My favourite jazz performance: Mercy, Mercy, Mercy from Cannonball Adderley. Makes me happy every time I listen to it, and the perfect companion as I finish up a short story all about a jazz musician.
Writers, I have a question for you.
If your main character could sit down with you for coffee, what would they complain about first?
And would you even survive the conversation? 😂
#5amWritersClub went to the Inglewood library. It had some skeletons on a rickety looking bench.
I squatted so I didn't break the bench, but it look like I'm sitting.
😎🙌
Great job by the librarians and a decent joke.
I had no idea!

Tracking ages, pen-and-paper version:
Don't write down how old a character is. Write the year they were born.
Then put the story's year at the top of every chapter.
Ages become arithmetic, not memory. Flashbacks, sibling gaps and "ten years later" stop drifting.
You miss him so much, you're no longer sure you exist. What if he hates you? Or, worse, never even thinks about you?
You pedal through feelings - loneliness, devastation, desperation - but one day, #bravery wins. You reach out, and you wait.
Happy Wednesday Morning. Wishing you all a great day. #amwriting #writerlife #authorlife #booklife #writingcommunity #authorcommunity #bookcommnity #indieauthor #indiewriter
