At no point in this classic thriller did Tom Clancy include strategic communications on an unsecured public channel that included emojis. That would have seemed like absurd satire. #booksky 💙📚 #HistoricalFiction ⏳📚 #booksky.club/main 📚💙 #bookskychat #sanity #litfic 🖋️📚

If you're a writer, the time has come to step up. Tyranny is at the door. #booksky 💙📚 #HistoricalFiction ⏳📚 #booksky.club/main 📚💙 #bookskychat #sanity #litfic 🖋️📚

Self-pub plan on hold today after agent who has my book wrote to say it's very close to publishable with a few quick and easy tweaks. He'll look at my rewrite as soon as it's done. Also got a $$ book editing job today. Advance on the way. It's been a good day. #amwriting #amquerying #bookskychat

No. 10 on Elmore Leonard's list of 10 Rules for Good Writing: "Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip." I've skipped about half of my current read and I'm only 50 pages into it. It's by a best-selling author but I'll be lucky if I have the stamina to make it to the end. #bookskychat

"When someone asks how many books you read this year..." I have literally never been asked that by anyone. Why would I keep track? Who cares, anyway? Am I missing an essential element of the Bsky #writingcommunity experience by not counting? Ask me how many I wrote. I can answer that. #bookskychat

A lot of words remain to be written about the tears this regime is bringing to the world. If you write, do your duty. People need courage, comfort and hope. #booksky 💙📚 #HistoricalFiction ⏳📚 #booksky.club/main 📚💙 #bookskychat #sanity #litfic

Harper Lee published only one book in her lifetime -- and it's now more important than ever. The polar opposite of Atticus Finch is in power today. #booksky 💙📚 #HistoricalFiction ⏳📚 #booksky.club/main 📚💙 #bookskychat #sanity #litfic 🖋️📚

reminder that the BookSky chat feed is for discussion of books and reading, NOT self promotion and NOT any variety of 20 book challenges. #bookskychat those are welcome on the main feed, as usual. 📚💙

I've DNFed three books in a row now that failed to get the story going soon enough. The first few chapters were all about world building or backstory, and not about characters I can care about and identify with in a situation that makes me ask, "And then what happened?" #bookskychat

This regime has taken Heller's insights on corruption and cruelty to nightmare proportions. Milo Minderbinder's moral twin now infests the White House. #booksky 💙📚 #HistoricalFiction ⏳📚 #booksky.club/main 📚💙 #bookskychat #sanity #litfic 🖋️📚

I just discovered Goodreads has three of my books attributed to some other Jerry Smith. Either that or I'm married and living in Texas and am somehow unaware of both of those things. I've heard Goodreads is a shitshow. I believe it now. #bookskychat #writingcommunity #authors
