@blueskyes I love evenings to just sit down with a good book and some writing... #nerd #writerlife #booknerds #aesthetic #fancyphotog

	@alexinking: Isn't long-hand so satisfying sometimes? Typing might be quicker in some ways but sometimes I feel I write my best stuff when I write by hand! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	@blueskyes: You write?! What do you write? I mostly take notes for work and journal long-hand, the rest I do on my laptop... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	@alexinking: Fiction! I usually type too, but especially in the warmer months, there's something about long-hand in a journal at a café or park! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	@blueskyes: That's so cool! Anything I might have read? I've tried my hand at a few short stories over the years, but that's been it. I've always been intrigued (and a huge reader of course, comes with my day job, LOL). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	@alexinking: Omg probably not! I haven't actually been published yet, but that's my big goal this year, finally ~finish a project. Also omg short stories are WAY harder than novel-length! It's a lot more difficult to make something short feel complete and satisfying IMO. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

@blueskyes: Same LOL. Not with the goals, just the never having done it. I'm always happy to beta read for people, though! Well, if you'd want a stranger reading it, lol, I ~am a stranger who's a full time writer and spent a couple years as a copywriter, after all :) I completely disagree about short vs long though! I don't have the attention span for anything longer than, like, 20 pages, LOL.

	@alexinking: Beta readers are angels, so how about a trade sometime? Fiction, though, I don't have the mental wheelhouse for non-fiction! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
