I‘m listening to a 17 hours audiobook and It took almost 7,5 hours until the novel became interesting. What brought me this far? One character. A sidekick. #WritingCommunity #BookSky

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

The sheet cakes turned out well, the only problem is: it‘s too good. Someone should take it away from me or I can‘t guarantee for anything. Fortunately one of the cakes is for birthday child. 😅 #WritingCommunity #BakingWriter

I'm really looking forward to the 2,5 hours long documentary about Ennio Morricone I will watch later. 🥰 #WritingCommunity #MusicSky

Butter cake in the making. (A yeast sheet cake with lots of butter, lots of sugar and—you guessed it—lots of almond flakes.) #WritingCommunity #BakingWriter

They should rename YouTube to AdTube. Holy Guacamole! Feels like there's more advertising than videos. #WritingCommunity

True. Every writer experiencing a writer's high can confirm this. I remember writing 10,000 words during a single day in November (I'm not joking). Was I totally wrecked after that? You bet! But also totally proud and happy. No text generator can give you these emotions. #WritingCommunity #DIY

Must. Aha. 😂😂😂😂😂 Just a second, I'll— *wheezes* 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Okay. *wipes away tears of laughter* How to answer this? 🤨It is such a delicate, special situation, I need the right wording... Alright. NOPE. #WritingCommunity #NoToGenAI

It's no surprise that breaking news leads to a flood of memes across social media. As you share memes about the big news story of the day (and let's face it, many are meme-ing it), remember alt text. If you've never written alt text for memes, this resource from Veronica Lewis will help you.

It sounds weird maybe, but I wanted to go to bed on Thursday. Then I got a call. A long call. Now it's Friday. *sighs* #WritingCommunity

A short explanation for readers who think like that: If it wasn't part of the book, it wouldn't be IN the book. The same goes for acknowledgments, content warnings etc. You don't like them? Okay, don't read them. But expecially at prologues, you could miss some important infos. #WritingCommunity

There are some posts, to which one side of me really likes to answer, but no... I'll make a better use of my time, because there are battles to fight. *stretches fingers* #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #MusicSky #TwoStepsFromHell

“This supposed preference among men for reading about men as characters just isn’t true." Well, I could have told you that. news.cornell.edu/stories/2026...

This is Colby. He is movin, but more importantly, he is groovin. 13/10 (TT: ty2344583)

I'm back home. Tomorrow and Monday are holidays. This means four days off, so... imagine a very happy author. 🥰 #WritingCommmunity

Whatever AI offers you, it took from someone else. That alone is a disqualification. But if you go ahead and use it, you have no idea of the extent of the lift and if it's uncovered, you'll be liable

Godspeed to the Artemis II crew! Get back safely! #ArtemisII #NASA

The 500-page mark is reached! #WritingCommunity

Or find a group of like-minded weirdos who also like to write and brainstorm with them. Speaking from my own experience, there's nothing better than that, to solve writing problems. #WritingCommunity

Just in case you think I'm so systematic: A not so small fraction of informations for this story is written down on unused napkins, cash slips, parts of leaflets and tissue boxes and many, maaany more stuff. Imagine them displayed... it would be a very colorful and chaotic sight. 😂 #WritingCommunity

This story has more than 140 characters from human to non-human (except animals like horses), important to not important etc., but the *one* character I need informations about right now, isn't in the spreadsheet (no chance to keep track without it). But on my mobile phone, as I found out. *sighs*

I've totally forgot... #NoMusicNoWriting. Apropos, did I mentioned there are dragons in this story? Not tame, but proud and dangerous ones? No? #WritingCommunity #MusicSky #Audiomachine #TheHobbit

The anta of my story leaves messages for my prota at the places of his brutal deeds. Not nice ones, (like "lovely weather today, right?"). More the kind, which let my prota's grim desire to get him before his sword's blade grow very quickly. #WritingCommunity #PrepsForTheFinalFight

It's writing time for me and I won't use—neither now nor later—any genAI. Why should I deprive myself of the fun of real writing? #WritingCommunity #Nonsense #NoGenAI

Almost forgot, today is International Tasmanian Devil Day. #DFTD

I‘ve got my annual royalties statement this evening and still wonder, for what I should use the payment. Not because it‘s so much money, on the contrary. 😂 Right now, I miss the small shops of my childhood, where they’ve sold fruit gums for little money. #WritingCommunity

The Nautilus TV series... do you watched it? Yay or nay? #WritingCommunity

Seems like my keyboard got a little out of practice. Time to change that. ⌨️ #WritingCommunity #WritingTime #MusicSky #TwoStepsFromHell #ThomasBergersen

Sounds like a good idea. To have a punching bag instead would also be nice, but my neighbors surely wouldn't be as happy about it as I would be. 😁 #WritingCommunity

Me: What could I do, to cheer people up? To make the world a better place, even a little bit? The answer: writing stories! Publishers: ... *crickets chirping* Me: 🤷‍♀️ #WritingCommunity

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

Einer langjährigen Tradition folgend einmal mehr unsere dringende Empfehlung: Bitte nur die Uhren umstellen, nicht die Zeit - kann sonst zu Rissen im Raumzeitkontinuum führen.

All plants are planted, the balcony green again, spring and summer will be dominated by shades of blue, violet, yellow and orange. From now on it's: Don't. Buy. More. Plants. 🤞😬 #WritingCommunity #Spring #Balcony #Plants

I've just saw some shorn alpacas on TV. Shorn, except the fur around their head, so they had impressive flips... and I felt the urgent need to grab some hair gel and style their fur. (What I never would do. Of course. But imagine them with stylish hairdos! 😍) #WritingCommunity

I really should avoid even pass by that hardware store.🤦‍♀️ Four oxlips and two gromwell join the company of my #balcony #flowers. *mutters* Plus one plant, where looking away doesn't helps, because of its unique scent: lemon thyme. Surely in the top 5 of my favorite scented #plants. #WritingCommunity

Mistake #2 Coming home and sitting down. The dinner won't appear magically by looking tired at the stove. #WritingCommunity #HungryWriter

I've made a mistake and went at my way back home to a hardware store. They've reduced the prices of many plants, partially from six to one euro. *snorts* Now I own some ranunculus, forget-me-nots and small periwinkle. Oh, and a pack of ten pansies (some are bright yellow 🥰). #WritingCommunity

Depending on the story, there are fights, battles or wars and people die. I don't want unnecessary/nasty details or protas with joy in killing in my stories, but include the other side of the coin: the impact of those experiences on body and mind, like trauma, PTSD, injuries, loss. #WritingCommunity

Is there anyone out there who likes Denethor? Anyone? He's probably before Saruman in the Top 5 of the most unsympathetic characters, maybe even #1. #WritingCommunity #TheLordOfTheRings

Every time I hear Andy Serkis as Gollum, I wonder how this man and his vocal cords made it in one piece through the trilogies. #WritingCommunity #TheLordOfTheRings

Oh, come on! This is the second time, that one of the apples in a bag is rotten. Shall I send them pre-purchase to the x-ray or check-up, or what? 🤬 #WritingCommunity
