I bet the little dialog actions would be more dynamic if the characters were disarming a bomb while having this conversation. #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

The people who created the tools and circumstances that made the HUD video possible are going to the Bad Place.

Starting a conversation with a stranger is awkward, especially if you think they're the bad guy and aren't allowed to find out they aren't at this juncture. #5amWritingClub #WritingCommunity

"Marginalized people have money too and we want them to spend it on our stuff." The business case for DEI takes no effort at all.

America has been a superpower for barely a century yet we're all convinced that's the natural order even though fucking Portugal (no disrespect) had a longer imperial run back in the day.

I should keep a list of all the bullshit words I make up trying to finish Spelling Bee. Should be useful when I'm writing SFF. #WritingCommunity

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it. Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on. Making this my pinned post.

Right. What were you characters up to again? #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

I have never once stepped foot in Costco but I just signed up for the rare opportunity to materially support good corporate behavior. Also, I hear the hot dogs are nice.

Are you feeling like screaming into a pillow for 1000 years? If you have the means, the Trans Youth Emergency Project is giving direct grants to families of trans kids. southernequality.org/tyep/

I can't remember how this character talked in chapter 1 so I should probably review that. OR if I get it wrong now I could just say his earlier speech pattern was part of his disguise! #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

I hate that it's even possible for this sentence to exist.

I'm using adverbs and there's literally nothing you can do to stop me! #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

I shouldn't be able to turn my head without this seeing this exact statement from a prominent Democrat.

The Democrats would do well to make the story about Republican cuts to air traffic safety before the Republicans find a "DEI hire" to blame for the crash.

But it's so early in the morning for a big reveal! #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

If Democratic politicians can't stomach a moral or legal objection, they could at least demand to know how we're going to pay for a new concentration camp in Cuba.

Anyone recommend a labeler that keeps me from seeing that fucking guy's fucking face on here against my will?

I hope no characters need names today. I'd really like to advance the plot a bit. #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

Maybe the real irony is the friends we made along the way. #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

What if DeepSeek isn't a Sputnik moment so much as proof that U.S. companies shouldn't have assumed an occasionally neat party trick would be worth trillions?

Oh look. It's time to introduce the snake people. #5amWritersClub

In The Wild Robot, Peter Brown creates something I thought could not exist: a goose that I don't want dead.

Those aren't plot holes. I'm aerating the manuscript to improve the nose and bring the flavors forward! #5amWritersClub #WritingCommunity

Really needed this from Rise Against this morning!

It's the first draft and I can fix repetition later. It's the first draft and I can fix repetition later. It's the first draft and I can fix repetition later. #5amWritingClub #WritingCommunity

Nothing like a little identity theft to get Wednesday started! I'm not sure this Internet thing is working out.

Time for one of our heroes to begin suspecting that things aren't right. But first, where can a protagonist get a decent breakfast in this fantasy town? #5amWritingClub

Were I on the board of directors for a publicly traded company (e.g. Tesla, SpaceX, etc.), I would probably feel compelled to take some sort of action if the CEO threw up a Nazi salute on national TV. This is probably among the many reasons I'm stuck working for a living.

The shadow president threw up a literal Nazi salute and the literal president pardoned a cabal of literal traitors. I don't want to hear one more word about common ground.

Odium reigns, but Honor will never die so long as it lives within us.

There any major norms to #BookSky beyond posting about books and not acting like a jerk?

Starting a new chapter today! How far in will I get before I remember this POV character takes things a lot less seriously? #5amWritersClub

I showed up for the first day of sixth grade at a new school wearing sweatpants and a bowl cut. Things didn't go well. But even that version of me would rather die than be seen at the lunch table with any of these dipshits.

It feels too obvious that my proganonii are dupes here, but of course I'm the one who made them dupes. I suppose this is what readers are for. #5amWritersClub
