Got a title change suggestion in my second beta's report - most intriguing Three Ways was always a clickbait title even though the subject is physical, emotional, and spiritual connections, there's just a lot of trauma recovery in the book Stay tuned for an update... #WritingCommunity #ReaderSky

I once read a post on a different platform from someone who doesn't understand the art of #fanfiction and was calling it ripping off the original source material. Trying to tell us fanfiction #authors that we should stop doing this because "It's not what the original created wanted."

I decided to write for #HappyGoose #SomethingEveryday today. And in my own #Sonnet form too, trying out different placements of that third refrain. #Quonnet #MeyersoneanSonnet #Goose

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
Reflected in the waters of the lake
Would cause even the toughest beast to quake
As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose

With leafy spear tucked beneath its wing,
(A stalk of iron hard asparagus)
The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
Will serve as all its victims' last warning

So should that ever fall into your sight,
The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
You ought to run, or else prepare to loose
At least a dozen fingers in the fight.

The shine of bronze with luscious copper hues
As comes the armoured fowl, Aspartagoose.

Look, #WritingCommunity. I get that we want to support each other and even repost other authors’ promos for their books. I do it. But if those promos are obviously AI generated, maybe rethink the repost. If I see them, I will mute them. If it’s often, I will block or unfollow.

82k words into draft three, which is a big rewrite, and I'm hoping that the final 20k or so just pour out of me easily, like shooting down a water slide or some other more effective metaphor. thats never happened to me before but there's always a first time, right? #fantasy #writesky #fantasy
