Same for writers—I explore the darker sides of humanity within the structure of clues, red herrings, and page-turning reveals. And yas for justice!

Dialogue just flows for me. Can easily do 2-3K in a single sitting.
But scene descriptions and action scenes are **slow** going.

I’m voting for the first candidate that makes it illegal for people who refuse to use headphones in public spaces. No one wants to listen to your videos, sir. **No one**

Trying like hell to finish the messy, plot-hole-ridden first draft (and calming myself that’s supposed to be like that).
Meet Dash Parker, former socialite, now owner of the gay speakeasy Pinstripes. Here are 2 of my fave quotes of his.

Writing in the #1920s, historical events drive a lot of my plot development. But also the characters, main & secondary. What kind of trouble would they get into? And then, bc #mystery, what crime haven’t I written about yet?
