Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 23/02/2025Another night at the fire of my story, telling my tale to the stars... 030
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 22/02/2025I've got to say, if there is such a thing as reincarnation, I'd like to come back as my cat. He has the life. 020
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 22/02/2025For a short month, February sure is taking its sweet time. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 21/02/2025The beginning of every writing day starts with coffee. It is the equivalent of donning my armor and honing my weapons before battle in the olden days. 000
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 20/02/2025I remember when I first heard people skip prologues, my initial reaction was disbelief. I still don't understand it. It's like me saying, "Oh, I never watch the first ten minutes of a movie." 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 20/02/2025I don’t do it that often, but I like writing in the quiet hours of the night. Everyone is asleep, even my cat, and it’s almost like I’m all alone in another world. Just me and these characters… 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Awesome news everybody! I just received a DM from a lady who will “elevait yur book 2 new hites!” It was nice knowing you all! I’m on my way to super stardom!!! 030
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Just hammering away at my WIP and my sword arm is getting tired. 100
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 18/02/2025If there’s one thing my cat cannot abide, it’s me getting some undisturbed sleep at night. 061
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Writing is such a strange thing. One day I’m on fire with the heat of my story. The next, I’m a pile of wet smoldering ashes. 000
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 18/02/2025One of the many reasons I like Scrivener. It keeps all my files in one place. I have a 'Not Used' folder and an 'Old Material' folder (for versions before rewrite. Sometimes I've written a chapter and then decided it doesn't work.) 000
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 18/02/2025I write what I believe, hoping to find truth by the end. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 18/02/2025The road is long and winding, filled with danger and despair. And I do not even know if I will reach its end. Yet still I trod on. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I hate when characters in books and movies make really stupid decisions. Me: answering the DM from ExiledNigerianPrince 000
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I may pay the mortgage but my cat owns the house. God forbid I should close a door without his permission. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 17/02/2025You should do what my friend did and get a used cow milker 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 16/02/2025In my personal life story, my cat switches from faithful companion to evil antagonist with frightening ease and regularity. 020
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 16/02/2025I wish there was a couch sitting contest. I feel like I could win that. 020
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 15/02/2025I am also shielded by headphones to defend me from any assaults upon my productivity. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 15/02/2025I have armed myself with piping hot coffee and am now ready to tackle this chapter. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 15/02/2025I don't believe any of the agendas listed pay them enough. 000
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Ah, the Jenga Bookstore. Where you must buy the right book - or else! 030
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Preferably while I'm having a drink or playing a video game. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I’m pretty sure I have an evil twin out in the world somewhere and he’s responsible for at least half of my problems. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I don't know why they don't make it a law that anything created with AI has to have notice stating so. Like a warning label. Let the buyer then decide if they want it. Trying to pass it off on people unseen is an act of bad faith, like slipping bad ingredients into your meal. 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Valentine’s Day is supposed to be descended from a Roman festival of drunken sex. Enjoy! 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Headphones and music are the bulwark of my writing fortress 010
Bill Thorne @billthorne.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Why grieve for someone who might yet be realized? 000
