I’m writing a fantasy novel launching Spring 2026! Dragons. Time bending magic. Reluctant heroes tip toeing the line between right and wrong. Follow along as I try to figure this all out. Hint: I have no idea what I’m doing 🫠 #WritingCommunity #fantasy #writersoftwitter

@jzpitts It’s sad it needs to be said but glad you’re saying it.

I very rarely use strong language. Today I feel it’s appropriate. If you are, in any way, happy or celebrating Charlie Kirk’s shooting, whether in private or not, fuck off and don’t ever interact with me again you vile piece of shit.

@RynTerra Hopefully. Time to buckle down and get to it for me!

@PatricksQuill But you got this 🪶

Revision is hard.

@NikoleCallihan 69° nighttime. 75° daytime.

The A/C wars! What is the correct temperature for the a/c to be set at home? And why are grocery stores so cold! 🥶 The correct answer is: 82°F / 27°C

@whataimeereads_ Yes all the time!

When writing their first drafts, does anyone else do this... **add something snazzy in here** Reminding you to come back to it later because you've hit a road block, or is it just me? 😂😬

@elchandler Yes! As close to a requirement as it gets!

Writing is such a mental relief for me! Helps me work through things in my life ❤️❤️

@jzpitts Can you have them do some type of activity that they are passionate about during said introspection?

How do you write a scene that’s purely introspective, without killing the pace of the story?

@LindaMeadWrites Yes I’ve been there too. 😔

@PatricksQuill I had an email that never received spam and then one day I gave my email address to a survey service. Dumbest mistake I've ever made.

I get like 10X the amount of spam emails as I did even just a year ago. Is it time for government intervention? Is it even possible to regulate?

@TheaLanden Lucky! I have rare in-person meetings today. 🤢

Zooming from home today...but not without my coffee! Good morning!

@MrRPLewis Yeah I guess it’s just a dream. Or perhaps more sophisticated spam filters are all that are needed.

@PatricksQuill I don't see how it would be possible to regulate when anyone can stand up a physical server (with a dozen or more virtual servers riding on it) on a single box in their apartment.

@PontistGirl I pull mine out 🫢

Men really need to embrace that little grey in their beard. 🔥

@KyleOwe02309720 I’ll bring a couple flotation devices in case your ark building skills are a little rusty.

It's raining again in the Appalachian Mountains. I'm going to go ahead and start building an ark. I need two of everything silly. I've got two balloons, and a stretched hula hoop due to a tug of war by the boys at mom's daycare. Anybody else got anything silly to add? 😂

@L_Eve_Gale I know haha. Don’t tell anyone that I’m serious in real life 😅

@PatricksQuill wow! this is serious!

Writer, what's your actual job?

@TheaLanden 😂😂😂

I bet the baby would taste better if she brined it for a while before breading

I was just forwarded an email from a big client for the day job, and they're now specifying "no AI" 😎

Holidays are great, but coming back to 150+ emails… not so much

Pledge your sword to her like the knights of old — or leave her alone. ⚔️

Today I’m really going wild. Made myself a cappuccino instead of a latte.
