I know the end, but the way there is difficult. My problem is pacing those clues. Now, I'm trying to write each character/suspect evolution through the story and then, once I have all of them, throw them together and weave in between. But I'm pretty sure it is not working. Hence the back and forth.

Not really. I'm writing a murder mystery and I'm struggling in mixing the stories of the different suspects or the clues. I've been iterating for a week. 😒

I love how easy it conveys a sense of opulence with 2 phrases. Marvelous.

From which book is this? (Btw, I found the paragraph ingenious)

A thousand words are very good rate. I think I had a record of 2500 new words or something, but then took me several days to even write a single one. Better steady.

En las redes (que es solo lo que yo conozco), sí que lo pareces.
A mí también me lo dicen y lo relacionan con que, al parecer, tengo imagen de tía seria. Animalicos.

I've got a humility bath today. I've got the book. It has real not-crossed out pictures of crime victims. What a horror. It just kick me hard. Inventing a murder story is fun, creative. Being a homicide detective and dealing with it... All my praise to these people. #5amWritersClub

Man I always love hearing that librarians listen to our show. They’re always the ones with same-wavelength radical responses too. That’s the Target Audience lol

I have to be honest. I wasn't sure of being productive at all. But 2 hours in, I'm about to call it a day. 👌

Una pregunta tengo: dado que mis ejercicios de escritura son básicamente con profesores en inglés... Cómo se traduce al castellano el famoso "show don't tell"?
