You can now announce your project for NaNoWriMo 2021! Not quite sure what you're writing yet? Fear not, there is a long and storied (see what I did there) tradition of naming your project something like "Give This A Good Title Later." Let's go! nanowrimo.org/dashboard?addP…

I probably can't commit to the usual #nanowrimo2021 50,000 words goal in November. I'm considering doing one ~4000-word short story per week & maybe some flashes instead. Has anyone else ever broken the law but not the spirit of the event? Suggestions & writing partners welcome

We’re looking to pair each published story with an original piece of art created just for that story (no stock photos for us!) Looking for interested artists! Tell a friend. Pass it on. 🐸🎨 #artists #visualartists #graphicartists

It's hard to become a bestseller with one book. Plan for a series, then the next, and the next. The goal is to earn a few more fans and make a little more $ with each book. Then you have more resources to put into new launches and are more likely to have a hit down the road.

The ground rumbles. We run inside & stand at the window. It’s #rare for our planet to vent its magic in winter. Just as the light of excess enchantment bursts from the ground, snow begins to fall. They meet, hot magic & cold flakes, sizzling & sparking with lethal beauty.#vss365

He’s been in every 1st draft I’ve produced. An old #curmudgeon, blocking the plot with his incessant moaning. But not this time. “You don’t need me now,” he said at my book launch. Then he #released my hand & walked away, leaving no footprints in the snow. #vss365 #vsschristmas

Start the day right. Look in the mirror and see the champion you are. If you can't do that, then just feel it inside. What ever you're up against, fight it with all you got. Burn bright. Roar loud. Move forward. I know it's hard. Be strong. Be you. Much love to you all!

The #cunning witch makes jam with poison berries and feeds it to her foe. Grinds the bones of ex lovers to make paper for her poem. She writes their obituaries then burns them in the fire. #vss365 #vssnature

"Why are we stopped?" said Capt Wonder as he entered the bridge. His feet crunched on mirror shards & salt. "The USS Black Cat just crossed our path," Lt. Vaughan replied, avoiding a ladder. Wonder crossed his fingers & idly knocked on the USS #Superstition's wood rail. #vss365

"I don't know, man. I think we need someone with real #translational skills." "Nah, Google's got it. Let me just enter the title of the book real quick . . ." "Yeah, but, dude, that thing's bound in human skin." "There! Google says Necronomicon means Book of the Dead" #vss365
