Sunrise or sunset? Which do you prefer? Why? Explain it. What are the colors, and sounds? How do you feel in the moment and about what is to come? What's floating in the air? Engage the five senses, and sell me on your choice of sunrise or sunset in only three lines.

In 2019, I started a Twitter account (@fraudesswrites) because of advice from folks in the writing industry who said it was a terrific resource for researching publishers, a space to hone my craft, and there was a writing community to connect with. It turned out to be true. I've managed to chat with thousands of bookish people on Twitter. Overall, it has been a treat. Still, there is a lot I could do without, like ads, and some of the negative posts or comments that happen. That said, I decided to create a forum and you are all invited.

This will be a place to keep in touch, talk: writing, book news, food, post cute pictures of pets, evangelize animal and environmental conservation, and to have fun. Share your thoughts. Add GIFs, videos, hashtags and more to your posts and comments. Get started by commenting below.

Who are you? Please, introduce yourself in the comments.

We want everyone to get the most out of this community, so we ask that you please read and follow these guidelines:

• Respect each other. We come from different places––let's try to relate.

• Racism, sexism, hate speech, bullying, or offensive comments are not permitted here.

• Please, no spamming.
