Twit

Yes, Twit.

Ter.

Twit-ter.

Twitter.

I finally took a closer look at it and have, I think, started to figure it out. You can follow me at @laurahamby1, if you're so inclined.

Large Goal is to write something everyday, on the WIP, not Twitter...And here's a picture of my writing company.

Don't know how I'd write without The Girls (AKA 'Knuckleheads.') At the moment, Storm (the tan dog in the foreground) is to my left, and is a wonderful arm rest for my left arm. We're all nice and toasty warm and The Girls are napping...

I'm resisting the siren call to nap, too. Darned dogs!

I need to finish combining the chapters I've already written, then get to the actual writing. That's today's goal - the Daily Goal.

A writer's mind seems to be situated partly in the solar plexus and partly in the head. ~Ethel Wilson~

A good style should show no signs of effort. What is written should seem a happy accident. ~W. Somerset Maugham, Summing Up, 1938~
