Do you continue reading a book you don’t like? I’m in the middle one that I want to finish to say I finished it but don’t really want to read. #writingcommunity

I've started a new project, the Social Curmudgeon, and here's a draft of the first chapter on Medium. I have to be social and nice, but I'm kinda grumpy. How to navigate this? medium.com/@kctorawrites/the… #WritingCommunity

What's your advice for new writers? Mine is to decide on your writing name and stick to it. I changed to a pen name, and it's proving quite difficult to change some of my author pages. #WritingCommunity

Do you write in only one genre, or do you write in different ones? I love my literary fiction but am dabbling in children’s lit. #writingcommunity

I had a dream where someone touched my arm, and I could feel it. It was more physical than mental. No one touched me while I was sleeping which would have explained it. Has this happened to you?

My 12 year old is now calling me by my first name. I mean, it's my name, but also, is this normal?

Does anyone publish short books on KDP? 20k words-ish. I read about writers who do that, and it sounds interesting. #writingcommunity

Would you use racial slurs in dialogue for unsavory characters? I'm uncomfortable with it, but I think it would make the character even worse (which is the point). #WritingCommunity

What word do you write that doesn't look right? I guess I've never written the word "gnaw" because it doesn't look right at all, but it is. Oh those silent letters... #WritingCommunity

I was in the middle of a WIP, then started another one, then another one, now a new one. Anyone else not finishing what they started?? #WritingCommunity

Does young adult literature need pics? I have a collection of spooky short stories but can't decide if I want to include some illustrations. #WritingCommunity
