Equally as pantsy is rereading the first act of the first draft after you've written 70k words and going, 'ooooh that's where I left the plot.' #WritingCommunity

Pantsing is getting 70k words into your fantasy novel before going, 'oooh that's where the plot's been hiding.' #WritingCommunity

Does anyone else feel like writing a novel is like playing tetris? Story pieces everywhere, they keep changing shape, none of them fit, there are so many holes, and it gets progressively harder! #WritingCommunity

The thing with only being able to write for 1-2 hours a day is I spend the rest of my time critiquing what I've just written in my head 🙃 Sometimes helpful. Sometimes really not... #WritingCommunity

So I have grossly overestimated my ability to write regularly, post on socials regularly, and raise 1 year old twins. Stay with me #WritingCommunity I'm trying!

Came up with a plot twist for Witchy WIP that had me grinning like a fool this morning #WritingCommunity when was the last time your WIP made you smile?

Finally finished a chapter that I've been trudging through for two weeks. #WritingCommunity

Shorter naps for the twins mean more frantic writing sessions for me 😵 #WritingCommunity

I should take week long breaks in the middle of chapters more often 🙃 #WritingCommunity

I'm so glad my MC knows what she's doing because I have literally lost the plot here #WritingCommunity #pantsing

So I know the first kiss between these characters doesn’t work where my pantser brain put it so I'm going to take the kiss out but leave all the delicious tension in 😈 #WritingCommunity

So I wasn't expecting these characters to kiss in this scene but it's happening. Felt hot, might cut later. #WritingCommunity

The twins have just gone down for their afternoon nap which means it's tea, snacks, and writing time 🥰 #WritingCommunity

Trying to recluse into a dark pit of working on my why choose mystery novel but for some reason my 10 month old twins need constant attention? What is that about? #MomsWritersClub #WritingCommunity

I haven't got much experience of reaching the second half of the second act when drafting but DAMN this part is hard. Why did no one tell me that this part is so hard? #WritingCommunity

I have a cold so no physical writing for me this week (the twins are also ill) but I will be dreaming up scenes as I attempt to nap when the babies nap #WritingCommunity

Witchy WIP hasn't burnt me out. I've just been working on her a lot this week and I am TIRED #WritingCommunity

I wish I could access Witchy WIP from my phone because I wrote this scene today and I really want to sit and read it as if it's one of my kindle books but it isn't a real book 😫 #WritingCommunity

When I started Witchy WIP I promised myself I wouldn't think about the possibility of a book two for that way lies madness and yet here we are... #WritingCommunity

This afternoon I can: A) Catch up on critiques - due tomorrow B) Work on my sub for my critique group - due next Thursday (visiting family means I won't be able to work on it next week) C) WRITE 300 WORDS TO GET WITCHY WIP TO 60K - NO DEADLINE Guess which one I've picked #WritingCommunity

Me giving the LI a pep talk: in your last POV chapter, the critique group thought your romantic attraction to the MC was a bit excessive, so this chapter we're going to tone it down a little okay? Him: got it 👍 Him in the next chapter: SHE IS A GODDESS MY HEART BEATS FOR HER #WritingCommunity

I cut a chapter from Witchy WIP last week because it wasn't working which obviously meant it shouldn't exist, but an idea popped into my head over the weekend and now I'm going back to it, on my knees, begging for forgiveness. #WritingCommunity

I'm not sure this character can suffer many more breakdowns but here we go again I guess. #Amwriting #writingcommunity

Me: I'm going to write a nice simple murder mystery. Nothing crazy, just a bit of fun. Also me, a panster: WTF WHY IS HE DEAD NOW? WHO... OMG PLEASE STOP. WHO EVEN DID THIS?! #WritingCommunity

My in-laws showed up for a surprise visit five minutes after I sat down to write 🥹 #WritingCommunity

After a whole week of at least one of the twins skipping every nap they have just both fallen asleep at the same time. TO THE WIP! #WritingCommunity

You're right, I probably should calm down and stop trying to turn all of my critique partner's plot ideas into romance tropes. #Writer #WritingCommunity

In other news my output over the last couple of days has been WILD #WritingCommunity

I need to wake the girls up from their nap so as not to ruin bedtime, but I am also on a ROLL with Witchy WIP at the moment and I never get this kind of time to work on it. Decisions, decisions... #Fantasy #Writer #WritingCommunity

Looking at my scrivener word count like there is no way I wrote 2k words today during the girls naps today but I DID #Fantasy #Writer

One of the girls woke up from her nap just as I was getting into a fight scene. Oh I hate cliff hangers! #Wrter #Fantasy #Pantser

One of my girls decided to skip both naps so... Baby cuddles: many Words written: 0 #momswritersclub #writer #nottoday

I restarted the chapter I was stuck on yesterday and it's going so much better today! Sometimes if you're stuck on a scene, changing the setting helps, whether that be the time, the place or even the weather. #Writer #Fantasy

Me: stocks up on herbal tea to try to decrease caffeine intake Also me: drinks one herbal tea every five business days #writer #problems

I think this is the first time I've wanted the girls to wake early from their nap and cut my writing session short #writersblock #fantasy #writer

Some days writing three hundred words feels as challenging as writing three thousand. The slog is on! #fantasy #writer

I have had an influx of followers, which is amazing 🎉 Hiiii! I hope you like random writing thoughts cos that's all I got ✨️ But I also have only about a quarter of a brain these days, so if I don't follow you back, please drop a comment so I can fix that 🥰 #FollowersAssemble

So I've now got 'hot ice cream man' WIP which is a silly little side project that I'm writing on my phone whenever I need to fill a few minutes but I'm not in the mood to read. #writer #writing

After a crazy but amazing week I managed 800 words today 😊 I'm inching past the mid point drama and looking forward to upping all the stakes next chapter! #fantasy #writer

Topping off tattoo day with Frozen on broadway (disney plus) and takeaway food 🥰 #bestofdays

I'm still working on Witchy WIP but I've also started a story about a business man who loses everything and returns to his hometown only to accidentally become an Instagram famous ice cream man who re-falls for his childhood sweetheart but she wants nothing to do with him OR DOES SHE? #writing

I'm going to see Disney's Hercules in the West End tonight AND go out for cocktails AND stay at a hotel without babies. To say I'm a huge ball of barely contained excitement is an understatement.

Is there a song lyric that encompasses your WIP? There are so many for Witchy WIP, but only one for the whole series. Tell me yours #WritingCommunity #EIA #SleepToken

With so much going in my brain day to day shower time is my 'solve the plot holes' time. #writer #fantasy

Okay, but hear me out. What if I'm not actually dyspraxic? What if I just have an overly attached and mildly vengeful poltergeist? #writer #thoughts #autobiographicalshortstoryidea

Progress has been slow this week. It feels like I've done a lot or rereading and tweaking but not much actual writing. How has your writing week been #WritingCommunity ? #fantasy #writer

Once again ignoring my house cleaning responsibilities to work on Witchy WIP. What have you ignored in favour of writing today? #writer #writingcommunity

After a long weekend that included the twins' first swimming lesson and a lot of family time, I am so so ready to get back into Witchy WIP today #writer #fantasy #writingcommunity

I should be using the twins second nap to prep for a weekend of visiting family but I'm too excited about this chapter. TOO EXCITED. #amwriting #writer #WritingCommunity

I was so excited writing the reveal chapter today that I've 'accidently' allowed the twins to sleep for an extra twenty minutes. I'm going to pay for that come second nap time BUT I've written 1.5k words, bringing the Witchy WIP total to 40.5k #writer #fantasy #writingcommunity
