Just wrapped up revisions on chp 3 of book 3β€”what a difference! From 3,775 to 6,042 words. No fluff, just the intense depth this chp needs. Still need to do a read-aloud test, but wow, what a change! So happy right now. πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š #WritingCommunity #scifi #amwriting #fiction #book #books #booksky

Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority? *phone rings* I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."

I'm pleased to announce that Warship Ares, the 1st book of Captain's Fate, has been optioned for a movie! ...by me, in my dreams. You may now return to your regular social media. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #scifi #fiction #movie #announcement

If anyone wants to sponsor me, I'll gladly agree for... 1 million dollars!

Only about 900 words left to revise for chapter 3 book 3. Original work was around 3700 words. New version is currently at 4,600 words. Those last 900 will probably double, maybe triple. Yes, I under-write my rough drafts. πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š ##WritingCommunity #scifi #amwriting #edits #amediting #writing

Something I never thought I needed, but I need it.

This is a weird flex, since she left them because of reporting intgrity.

The universe is a beutiful place.

The Met Gala sure feels like a really posh Halloween party for the rich.

Another thing I learned today- I can do a pretty good job working as a basic plumber, but I don't like working as a plumber. Much respect to those that do.

I learned today that I don't like grinding my own coffee beans. β˜•οΈ #beans #coffee #grind

Watched Thuderbolts tonight. A good Marvel movie. Found a good balance between serious and comedy, rather than the goofy feel some have devolved into to. #Marvel #movie #movies

Someone's really interested in what I'm working on. Now if only I could get them to write a review. 😁 #WritingCommunity #booksky #amwriting #scifi #story #book #books #dog #dogpic #goodboy

New cover art! There is also a paperback version available for the first time. If you’ve heard of the author Kaden Love (his books are fantastic so if you havent, fix that), his wife Simona did the cover art. She was a dream to work with and captured the vibe of the book perfectly. a.co/d/aWSmhFf

The struggle is real.

In today's book 3 revisions, we are adding tension, drama, and danger! It's a good writing day. πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š #WritingCommunity #amwriting #edits #vook #books #fiction #scifi

Occasionally, in different types of reading, a character may be described as an 'Olympic-level athlete,' with no further details provided. What sport comes to mind when you hear this? I understand what it's supposed to conjure in your mind, but it's a pretty big field. πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š #WritingCommunity

I'm terrible at getting traction online and I have no idea how to go about getting people to care but just in case you missed it, I have a sale going on.

This is the best 100-day recap I’ve seen β€” and it begs the damn question: Why is his approval rating still 39%? Are folks in a coma?

100 DAYS...of lying, grifting, lawbreaking, division, incompetence, ignorance, illegal deportations, self-aggrandizement, vulgarity, self-pity, cruelty, ignoring the Supreme Court & due process while attacking: the Media, Universities, Law Firms, the Courts & Journalists. 1362 Days to go...

Delve Post 34! I'll admit, today's post was a challenge. Striking the right balance between action and description within a limited word count is tough. Hopefully, I managed to pull it off, and you’ll enjoy this next installment! πŸ’™πŸ“š #booksky #writingcommunity #amwriting #magic #fiction #story #free

Checked on the followers of my mail list. Got excited because I thought I had 1 spot left. Turns out I was reading the slash backwards. πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š #MailList #WritingCommunity #amwriting #scifi

If i don't # tag things, does someone still see it?

More so than when I'm writing the raw story, working on resivisions makes me FEEL like I'm making progress. πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š #WritingCommunity #amwriting

New people post: "I'm new! Don't know what I'm doing, but please say hi!" - Gets 5k likes, 20k followers. - They have no other posts or social media feeds. Me: "WTF?" I'm in my little social media corner today. πŸ€ͺ #bluesky #follow #likes #shares #socialmedia

We have now arrived at the "arresting judges" level of fascism.

The biggest thing I realize while working on revisions- how much I under-write my rough drafts. Anyone else have that quirk? πŸ’™πŸ“š πŸ’™ πŸͺπŸ“š #WritingCommunity #amwriting #fiction #book #books
