#Writers : I cannot emphasize enough the importance of you understanding your own personal emotional intelligence and those around you. The great books of our future will depend on this relationship! #fiction #author #emotion #passionate #scifi

#AuthorsOfTwitter Children bully as long as they enjoy the reward of doing so. Once the behavior is no longer enjoyable, it usually stops. Now... if we could just get adults to figure this out! #writerscommunity #scifi #Fiction

We live in a world where too many people claim to speak the truth but have no idea what the 'truth' really means. Think of the confusion this causes our youth. #WritingCommunity #parentingtips #author #scifi #truth #teens

Such powerful words!

I believe #writers are the keepers of society's soul. Never lie to your readers - never! #writerscommunity #author #fiction #reader

You write a character consumed by a quest for power. Is your character a female or a male? My newest book uses a female no one sees coming. How about your next project? #writer #author #writerscommunity #author

I have been fortunate to have written ten books so far in my life, but one of the toughest situations I have ever dealt with as a #writer - was when I decided to kill off a major character! How about you? #Writers #Authors #fiction #Literature #fiction

I dreamed for years of the day when I could write any time of the day and as long as I wanted. I am so thankful that the dream finally came true - including a relationship with all of you! #AuthorsOfTwitter #writer #writerscommunity #Amazon #fiction

If two characters in your story fall in love, does the reader understand how it happened? Why not? #writer #author #love #writerscommunity #romancebooks

#Writers sometimes find themselves wandering down life's paths that are meaningless and a waste of their energies. Take the time periodically to re-center yourselves and make sure of the path you are on. #writerscommunity #authors #fiction #fiction

#Parenting: Sit down as a family at the kitchen table for all meals. Share your day with each other or discuss a relevant age-appropriate topic for discussion. Make sure everyone contributes and listens. #writer #author

Twitter is a great means for me to connect with other writers to share support and ideas. Connect with me and I will return the connection. #writerscommunity #writer #fiction #author #publish #story

Lies: Youth that lies to cover up illegal or unsafe behavior need immediate intervention. I recommend the parent seek professional community resources. #parenting #momlife #family #kids #parents #writer #author

What is more important - the journey or the destination? #philosophy #writerscommunity #author #writer #fiction

#wednesdaythought - It is my belief that #writers are the keepers of society's soul - if we are not willing to tell the story - then who will? #writerscommunity #Authors #fiction

I reviewed a story recently. The start and middle of the book were fantastic. Lots of action and great characterizations - so good! Then the ending went plop! Never let down at the end of your story! Finish it with the effort you started with. #writerscommunity #AUTHORS #amazon

Periodically, throw a curve at your audience to ensure they pay attention. In Harry Potter, the house elf, Dobby, shows how powerful he really is against a wizard, Mr. Malfoy. #writingtips #AuthorsOfTwitter #fiction
