Writers Research: love this part of writing. My new story, Celestial Circle of Life, begins near our Sun’s closest neighbour, Proxima Centauri – a red dwarf star. #writing #research @nelming

Bring vs Take??
Bring vs Take: Sheesh, no wonder it can be confusing for us writers– even the definition is dubious! But if we persevere and think about it, we can rise to the occasion 😉 #writing #grammar @nelming

Obscure, Inveigle, Obfuscate!
Obscure, Inveigle & Obfuscate–say what?! It’s the title from an X-file episode. Is it just me, or does it seem to describe our world affairs today? Wonder if an editor or reader would allow me to use such serpentine words 😉🤔 #writing #dictionary @nelming
Muddling Misplaced Modifier
Misplaced Modifier: writers must be careful not to fall into this simple pitfall that muddles the meaning of a sentence. I had to tear it apart and reassemble! #writing #clarity #grammar @nelming
Character Planning
Character planning is always entertaining for me. While choosing a role, I like to imagine which actress or actor I envision in the role. Makes it easier for me to adhere to their personality traits in my story 😎 #writing #story #character @inorsky
