Do you long to write fascinating fiction, but struggle to find a concept that feels worthy?
Do you have piles of unfinished stories, and eagerly await the next shiny new idea?
Do you have writer friends to inflict assistance/benevolent torment on?
Good news!

Good Morning! I’m gonna strand the evil wizards in San Francisco. They’ll make excellent street performers whether they want to or not.

Hey #WritingCommunity , where on Earth would you strand a pair of evil wizards who've had their magic stolen? Not necessarily to kill them straight out; more for scraping by in an unpleasantly mundane way.

Nothing like writing "mortal" instead of "mortar."
Yes, I did say that a god of sorts lives here, but there were NO souls used in the construction process.

I must have missed it; what's the little green "A" on my profile? Is that the new system for ranking non-bot/scammer trustworthiness?

Sorry for going on about the cover art contest so much, but it's exciting! I entered once before and didn't get this high.

I made it to Round Three! Very exciting! I might not reach Round Four, since only the top 24 will pass, but here's hoping. (Care to vote again?? You can vote in each round.)

The List: "Consider: do catfish have fur?"
Me: "..."

Writer life: making a note of a particularly good turn of phrase, just because it's well put together:
"The 90s had the most absolutely heinous hyper processed candies. Unchallenged champion of checkout counter bullshit."

Woo, I just made it past the clip art cover in the AllAuthor contest! Now to see if I can get past the couple really good ones currently ahead of me.
By the time I post this, the lineup will probably be completely different. *breaks out popcorn*

Hey, do replies show up as separate posts here, the way they did on Twitter? Do people stumble upon conversations in progress, or are only the top posts visible unless you click for more?
03:18 PM - Jul 09, 2023
Who, me? Posting the same thing twice so the picture shows up? NONSENSE. Ahem.

Hooray, I made it to Round Two of the cover art contest! Care to vote for me again? This one will be a much closer race!

Ah yes, the whack-a-mole phase of editing: where you try to change one sentence because a word is repeated in the next, only to find that your new word is also repeated in that next one, and so is the one after that. #CampNanoWrimo #AmEditing

Dang, now that I've learned how to make book covers with Canva, I'm reeeeally tempted to throw something together for my #CampNanoWrimo draft.
And by "throw together," I mean "spend all my writing time irresponsibly on that instead."
I will be strong!

Woo, I'm in third place right now!
But GEE DANG does the person in the top spot have a lot of fans to call in.

Okay, that's going to bug me forever. The capitalizations on the tag are wrong, and apparently Spoutible still lets the first person to use a tag decide what to capitalize. #CampNanoWrimo

Me: “Bluh, I’ve read this first chapter so many times; it’s so boring.”
Me: “Haha okay the flying catfish named Mustache is pretty cute.”
Me: “Oh right, a new scene from the janitor’s POV. Let’s see.”
Me: “…”
Me: “Dagnabbit, he’s more interesting than the main character!”

If you write and are new to Spoutible welcome.
Don't feel discouraged when you go through writer/writing hashtags and see a majority of promotion etc..
Real users like me are out there. Just um... Be a little patient. I know it's a big ask. 😅

How's it going, everybody? I've got a wild crow outside that is determined to wash food from the neighbor's trash in our birdbath. Adorable but disgusting. What's new on your end?

If you take the spaces out of “one ring to rule them all,” then read the phrase too quickly, you get “one ring to rule the mall.”
...Has anyone written that 90′s teenage mall-rat AU? Because it really deserves to exist.
