We actually have someone at this company named “Asterisk”. People do that now? I could name a kid, say, “Ampersand” and that’s okay? #
@aslapintheface But please, people, do not name a child “pound sign” or “colon”. You’re just asking for trouble in the schoolyard. in reply to aslapintheface #
@aslapintheface You could get away with naming a little girl “Em Dash” as long as people thought she was named “Emily”. in reply to aslapintheface #
@jeanettemarsh That would have been less confusing, actually. in reply to jeanettemarsh #
@mightymur Imhotep is clearly trying to lull people into a false sense of security. And get candy. in reply to mightymur #
@aslapintheface *facepalm* in reply to aslapintheface #

RT @scifirules: What really happened to Sanctuary’s Ashley #scifi http://bit.ly/3kNICs //FTR, I’m okay with this & the comments depress me. #
@michaelspence Yeah, Castle’s quickly becoming my one can’t-miss show of the week, and not just because I’m a Browncoat. in reply to michaelspence #
Interesting. You don’t have to follow someone on Twitter to put them in one of your lists. Lots of potential there. #
@JeremyCShipp Frankly I was hoping for more gall bladder. And maybe a little thyroid. in reply to JeremyCShipp #
RT @RachelleGardner: Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary. #writingtip //(I do this far too much myself.) #
RT @RachelleGardner: If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. #writingtip //Unless Yoda, you are. #
@JeremyCShipp Where’s the fun in a purely evil character? I’d much rather have the antagonist driven by what he thinks is right. in reply to JeremyCShipp #
@AfrimKacaj MC Escher’s world. in reply to AfrimKacaj #
@robkroese Danke, sir! in reply to robkroese #
@ChrisLeckness Totally worth it at that price. I prefer it over Tap Tap because I can focus on specific instruments in reply to ChrisLeckness #
Wow, my nearly 5000 tweets, assuming an average of 100 characters, average of four characters per word, comes out to nearly 100,000 words. #
@jkendrick Yeah, I’m talking about my own work. But is it positive or negative for me to podcast a novel I wrote 13 years ago? in reply to jkendrick #
Big Friday night ahead consisting of buying cat food and lasagna, going home and watching a little TV before bed. #writershaveallthefun #
@TheBigKlosowski Fate still owes me $20. Deadbeat. in reply to TheBigKlosowski #
@crimsonsky76 Not sure the literary world is ready for a stream of my consciousness. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@crimsonsky76 And tomorrow, the last day I get to sleep in until after Labor Day 2010. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
Will probably hit tweet 5000 some time this weekend. Feel like I should use it to say something profound, but why start now? #
@nlowell I knew he was right when I heard that on the panel, but didn’t want to admit it. Grr. in reply to nlowell #
@robkroese XSive Suicide? in reply to robkroese #
@robkroese Because really, one is too many. in reply to robkroese #

@BadAstronomer And presumably, more universal, not tied to any particular client. in reply to BadAstronomer #
@tibbarerew I’m watching the Criminal Minds @wilw is allegedly in, but haven’t seen him yet. in reply to tibbarerew #
@wilw Okay you were hella creepy in Criminal Minds. <shudder/> in reply to wilw #
RT @wilw: Time for another episode of tru FACTS w/WIL WHEATON: Young Frankenstein is 1 of the greatest movies of all time. Absolute genius. #
@mpmorehead It’s a cliché for a reason: each rejection is one step closer to a sale. in reply to mpmorehead #
RT @CRA1G: RT @AtheistHitSquad: The more I think about it.… the more I realize that Jesus was a socialist. //And a hardcore one at that. #
@ColleenLindsay @RachelleGardner And now I’ve just eaten two fun sized Butterfingers. in reply to ColleenLindsay #
@CRA1G BRAINBLEACH in reply to CRA1G #
@RobinInSeoul Better question is who will be able to tell. Given property values in Detroit, there could be literally $1000s in damage. in reply to RobinInSeoul #
@CRA1G empathy in reply to CRA1G #
@PGHolyfield Your internal clock is looking for cheap nylons? in reply to PGHolyfield #
@PhilippaJane wackachickawackachika… in reply to PhilippaJane #
@RobT43 jailbreak and install just Music Controls. Pandora in the background with the flakiness of Backgrounder. in reply to RobT43 #
@kimidreams ( … ) in reply to kimidreams #
I have not been this nervous in… I’m not sure I’ve ever been this nervous. #
My mind is literally bouncing around like a Bing commercial. #
@Alli_Flowers http://bit.ly/nHoz2 I’m going to write 7 novels in 10 months, starting in 4 hours. in reply to Alli_Flowers #
And the crowd here in Chipotle is getting lively. Amazing what people with tiny bottles of vodka will tell a guy with a laptop. #
@crimsonsky76 I keep telling myself, this is doable, I’m not really crazy… in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@Gartenberg Levitt really is a genius. in reply to Gartenberg #
I think I was this nervous getting on the bus to Basic Training. Maybe. #
Listening to Stephen King — On Writing (Unabridged) http://qtwt.us/fod #
@Melzer Well, yeah, obviously I’ll just sit down and write. Every day. Until DragonCon. in reply to Melzer #

@crimsonsky76 It’s just like roller coasters for me. As soon as I crest that first hill, I’ll relax and enjoy the ride. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
@wilw Wow, your marriage is made of awesome. in reply to wilw #
@MaxGeek MUST HAVE WRITINGSES! in reply to MaxGeek #
@NotZura My life is becoming defined by holidays. Might finish Revelation by Thanksgiving, Crusade by xmas, Jihad by President’s Day… in reply to NotZura #
@MaxGeek Outlines are for paint by numbers types! I have a handful of bullet points and might not use that. Bring it! in reply to MaxGeek #
@MaxGeek #MGUWC Write every day for 300 days, rain or shine, happy or sad. BRING. IT. in reply to MaxGeek #
@BlaqueSaber What would you consider a pantser who knows how it ends? in reply to BlaqueSaber #
@BlaqueSaber I know how all seven books begin and end, but I’m winging the middle bits. in reply to BlaqueSaber #
@BlaqueSaber I’m writing 7 books in 10 months, from NaNo to DragonCon. NaNo 2010 will be Ghost Ronin, a completely different book. in reply to BlaqueSaber #
@BlaqueSaber Excellent question. I have no idea yet. Conventional wisdom is that a 7 book series by a debut author is unsellable. in reply to BlaqueSaber #
@BlaqueSaber Ah, you see my plan. in reply to BlaqueSaber #
@robkroese I’m blown away by a Basement Cat named Carl Sagan. in reply to robkroese #
@Nobilis Best of luck to you! in reply to Nobilis #

@Nobilis w00t! Keep going! in reply to Nobilis #
Decoupling from the Twitter machine. T-17 minutes to NaNoWriMo and #MGUWC #
2165 words in my first hour. More writing at 6am, after about 4 hours of sleep. #NaNoWriMo #MGUWC #
Ooh, five hours of sleep! Thank you Daylight Savings Time! #
@Nobilis I’m at 2165 from last night’s kickoff, hoping I can squeeze in enough during the Broncos game to crest 3k. Writein later #nanowrimo in reply to Nobilis #
Watching Broncos pregame. The sun is over the yardarm somewhere, right? #
@rcartwright I give up nothing, is just get the day’s writing done first. in reply to rcartwright #
@rcartwright If only I had a pc capable of playig LOTRO. Maybe when I replace my 2133 with a HP Mini 311 and yummy nVidia Ion graphics… in reply to rcartwright #
@rcartwright We both can tweet from the @MaxGeek account, but it’s usually Josh in reply to rcartwright #
@aslapintheface Of course Palin’s going to run. When has rationality stopped her before? in reply to aslapintheface #
@PhilippaJane I know the feeling! in reply to PhilippaJane #
@PhilippaJane Come on over! We might even have adequate health care someday! in reply to PhilippaJane #
@jennybeanses Vamp Willow = hot; Witch Willow = sweet. Depends on what I’m in the mood for. in reply to jennybeanses #
Unsure if I should feel guilty for goofing around on Twitter instead of writing, considering I’m sitting at 3200 words for today. #
@Gartenberg Best season of the five, by far in reply to Gartenberg #
@PhilippaJane Just no drink before. Trust me, bad idea. in reply to PhilippaJane #
