Threads seems to be more “reactive” in terms of pub/writing on the WIP/self-pub threads & for established writers.
But sky seems more genuine with the mags and the indies and the actual writers grinding every day to push their stories and support each other.

Wow, unfollowing now. I was a big fan of his scientific research. No idea he was illegally exhuming bodies, breaking natural laws, wantonly creating life, and then abandoning his own creation to find its humanity in a world that abhors its very existence to avoid parenting responsibilities.

In writing this book, I wrote around the protagonist, but the second I started writing pov from his wife Elaine, I fell in love w/ her part of the story.
But I need to cut 1/4 of this book.
This is the hardest creative choice I’ve ever made.
Maybe I can beg her forgiveness by giving her a novella
