  • @seth­clif­ford I totally under­stand peo­ple with secu­rity restric­tions not using it. But they’re not enti­tled to it, either. in reply to seth­clif­ford #
  • @seth­clif­ford Actu­ally, I don’t think they could. ALL of the tran­scrip­tion is done in the cloud, so secu­rity restric­tions would ban it. in reply to seth­clif­ford #
  • @NotZura Just a hair over 18 degrees C/​K above absolute zero. Though it’s entirely pos­si­ble our local NBC affiliate’s ther­mome­ter is bro­ken. in reply to NotZura #
  • UC Blog: Is Uni­fi­ca­tion Chron­i­cles really just Baby­lon 5 with the ser­ial num­bers filed off? http://bit.ly/5g0mgb #
  • UC Blog: Is Uni­fi­ca­tion Chron­i­cles really just Baby­lon 5 with the ser­ial num­bers filed off? http://bit.ly/6zPigB #
  • @crimsonsky76 I knew the sub­ject would come up, and you’re not the only one to men­tion it, hence the arti­cle. in reply to crimsonsky76 #
  • UC Blog: 111 Rev­e­la­tion chap­ter 11 first draft http://bit.ly/4OYgim #
  • UC Blog: 112 Rev­e­la­tion chap­ter 12 first draft http://bit.ly/5ChghH #
  • Grr. Why are the last 2 chap­ters of a book so hard to write? #amwrit­ing #grudg­ingly #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard My muse is oddly resis­tant to cross­ing the fin­ish line. Need to break that. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard That’s what hap­pened with my first novel. Last sixth of it wrote itself. I don’t know, this time it’s like a stub­born horse. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard Actu­ally, my first novel is the only one I’ve fin­ished. The oth­ers novel-​length works have stalled out just before the end. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard I’ve always had a fear of fin­ish­ing I don’t quite under­stand. THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE! THIS FAR! NO FARTHER! #
  • @West­ern­wiz­ard I’ve already started mak­ing notes for the edit and out­lin­ing the next book. Just need to push through. in reply to West­ern­wiz­ard #
  • @jen­ny­beanses Nope, but I would recon­sider buy­ing their books. in reply to jen­ny­beanses #
  • E-​books on the back­burner for major pub­lish­ers — http://tinyurl.com/ygyylvr /​/​Those books will be pirated more and pubs will get noth­ing. #
  • Think­ing I need to go home and read all evening (while doing laun­dry, I can’t sin­gle task) to recharge. #amNOTwrit­ing #
  • @JBaby_​9783 Because they think they can lit­i­gate piracy away and force peo­ple to buy their prod­uct. They’re wrong, of course. in reply to JBaby_​9783 #
  • @JBaby_​9783 I gave up on paper books a decade ago, and really don’t miss it. I have plenty to read. in reply to JBaby_​9783 #
  • I know what hap­pens, so why are the words being so dif­fi­cult? #amwrit­ing /​via @natal­iewhip­ple /​/​That’s what I’d like to know! #
  • UC Blog: 113 Rev­e­la­tion chap­ter 13 first draft http://bit.ly/6QGGaY #

  • My hands felt just like two dou­bloons #
  • Most of the swoops I see any­more are per­fectly ordi­nary swoops, noth­ing fell about them, really… #
  • Psst… Decry­ing ebooks because you don’t know what page you’re on is like decry­ing boats because you don’t know what street you’re on. #
  • @JBaby_​9783 I doubt it, they prob­a­bly have only heard of the inter­nets, you know, in pass­ing. in reply to JBaby_​9783 #
  • @mike­cane It’s a James Cameron movie. What did you expect? #ofcoursea­vataristhree­hours­long in reply to mike­cane #
  • @gad­get­man­Brian Yeah, I totally don’t get that either. in reply to gad­get­man­Brian #
  • @chloewrites What if the books are all dig­i­tal and you just can’t see them? in reply to chloewrites #
  • @Philip­pa­Jane If you annoy your audi­ence enough to drive them away, it’s too much mar­ket­ing. in reply to Philip­pa­Jane #
  • @chloewrites Yes. Yes, I am from the future. I buy dozens of books a year & haven’t bought 1 on paper in a decade. in reply to chloewrites #
  • Writer’s block is your muse try­ing to tell you some­thing http://bit.ly/6gx1cl #
