It's difficult to explain how *nice* mastodon is compared to the other site. I don't know how much of that is the lack of algorithm and how much is just people wanting to talk about something other than rage obsessions, but... It's nice.
Please be patient while I remember how to communicate my interests fluently.
About 6 weeks ago I ordered a #pineTime watch because book sales were abysmal, and I was convinced I'd have to give up my business and dream job and go back into nursing where a watch is essential. Between going to interviews, I launched one last desperate promotion, and it exploded.
Ironically, the watch arrived today, the same day I broke a monthly sales record. I'm no longer looking for a nursing job, but I'll wear this watch as a reminder to not give up, give it time; everything changes.
A total of 3725 words were added to the WIP today. It currently stands at 40,454 words, and I'm *this* close to finishing the second act.
It's time to get to work on the WIP. I left 333 words on the table last night, so I need to pick up those and another 3000.
What's everyone else working on today?
Something to consider when posting hashtags:
For people using screen readers, they know when to separate words either by spaces, or uppercase letters. 'mastoart' will try to be pronounced as one word, whereas 'MastoArt' will be pronounced as 'Masto Art'. It just makes life a little bit easier for those who rely on screen readers to interact with the fediverse 
We're now also on Mastodon and we come bearing good news.
#PINE64 EU launches May 10th.
I need to remember to pepper in my protagonist's reactions every now and then, especially after something happens. If the events of the scene weren't enough to evoke a response from my protagonist, then how would I expect them to evoke a response from the reader?
Hi. I'm #newhere but not part of the Great Twitter Exodus that I'm seeing. I'm a sci-fi writer whose day job is writing fantasy novels. I like the idea of social media, but have yet to find a place that doesn't leave me despairing humanity's future. After ghosting on a variety of platforms, I feeI like Mastodon is the most inclusive to the kind of people I most closely identify with, and it's the least hateful. Thanks for having me.
