Ain't #writing funny sometimes ? i passed the last 15min remembering a word that doesn't exist, and another 15 to find the right word. And, when you have formated your text, and you find one single word, all alone, at the top of the last page. Yep! Funny! #WritingCommuntity #WordTrigger

Done for this one. Found the name i needed. i ended up re-wording the end. i deleted a big sentence i though was important... that became confusing. I like it better now. Cliffhangers, am i right ? #writingcommunity #UnwrittenRules

So, re-re-re-re-re-editing my manuscript. The FRench version could use a 8 or 9k trimming. Mindful of that, i cut a few words, here nad there. AND THEN I WRITE A FULL SENTENCE BECAUSE I THINK IT ADDS CONTEXT... and it's funny. Ugh! #writingcommunity #TheCommunityWhoWritesWords

Well, i'm left with 2 choices: 1- find editors and self-publish online 2- find an agent To either point, i'm revising my manuscript, one short story at a time. I have to say, it's going pretty well. 2026 was all delays. Worse thing is that while i'm doing this, i don't write. #writingcommunity

Dear #WritingCommunity i received my copy of The Elements of Style, 2026 ed. i haven't read it yet... because i'm kinda angry at the publisher after flipping through it. The book is 6"x9". WHY are the margins so wide ? WHY is the font so small ? I'm not happy. Good day! I SAID GOOD DAY !
