet #ClockworkMagic #FrozenInTime

Today is #OldNewYearsDay 🗓️ The U.S. Colonies adopted our current calendar in 1752. This required a change in date & a loss of days. Sept. 2nd became Sept. 14th, skipping 11 days. Records during this time have 2 dates, including George Washington & Benjamin Franklin’s birthdays✨

i never sing more confidently than when i don’t know the lyrics

@RachelMoreaux ✨✨✨

@SheExclaimed Good Morning!

Good Morning ☀️

@R_R_Hutchinson I did a little googling…Walkers potato crisps are produced by Lay’s. Lay’s sells under the Lay’s brand in the US. I could buy Walkers through Amazon, but an individual bag is more than $20 US 😆

@SheExclaimed That's probably pretty close - the flavouring mix has a few different spices listed. You might enjoy them!

I love it when my wife walks in and chucks a treat on my desk without a word. Looking forward to trying these 😋

@john_durgavich I made it out, no worries 🙂 And also, thanks✨

@SheExclaimed I meant “Post it” whenever you think it’s ready. Autocorrect is evil.

i peeled a cucumber so fragrant it deserves a poem

@ToraBrinn Fantastic ✨

Got 12,000 words done in four days to start my total rewrite. Hoping for ~90,000 words total. The plot is starting off very strong. Is the enigma standing between a victim and a multi-billion-dollar criminal empire one of them, or is he protecting her from them? #Thriller

@john_durgavich I wrote a draft in free verse. I’m not satisfied. I’m considering changing the form and rewriting it in prose poetry.

@SheExclaimed Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

@CaptainRandom10 A Grand Adventure ✨ marvelous

@SheExclaimed I am a bit of both... Imagine a road trip from New York to Los Angeles...I would plot out the cities I wanted to visit (Pittsburgh, Nashville, Atlanta etc.) and then work out the route from one to the other as I write. And sometimes things come to me and I go on detours!

If you were asked to outline “How to write a novel,” how would you respond? #WritingCommunity #writerslife #amwriting

@Lyricsoftheda14 Provocative, so much commentary in this piece. But as a Southerner, it reminds me of the colloquialism bass-ackwards 😂

Never do anything ass- backwards #writingcommunity

@ccbolick So “How NOT to Write a Novel” 😂 It’s definitely difficult to revise a draft that’s poorly constructed. What not to do is exceedingly valuable.

@SheExclaimed I would write about all the things not to do

@CaptainRandom10 Wise ✨ I take it you’re a planner??

@SheExclaimed Get an idea, get a title, draft some characters, add milestones to direct the story, add set pieces that go in between the milestones....then write to fill in the blanks.

@R_R_Hutchinson The flavor profile sounds Mexican hot chocolate, which contains cacao and spices. I would like to try it.

@SheExclaimed I like them! The bag smells strongly of cocoa when opened, and that's the predominant flavour, with only a subtle hint of chilli on most of them. I've had some other sweet-ish ones before which I also liked, so no real surprise there 😄

i looked at the clock, it’s 5pm; i thought it was 3pm
