@LiberalLibrarian oh I love classical guitar. Wish I could attend!

@Bliss Thank you so much!

I'll be speaking at Author Nation in Las Vegas from November 11 - 16. Let me know if you will be attending AuthorNation. I'd love to meet CounterSocial writers! My talk is entitled, "Growing Your Writing Business: How to Create and Use a Writer’s Business Plan that Works for You." #writers #WritingCommunity #CoSoWriters

Business Advice for Writers: Medical issues have kept me off CounterSocial for some time. I am doing better and am back to writing again. I'll be posting Business Advice for Writers again. #24i534w#writingcommunity#CoSoWriters

Business Advice for Writers: Editors want great stories. They don't care how old you are or what your social media numbers are. Instead, they want to know if you wrote a story that they and readers would not be able to put down. #WriterCommunity #writers #CosoWriters

@LiberalLibrarian @slirt Ah, I love bowling. I told my family last week for my birthday I wanted to go to a new bowling alley that just opened. Let me know if you keep at it. Here in New England, the lanes are usually pinball. I prefer a real bowling alley, but that's just me.

@Mizmo I was having this issue often. I started writing from 2 - 6 when I woke up and there was no one to bother or interrupt me. Then I sleep from 6-10. Of course if you aren't writing full-time I realize that won't work. Sleep issues are rampant it seems these days. There is just so much stress to deal with. I hope this was a one time occurrence for you.

@Samanthabwriter That's great news. Congratulations!

Business Advice for Writers: Set goals. Don't abandon them if you don't make one. At least you know where you're going. Many writers quit when they miss a goal. You can't make a goal you don't have. Keep working & you'll succeed. #WritingCommunity #Writers #CoSoWriters

@WestofMars I'm sure it will come back. I recently had this happen to me. Rereading from the beginning helped me. I hope the voice comes to you soon.

Business Advice for Writers: I attended an Ed Sheeran concert last night. He said he wrote a new song and played it at the pub. every week. People ignored him when he sang, but he kept doing it. Be like Ed. Write a short story every week & mail it until you make it. #WritingCommunity #Writiers

@Dugout_Tales Congratulations! What is the next step?

@DevonEllington I am now! I look forward to reading it.

@ianthealy Go for it!

Business Advice for Writers: Make managing your expenses a part of your business routine. Always know how much you spent last month, how much cash is in your writing bank account for this month, & how much you owe each month for the rest of the year. #WritingCommunity #CosoWriters #Writers

Business Advice for Writers: A key to selling more books is knowing when to outsource non-writing tasks. When you struggle to meet non-writing obligations it is time to research outsourcing options. #WritingCommunity #Writers #CosoWriters

@DebyFredericks

They seem to know when we have decided to sleep in. Personally, I think mine are just upset that I haven't fed them yet. (At 4:30 in the morning. I blame the baby birds chirping who wake the cats up. My husband blames the cats.)
