Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

I'm still too beat down to do much thought for this. On top of all the anti-abortion nonsense, my work nonsense, today i go outside to see a neighbor has put up two ultra right wing flags on the apt flag poles (replacing the chewed up Ohio and POW flags) Yeah I'll be complaining.

So the only writerly thing I have going is a note to self, it's 'and then' not just THEN. Also since you have it in every chapter at least a half dozen times I'm going out on a limb and saying you use it too much.

So what bad writing habit do you all have?

And literally since I'm too depressed to do much else, have some writing links.
