barring tech issues, #Writeandwine this friday at 8:30 pm EST come join!
Hello all! I’ve run into some technical difficulties with #WriteAndWine post scheduling, so there will be no chat tonight. I’m so sorry for the short notice! Thanks for your patience and understanding. Love y’all.
don't forget to join me this friday for #Writeandwine at 8:30 pm est while i cohost!
Join me tonight, April 19th at 8:30pm for our monthly #WriteAndWine mental health chat! This week, we'll be discussing artistic criticism and how to handle it. All are welcome! BYOB. We hope to see you there!
the only good thing about today is Taylor Swift Anthology album breathing life into me as i am 97% sure i have the flu.
.@AlleyArticle and I will be taking some time off this summer, but don't worry - we're not hitting pause on #WriteAndWine. We're sending y'all to camp! And we're looking for Summer Camp counselors for June 2024. If you are interested, please DM me here or on the camera app!
That's all the time we have for tonight! Thank you so much for joining us, and be sure to thank @AlleyArticle for taking the reins tonight. Before you go, we do have an announcement. See my next tweet...👀
@AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A5: For a discovery writer, it is not vital at all. Their characters' motivations will appear as they write and may get rewritten after the end to fit the story that appeared. Plotters should have at least a basic understanding of the internal and external motives.
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle I actually had no idea how mine was going to go because I was originally using it to teach my ex boyfriend how to write in third person POV. We broke up and I took the MS and ran with it. #WriteandWine
@AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A4: Internally, Hannah initially does not want to use her burglary skills again, thus avoiding prison. However, as Cable threatens her, she realizes she may have to sacrifice that goal in order to protect her sister's family.
i used to. especially since i wrote romance. #writeandwine
i used to. especially since i wrote romance. #writeandwine
@AlleyArticle @lexvranick Yeah. I meant for it to be because disabled characters in literature are not something people normally see, so I wanted her to be relatable. #WriteandWine
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A4 Mara’s motivation begins as revenge for a life she failed to save. Then it becomes a quest to protect others as a new threat rises.
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle Her main motivation doesn't change, but the reason why she is doing it does after she dislocates the rod in her right hip, and her boyfriend dies the night of her surgery to relocate the rod in her hip. It changes her outlook on things. #WriteandWine
It didn't in the past. #writeandwine
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A2 A bit of both. Mara’s internal motivation is guilt. Mara vowed to protect someone and failed. The external is driven by fellow characters and how their actions guide her.
@AlleyArticle It's all three. My female lead delivers babies in the opening of my story and her motivation to succeed and prove herself drives her to push through everything, including pain. #WriteandWine
@AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A3: Hannah's exterior motivation reveals gives the reader more details on the cause of her imprisonment. They learn a bit about the relationship she had with Cable and how utterly ruthless Cable is when he wants to achieve a goal.
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle #WriteAndWine A3 Mara’s motivation is based on an ancient vow of vengeance. She is sworn to avenge a murdered princess. It has everything to do with her backstory.

It’s a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album. ✌️ I’d written so much tortured poetry in the past 2 years and wanted to share it all with you, so here’s the second installment of TTPD: The Anthology. 15 extra songs. And now the story isn’t mine…
I’m really just supposed to go to work like it’s a normal day after a surprise anthology drop of flawless heartbreak songs smack dab in the middle of poetry month? Taylor Alison Swift, you absolute ✨mastermind✨. Let me live.
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle I would say that it's both. Renae wants to be left alone to continue her work/research in peace, on the other hand, she wants people to come find her so she can test out her magic and spells.
@AlleyArticle Thanks for tonight. Finishing my Friday evening on a good note.
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle Cheers to the both of you and thank you for helping me finish my Friday night on a good note. See y'all soon.
@lexvranick @AlleyArticle It's a little of both. I write down the main goal of each character, but their personalities, likes and dislikes reveal themselves on their own as I write.
