Writers/creatives: do you keep to a consistent weekly work schedule? And do you guard and protect specific time off weekly? I’m going to try to actually take weekends off (and am failing as I post this, turns out). What’s your schedule? #writers #authors #writing #Creatives

Fiction Writers: If your writing style were a restaurant, what kind of restaurant would it be? Fine dining? A greasy spoon? A strange little place hidden down an alley? What’s on the menu? #writers #writing #authors

@JackWillems1986 I’ve written and published more than 20 books, co-written two musicals (one was staged 🎉) and completed a lot (a LOT) of other writing along the way. I turned what I’ve learned in the trenches into a podcast to help me and other writers in the trenches. sites.libsyn.com/601345

Long live the 10 track, zero fat album. Long live the banger standalone novel. Give me concentrated quality I want to revisit again and again over lengthy, milky works I have to slog through. Scarcity protects prestige.

@kiragriffoo Hi! I’m a writer/co-writer of 20+ tabletop RPG books, two musicals (one staged), and a slew of other short fiction/projects. I am starting my journey into prose this year! Good to meet you.

Hey me, remember this please: Write the broken version, dummy. A wrong answer on the page is easier to fix than an invisible answer in my head. Put the fake number in the equation. Then revise until setup + build = payoff. - Love, Past Us

Writers: what’s the last FINISHED piece of work you completed, and when was it? I’ll go first: Hey shut up, I’ve got a lot of stuff going on, I’ll finish something here soon. Have you seen my brainstorm docs, though?

@AndreSmith841 Glad to hear it. And yes, I absolutely have. Even in a warehouse of a kind, literally. Agreed— here’s to the ones who Chase works after their shift ends. Sláinte!

@lhallwriter I can type pretty heckin fast, so I stick to that most often. Pen and paper these days feels really slow-- I only do it intentionally and occasionally for a vibe. I also love being able to access my writing from anywhere, so most of my stuff is in the cloud.

@thehjelliott Hey, thanks! I love to write geeky stuff of all kinds: dark fantasy gritty, neo pulp adventure, rusty lived-in sci-fi, trope-bendy horror, tabletop RPGs and more. What's one thing of yours you'd recommend I read?

@RomanceMona My current project is The Fiction Writer’s Toolshed, a podcast that’s intended to help writers of all skill levels build repeatable skillsets and finish more work. (On all major platforms.) Thank you! sites.libsyn.com/601345

I'm working on my curation of taste as a creative. Intentional intake, intentional reactive discernment. CRITICAL: honesty about my own reactions. Knowing what I like, and not being embarrassed by it. #WritingCommmunity #writerslife #writers #Creatives

@AuthorGoodwin I totally relate to this! Practice helped me get better, but character work is what makes me fall in love with stories. A beautifully flawed protagonist with a real redemption arc can carry so much emotional weight. Nicely done.
