I am guilty of this. And I know it wouldn't take that long... just another undone thing on the writer's laundry list of procrastination ð

Ditto. I've tried a new technique where I record voice-to-text as I'm describing my story to another person. It's a little rambling but it helped me see what stood out, and what they responded to. Keeping it under 300 words is tough, especially for fantasy or sci-fi.

It's just staggering to hear the laundry list of corruption. Republicans have chosen this autocracy. Hope they like the taste of a KFC-laced butthole.

..."We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds
in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check
that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice."

Ditto. Every morning when I hear the headlines on the radio, every night when the news sounds like a clip from "Idiocracy".

Only way I see that is by his untimely passing. Project 2025 is likely seeking ways to freeze his bloated corpse for later reanimation.

I always loved Campbell but this book cemented it. A great example of writing that captures the author's voice, loud and hilariously clear. His sequel bio with the fictional plot inserts was also fun.

ð Lol! I thought it was an abbreviation for a type of event. I think having any covering for shade/rain is a good idea. Bookmarks and business cards are always good as well. If people didn't buy but looked me up later, I'd take it as a small win.

It's like they were on a mission to NOT fit them in the box. I'm sure that is very frustrating, and infuriating.

What the what? So they want to distract them with strange intangibles fit for Narnia. Never mind the math...

I did an outdoor book signing in February, and do not recommend (I too live above the 45th parallel). But not sure what a Bok event is?

Still one of my favorite poets, Dickinson never disappoints ð

Apparently it's far more insidious for that book to sit on a shelf, tempting the ignorant to be... :gasp: educated.

This may be the most beautiful prose I've read by a living poet. A complete love story in as few lines...ððð

I'm sorry that happened. Those interactions are meant to silence us, and while it clearly didn't work, it's still unnerving. I've already had to block one even here on Bksky sadly.

If they remade Dr. Strangelove today, no one would think it was satire.

May I ask how often do you meet? Or is it less of formal meetings and more just a private group page?

I'm waiting for a lobbyist with big pharma to be pissed enough to perhaps tell Dump the anti-vaxer is hurting their stocks. Not because of the deaths or science, just the sting of $$$

"As long as it's not me", is followed by blissful ignorance. There's a saddening amount of dumb in America.

Spellcheck did not like "Liplaycious" instead of lipacious, which I previously had to add manually in the first place.

Certain phrases pop up across genres and trying to be unique while evocative is daunting. Thought I picked a fairly rare word, but there's a lot of books out there.

Economics is also in the fantasy section, anything military related is in the children's area.
