Can anyone recommend a great book about the craft of writing fiction? Here’s mine: #WritingCommunity
SIX days until this smashes into your flashy little face. Get in there. (link and more info below) #WritingCommunity #FlashFiction #ShortFiction #AmWriting
What’s your favourite coming of age book or movie?
A great short story, in my opinion, is economical with language—always clear and concise. Every line is layered with subtext and subtle metaphor. The characters are complex; their emotions are clear without being named. The story reveals something new every time you read it.

Yes, up to 2500 words or so (about 25 minutes of reading), but only if it was formatted for readability on a phone. Reading a short story on my train ride to work might be better than doom-scrolling if I don’t have a book on me.

Most writers I speak with put some part of themselves into many of their characters (myself included). However, overdoing this can create a cast of clones. If you’re a writer, how do you keep from projecting too much of yourself onto the page? #WritingCommunity

Writers: how many drafts on average before you’ve completed a story?
My two-year-old is obsessed with excavators, bulldozers, cranes, cement mixers, etc. Anything builders use. He’s the only person in the city that loves getting stuck in construction.
Is anyone else watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix? I just finished episode 5 and it is absolutely wild. Can’t believe it is based on a true story. #BabyReindeer
What is the difference between literary fiction and general fiction, besides the latter sounding less pretentious? #WritingCommunity
If you hated the book, do you skip the movie?
Do you like reading old books? How old is too old? I respect the classics and I’ve read many of them, but these days I’ll rarely read anything more than a hundred years old.
Does it bother you if a novel occasionally has dialogue in a language you don’t understand?
I just finished the first draft of a 20,000 word novelette.
I hadn’t given much thought to character tropes before, but this podcast really helped me understand how to use them to make interesting characters that aren’t cliche. @AuthorAdjacent #WritingCommunity

Would you rather live in a mediocre reality, or a paradise-like simulation?
Grief never dies. It’s the immortal remnant of love.
I love science fiction and I respect the classics, but can the original versions of these stories ever be timeless? Or, does the gradual irrelevance of their ideas and technologies eventually doom them to obscurity? #sciencefiction

Folks, I've been convinced. @APoetForThePyre has a great suggestion for material to improve our editing!
Can anyone recommend a great book about the craft of writing fiction? Here’s mine: #WritingCommunity
@AuthorAdjacent @APoetForThePyre I'll have to check it out.
@APoetForThePyre "Superbad" but in World War Two.
@APoetForThePyre Love this community oriented goal.
@APoetForThePyre Both are solid things to learn/remember.
@APoetForThePyre What was it that stood out about this book in particular?
I live alone and woke up with this on my arm. Vampire? Or did I bite myself in my sleep?
@APoetForThePyre @james_guaj11177 Sadly relatable!
@ZsaffrynTerra @APoetForThePyre I write some of my best scenes while sleep-deprived. My brain just pumps out the good stuff.
@ZsaffrynTerra @APoetForThePyre Still make some good stuff, but I'll be lying in bed listening to music, and bam, a masterpiece.
@james_guaj11177 @APoetForThePyre That’s intriguing! I love hearing about experiences on the opposite side of the spectrum from mine! It takes all kinds to keep this world spinning 🥰
The horrifying realisation that when I start querying my wip I'm going to have to write a synopsis 🤢🤮
@APoetForThePyre @james_guaj11177 Prime cognitive hours are a huge deal with writing. I'm the same way!
@APoetForThePyre The Outsiders!
@APoetForThePyre Same - Army of Darkness definitely upped that humor!
