This is one of those tweets you don't want to write, but it must be said. I have very clear evidence that @NGDWrites completely plagiarized his screenplay Blood Wave from my script Blood Trickle. Something needs to be done.
Spending time with Microsoft Word for the first time in a very long time, and this is totally viable as a Scrivener replacement. Dynamic chapter numbering and drag and drop of pretty much everything (including chapters), along with the simpler UI and an outline view is doing it for me. Note: I wasn't really a Scrivener power user. I just move scenes and chapters a lot. LOL.
Ugh. In the process of moving from the Origin to the Kindle Scribe I lost all my novel revision notes. The worst part is that I can't blame technology. It was just me being dumb. Oh well, I'm hoping this second pass will be even better.

After 30 minutes of using the Kindle Scribe I'm a fan. The writing experience is exquisite. The screen is as good as the Oasis. Build quality is awesome. A bit heavy, but not as heavy as a hardback. :)

Critiquing this months' free critique winner, and the writing is so strong. That's two in a row of writers who are fundamentally really good. Very pleasantly surprised.
Now that I've installed Elementary OS on this cheap Chromebook and turned it into a pretty decent laptop, i have no idea what to do with it, as I have a new Macbook coming in like 5 days.
Edits on the Wedding Day novel are progressing thanks to some killer feedback from @Sarah Grey. Pretty sure the slow pace will kill my goal of having the Thursday feature screenplay done by the end of March, however.
And we have a winner of the March critique contest! All the entrants will be getting their ebook of my book on revision and Terry Rossio's Wordplayer ebook via email shortly. Next drawing is in about 3 weeks! #jakescritiquelab #givingback

After significant thought over which digital audio workstation to use, I have settled on Logic Pro. The UI works better for me than the alternatives, all of which seemed quite strong.
I can't tell you how great it is that Friendica (a version of Mastadon that's more like Facebook) seamlessly integrates with Twitter. Makes navigating the bird site without touching it so much easier.
After the excitement of a “yes” from a publisher comes the job of assessing your publishing contract. Facing down ten pages of dense legalese can be a daunting task, especially for new and inexperi…
