- I've been following Pete Buttigieg as he conducts town halls all over the US. If he ran for president, would you vote for him? I would. He's so articulate, intelligent, and compassionate. #resist #BlueCrew

- I have the same fear, Stephanie. When people say things like, "We only have to put up with tRump for 4 years." I always think that they're nuts if they think the party of corruption will hold a fair and free election in 2028!

- Good morning, creatives! I'm heading north to the cabin today. I need my quiet time. This Zion National Park, taken by my son-in-law, the amateur astronomer. I find the picture inspiring. He makes us calendars of his shots. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

- Even though some GOP have raised concerns on the luxury 747 jet gifted to the US government, for the most part Trumps cult just keeps accepting his corruption. Unbelievable.

- Good morning, creatives! I wrote a YA fantasy that I haven't been able to find a home for, and I don't want to self-publish. I'm turning it into a romantasy to see if that helps. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity Here's the night sky over our lake, taken from our dock.

- It is tough to change lanes. I'm cautiously optimistic regarding the story that is out on submission. I've had 2 nibbles, but no one on the hook yet.
- Good morning, creatives! Be curious. Enjoy.

- Thanks, Jeri. You are very kind to take the time to encourage a fellow author. You're my kind of people.
- I have 20 published novels: 13 by a major publisher, and 7 indie-published. My debut days are long gone. What I did was jump into a different lane. I went from writing romances to writing 2 YA fantasies. One got published traditionally, but it's not selling well. The other one ... nothing.

- For that particular novel? 2 years. I've given up and am now querying a paranormal.

- Well, me too, but ... It's what is selling. It won't be heavy on the romance, more subtle.

- How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law
- Yes!

- Good morning, creatives! The world is going crazy! Is it something in the water, the air, or the food we eat? Do the planets aligning have something to do with the chaos? Is it cyclical? Or, is it just greed? I want it to stop. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

- Whew! I don't go to any of the places on that list!
- Here's a question for my writer friends: When you write using your desktop or laptop computer, do you call what you are doing "typing," or "keyboarding?" Are the two synonymous? (I guess that's two questions." #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub

- And yet, I am neither young, on TikTok, nor up-to-date on memes ... 🤪 I keyboard when on my computer, and I write in a notebook.

- Good point, Lisa.

- I've always used the word keyboarding since taking a couple of word processing classes. Funny. When I went to college, I had an electronic typewriter that would save up to 4 pages of work. I'd type four pages, print, delete, repeat. What a pain! At that time, I'd refer to it as typing.

- I think we should get Wednesdays off. Two days of work in a row is plenty. Plus more time for writing 😁 #5amwritersclub #writersky #writingcommunity #WIP #SFR
- Some countries have four-day work weeks, like Belgium and Australia.
- Good morning, creatives! I'm 10K words into my new WIP, and I'm enjoying the story. It's the second book in a paranormal series, and this will be my 24th novel. Writing is good for the brain. What are you up to? #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

- Good morning, creatives! Inspirations can come from anywhere. Here's where I got the idea for my time travel romance: SUMMONED IN TIME. It's an old silver mine that is haunted. Would you work there? Meredith MacCarthy did. She's a ghost whisperer. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity
