LOVE this poem I read in "Warriors in Broad Daylight"
no
is a full sentence
do not let anyone make you feel like it has to be followed
with a comma or a because
no can be no
simply because you decided it was

Not lying when I say it was my pleasure :-)
Working through the line edit of "The First of Shadows". This is why you pay a good editor! So many little details are being improved. Thanks @BellLettres!
That place where updating npm causes a massive cascade of dependency issues in your Vue app. I'm there.

All that being said, I'm wondering what to do with this account. My thought is to push a lot of my personal thoughts on writing and fiction to this account. It would likely mean changing my twitter handle to match my writing pen name. What are your thoughts?!
I am, however, looking to become more active as a writer of FICTION. I've started writing my own series of heroic fantasy stories.

Hello followers! I need your insightful help/thoughts/opinions. As many of you may have noticed (or not), I haven't been super active on Twitter over the past couple of years. I'm still working in the design/dev space, but I'm not writing as much in that space.

There are SO MANY BOOKS. #writers, how do you balance:
1. Reading all the things while writing all the words.
2. Battle the anxiety of trying to get your own work to stand out against the massive influx of books and ebooks out there?
