#sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:00:46 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @BryanThomasS I try to write eight hours a day.Weirdly this often takes sixteen.(Have two young men yammering at me, right now)#sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:01:31 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @BryanThomasS And sometimes I rotate the (4) cats to avoid writing. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:01:50 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: .@SarahAHoyt Do you have any writing rituals or tools? Scrivener? Word? Something else? Do you write to music or silence? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:02:01 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @Wyld_Dandelyon The alternative is to deal with the college students (sons) You don’t want to do THAT to me. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:02:33 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: .@SarahAHoyt Maybe sometimes the 4 cats rotate themselves to prevent writing? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:02:49 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @sffwrtcht Music. The weird thing is the character chooses them. Athena likes… Buddy Holly. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:03:30 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @SarahAHoyt LOL well, characters are “characters” #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:04:03 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: .@SarahAHoyt What�s the best and worst writing advice you�ve ever gotten? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:04:12 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @BryanThomasS That is true too. Usually on my keyboard. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:04:25 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @BryanThomasS @SarahAHoyt I’ve had cats lie across my hands & forearms over the keyboard. They are disgusted when I keep typing! #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:04:35 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @sffwrtcht Buddy Holly died too young. It gets repetitious. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:05:01 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @sffwrtcht Best, from @Dean Wesley Smith “Stop worrying about the words, just tell the story.” — got me over the ESL fears. (Thu Feb 28 03:05:44 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @SarahAHoyt LOL Yeah, that’s a short playlist for sure. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:05:52 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @sffwrtcht worst was from another published author who said that “first you must find the “engine”" — I still have no clue what she meant. (Thu Feb 28 03:06:34 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @Wyld_Dandelyon @SarahAHoyt My last cat just sat on the keyboard or my chair if I got up #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:06:51 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @Wyld_Dandelyon @BryanThomasS Havelock Cat (after Vetinary, natch) bites my fingers. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:07:07 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @SarahAHoyt LOL Cryptic advice is so helpful #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:07:08 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: @SarahAHoyt Would Athena accept a Pandora station with Buddy Holly as the “seed”? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:07:12 +0000 2013)sffwrtcht: .@SarahAHoyt Tell us a bit about your mysteries other books. Musketeers? Shakespeare fantasies? Mysteries? You’ve diverse tastes #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:07:34 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @BryanThomasS The WORST are the furniture refinishing mysteries which will ONLY be written to Evita. Srsly. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:07:54 +0000 2013)Wyld_Dandelyon: Wait–did @SarahAHoyt answer the “best and worst advice” question? #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:08:33 +0000 2013)SarahAHoyt: @BryanThomasS each book seems to have its time of day and ritual “diet coke, or coffee?” “Home or coffee shop?”It’s a book thing. #sffwrtcht (Thu Feb 28 03:08:48 +0000 2013)BryanThomasS: @SarahAHoyt LOL Don’t cry for me Argentina, I’m no longer faded furniture.
