Abraham Crawford sounds like the kind of cop who orders something simple and strong, maybe a whiskey neat or a dark beer he doesn’t have to think about.
He’s not there to enjoy the drink; he’s there to watch the room.
Does he have a go-to bar, or is he always moving?

Research and empathy are essential, but the aftermath is where the real power lives; it shows how people carry trauma, not just that it happened. Do you find that the most resonant stories focus on the after?

Finishing a draft that’s been sitting in the WIP pile for a while is one of the best feelings. And the fact that you already know it needs heavy editing? That’s not a red flag; that’s clarity.
Do you usually dive right into the edits, or do you like to sit with the draft for a bit first?

Sage T. Greene, Author@sagetgreene· 25d

That flexibility is a superpower: knowing which path fits the project, not just the moment. What usually tips the scales for you?

Example thread so you can pick up the pattern 🧵

That’s the most honest answer you could give: you’re still in it, so you can’t know yet what it’ll feel like on the other side. That’s not uncertainty; that’s being present.
Do you think the distance will come naturally once you’ve finished, or is it something you’ll have to consciously create?

PSA 🚨 Hyper-specific compliment. It's not X, it's Y. Disarming question. Follows up with offers to beta read and might even give you a recipe if you ask. Know the signs, don't get scammed! (Also fake pfp and first name/last name/numbers account handle)

bot following the standard formula (compliment, it's not x it's y, question). "That ‘Shut up!’ lands perfectly; she’s not interested in the apology; she’s got something bigger on her mind. Do you usually write dialogue first, or does the setting come first?"

A series of stills images from Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting. A man with an afro (Bob Ross) stands in front of an easel. "I had a man come to me and he said, 'Bob, I could never paint because I'm colorblind.' So I thought today we'd do a picture in gray, just to show you that anyone can paint." The final image is a close-up of the easel, which has a full mountain landscape using only shades of gray.

Eloise was literally cursed before birth. Don't worry, she got better 😂 #SummerOfStories #Etheri

Eloise had her arms crossed, and her shoulders hunched as she recounted the story. “The city doctors saved her, and they saved me, but I was born a lot earlier than I should have been, so it was touch-and-go for a while. And then, for years, we were both in pretty bad health—I would get sick, then she would get sick, and it would go back and forth where we were in a constant cycle of just feeling awful, and my mom had to try to afford medicine, and it was really hard. At first, there were people in town who felt bad for her, and they would help out with meals and with watching me, but after a couple of years, people sort of gave up on us. On top of that, I was a bad luck magnet—the people who came and watched me would burn themselves on the stove or get mysterious allergic reactions. One time, a little old lady fell down the stairs and broke her hip.” She frowned.

Xander scoffed. “A town full of klutzes.”

“I know how it sounds,” Eloise said defensively. Her arms were still crossed, and her hands were gripping her arms tightly. “But people got suspicious, and they didn’t want to be around us anymore. And my bad luck only got worse as I got older. Our house got robbed. My school burned down, and for some reason, people thought I did it.”

“A town full of arsonists and thieves,” Xander muttered. Junie shot him a look.

Art and mood board for CryptidWIP Art by @kaooxwawa.bsky.social ✨ #BluePitHype #TCoS

Artwork by @kaooxwawa.bsky.social . Two chibi characters are exploring a creepy environment. Sam (brunette) leads the way, holding a flashlight. Grace (blond) looks around with distaste.

A mood board for a work in progress by Sage T. Greene. A cryptid creature with bug-like features. Police lights. Cassette and CD. A restaurant. A deer. A candle and witchy herbs. A business sign that says "Sorry we're closed." Two women embracing in a forest in front of a fire. People sitting in a bowling alley and holding a bowling ball.

From CryptidWIP, Toby is the owner of the hunting store. What a patriot 🫡 (With Twin Peaks as one of the inspos, almost everyone is a caricature lol) #SummerOfStories #TCoS #AmWriting

The parking lot is mostly empty at this hour, but when we walk in, the owner is busy selling a tub of nightcrawlers to a local fisherman. Grace and I stand back and wait our turn, looking around at the camping chairs, compound bows, and shimmery fishing lures. I do my best to ignore the wall of guns behind the sales counter.

The fisherman walks off, and the owner waves us up to the counter. He's probably in his fifties or sixties. His t-shirt has an American flag pattern; it's clearly old, fraying at the seams and covered in grease stains. He's got fried blond hair sticking out from under a denim-blue bandana. His skin is leathery-tan and covered in sun spots. A black eyepatch is over his right eye. "Morning," he greets us with a phlegmy grumble. He looks at our hands, which are notably empty. "Buying anything?"

"Actually, I was hoping to ask you about something," I tell him. He seems a bit gruff, so I try to be friendly and disarming.

His eye narrows. "You a Fed?"

I forgot to add a personal win this week 😅 Maybe because I'm successfully spending slightly 🤏 less time on social media. I've been writing by hand in a notebook, so that's been helping a bit with screen time. And here's Carmen having a snooze 💚

Me, writing: I'm using an em dash—my writing is friendly and excited! But now I'm using a semicolon to break things up; I can't use too many em dashes. Here's another sentence with a period as a buffer, proving my normalness. Now another em dash—I love them so much! #SummerOfStories

My mom will be visiting for the next few days. We'll be celebrating her birthday and finding some fun things to do (indoors, because it's hot). Anyway here's Carmen hanging out.

A collage of reaction images. A person holding their phone and sobbing while hearts explode out of them. A person shaking and sweating and blushing profusely with hearts around them. A person looking at their phone with wide eyes, sweating and blushing. A person with hand over heart and hearts around them. A person with a dopey grin blushing. A person blushing with their hands on their cheeks and hearts around them. A person slamming their fist on the floor and blushing with hearts around them. A person at a computer blushing, then with hearts in their eyes, then with a nose bleed, then in a puddle on the floor.
