Hello lovelies, happy Tuesday! ❤️ I'm on my read-through for book 1, so ofc I basically rewrote most of chapter 1... But, now when I read that through again... I get REALLY suspicious when my brain has no complaints throughout a paragraph. Is that normal? 😵‍💫 #writingCommunity #writerSky

All right. So, what do you call the entrance/lowest-floor of an apartment building? Say one with three storeys, no basement? Bottom floor? First floor? I kind of used both, but want a word Most will associate with the ground-floor. #writerSky #amWriting #authors

All right, so the past few days I have shortened my script with about... 100 words. Of which 1/3rd consisted of the word 'just'. Someone, pls clap and tell me I'm a good girl 😢 #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting

Hello lovelies! I just wanted to tell you I haven't left, I don't ignore you! I just have serious troubles with my eyes + trouble reading/writing. I hope to get better. I can never be well, but I like my measly 5-8%, which I barely have right now. Thinking of you, guys! ❤️ #writingcommunity

Hrm. I just want to make sure; It is not Only me that after having to rewrite a sentence and then read the new, finding it absolutely perfect, utter a happy squeal worthy of Gabriel Iglesias as he sees cake? Right? 🤔 #writingcommunity #amwriting

#writingcommunity are you here?? 👀

*flops on bed* How come that although I Want to write, get further in the rewrite, find and evict those pesky typoes... I find about 100 other things to do instead? 🤔 Can someone just tell me to face that pc, plug in the pad and get on with it? *worms off to do dishes* #writingcommunity #amwriting

I get a weekly mail with (sometimes) writing-advice. Some weeks I read them, some not. The reason for this is because I tend to take said advice as critique on my own writing. A sharp poke saying I write 'the wrong way'. I know it is not. The one/s... 🧵 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writersky

Help! My brain is porrigeing! I am looking for a word. Something that means 'doing something' due to instinct. my sentence: '...deepened his kiss,<following> an instinctive hunger.' I need to exchange folliwing. o.o #amwriting #writingcommunity

What do one do, about that feeling of failure? When you wonder if what you try to write is worth all that? I still believe in my books, since I read them through more times than I can count and still curiously turn the pages. But what if it is just me? #AuthorSky #amWriting #feelingAlone

#amwriting #editorialPains After about 300 read-throughs (No, seriously! At least 72!), edits and revisions, I just spotted a(nother) plot-hole in ch.2 while reading through chapter 1. It is now fixed, to the delight of mc's best ftiend and great irritation of the mc, BWAHAHAHA! #writingcommunity

#amwriting #writingCommunity Ok, so... today's quedtion: Can one use 'Blessed be' as eqvivalent to 'Praise the gods' or even 'Horrah!'? I got the sentence, 'Blessed be, the gods smiled at him this night!' Which might sound odd out of context... Does it feel weird? Thoughts? Suggestions?

#amwriting Could someone tell me the right phrasing? '...was a privilege for the noble classes to...' '...was a privilege of the noble classes to...' The privilege here being to send for a certain something, which the less fortunate classes were not allowed.🤗 #writingCommunity #writers

I'm sketching my book-cover. It's an ongoing project last 2 yrs since I pick it up when my eyes are too poo for text-work, but not totally broken. The other day I had the bright idea to add a city crest resulting in me entering a 1 week heraldry rabbithole. Is it just me? #writingcommunity #authors

Revising/editing status of today: Attempted to cut down on words in chapter 2. After much work and nearly at the end... +12 words! (It was more but succeeded to crop around 20) Mind you, the text flows beautifully now, but it's not Shorter... Is it just me? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

As for me. None really. Generally they tend to get fleshed out, refined, cut down, added to, tweaked and shuffled etc. Though, even chopped off bits get reused elsewhere. ^_^ Iy's still in there, though.

#amwriting #writingcommunity I ask, in case I'm slowly being sucked into my own universe... 2 years ago I wrote 1 Merfolk scene where mmc has just seen the lady he wish to bond with and exclaims this to his cousin. Now this expression sneak in whenever Merfolk hint of love 🤔 Anyone else get this?

All right, let's do this, #WritingCommunity! Next Saturday (Feb 8), I'm hosting #CritPit, an event for #writers to find critique partners and alpha/beta readers. The event is open to all writers! Please share widely!

Some months ago I read a tweet where a writer said they had basically changed one word, moved a comma and felt absolutely awesome. I giggled at the time. Now, I'm exchanging one word for another, switch places of two sentences, move a comma... and feel absolutely awesome XD #amWriting #editing

Please Bluesky— connect me with other #substack #writers and #contentcreators who want to promote their #writing. Much obliged 🙏 #writingcommunity #amwriting #lookingfor #needhelp

How does everyone else do editing & rewriting to keep your energy? o.O I have reworked my first 9 chapters on my pad and my brain is pooped. I just did spellcheck of chapter 1 on my pc (including reinstall of Libre), plus smoothing it out. I want to sleep for a week. 🧸🫖 #writing #editing #needSleep

Is there a word? Ok, so I'm looking for a word to explain a gesture. The gesture I think of is that a waiter uses to show your table, or a nobleman that presents someone to a friend... usually open hand, palm up. Like indicating/showing something. But, is there a word for it? #WritingCommunity

I've always believed that adjacent things kinda almost count as writing, right? I don't really have any socials, so instead of actually writing, decided to setup a Bluesky account for myself. Who all should I be following here for writing-related chit-chat? #writing #romance #procrastination

Weekend ruminations. I know not all believe in rebirth or that we might have lived before, but let's play with thr thought? Question: What life do you think the earlier you lived, and what 'I wish I were' did they make, to become You? #WritingCommunity #Life My thoughts below 🧵

Editing advice? I'm trying to find a way to indicate an abrup halt to an inner monologue or thought. Google refuse to show any options but em-dash and although I can see the benefit of that in a spoken dialogue, it looks weird as the end of an unquoted sentence.🧵

Good morning, Blue! So, I woke up this rather inclement morning and one of the first things I said was a very Shakespearian "Why dost thou poketh my nose?", which was, in fairness, a valid question. What was one of the first things You said today? #WritingCommunity

Where did my weekend go? I had planned to spend HOURS editing and revising, but somehow it did not happen. o.o Can I get a reverse cluedo thingy from my friendly #WritingCommunity ? A Who/what where ,with what/or genre - to get me started with a microfiction to get the creative juices flowing! ✨️🤗

Good morning. Making the move from the other place and would love to reconnect with my writer friends. Where are my #5amwritersclub writing buddies? #WritingCommunity #writers #amwriting

If you're part of the writing community, could you please holla and RT so we can find each other? I want to build up what we once had on Twitter (but better) #writers #writing

This is a question probably mainly to #indie #authors When you figure out some detail for your cover that you're really pleased with, do you happily squeak 'Oh! Oh! Yes!' and feel all exhilerated? Or is that just me? 🤔🤗 #WritingCommunity

Question! Do pitch events ever happen here? 👀 #writingcommunity

This might sound weird, but I'd either locate the goblins, since they have the strongest magic second only to dragons or demons, and ask for a major heal/regen spell. Or, chase down a vampire and try to grt turned - since they can regenerate rather well. THEN I'd go party!!
