#WritersCoffeeClub 3.19 What do you put in your coffee? Or tea? Is it a vital part of your writing process? ...It really isn't a part of my writing process. (My reading process now...I'm more likely to have a snack while reading than writing.) I don't like coffee that much, and if I have tea it's usually sweet tea. #writing #writingcommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.12 Do you agree with Ray Bradbury, who said, "Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things you're doomed"? ...I don't disagree with it, but I also find it to be inherently frustrating. It is very hard for me to do quantity for a variety of reasons, most of them brain-weirdness related. #writing #writingcommunity

Old Dude: Why do American get so upset over dogs dying in movies?
Me: ...Because we're traumatized by being made to read literature where a kid's coming-of-age arc includes the horrible death of a loyal animal companion--usually a dog. #books

TFW you aren't quite sure how repaired someone broken leg is going to be by the time protagonist A gets to where he needs to be. I may have to go back and edit the timeline. I hate math. So. Much. Why is there math in my writing? A curse upon needing to keep track of the sequential passage of time.

@alan 1. I was being silly 2a. I am very very bad at numbers. 2b. this includes those involved in the passage of time, remembering dates, addresses, phone numbers, and math. 3. 😝 4. But mostly I was being silly.
