❓Do you set aside a regular time each week to practice your writing apart from your project? ⏰✍🏻 If not, why not? #writingq #writer #amwriting #writinglife

How to start revising after finishing your story's first draft? Check out this short blog post by Friedman's guest, Monica Cox. I love her tips, like reading your work on a device different than what you wrote on. Revision hint? Start big. #amwriting #amediting #writers #writingcommunitity #writingq

Why Your Revision Shouldn’t Start on Page One | Jane Friedmanjanefriedman.com Just as you wouldn’t paint a house under construction, you need to revise with an eye on story structure before you dress up the writing.

This is fantastic! (Posted from The Writer's Circle off FB) #writingcommunity #writing #haiku

I came back to the presidential meme I posted yesterday and realized it looked like I advocated something bad. That was not my intent. This revision, hopefully, shows better what I meant. Basically, I'm dismayed by our choices. Sorry about the former one, folks.

I closed six browser tabs today. I will not disclose how many more I opened. 😶‍🌫️ #browsertabjunkie #writingcommunity #editing #writinglife

I knew I was a browser tab junkie, but I didn't know how bad until I had to reopen them all and the window said 136. 😵‍💫 #writinglife #writing #editing #writingcommunity #browsertabjunkie

Hey, @deckblue, why is text tripping all over itself across the platform, when I type and in posts? It's really hard to use this way. Spacing is all bad.

When your blue light glasses make things more blurry, you do what you gotta do. 😂 #writingcommunity #editor #writing

I just stumbled upon a self-pubbed book with one of my fave Pixabay images as the cover design. If you're gonna go free, change or add to the image so it's not a straight cut and paste. The last thing you want is potential readers saying hey, I saw OR USED that image... 😖 #writing #writer #selfpub

What do you do when you fall out of love with your stories? #writingQ #writingcommunity #amwriting #writers

1. Write story. 2. Struggle to find market. 3. Compromise subbing to a smaller market, deciding it better than nothing. 4. Wait. 5. Find a better market. 6. Can't sub because they don't take sim subs. 🤦🏼 7. Bang head on desk. 8. Write new story. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying #writinglife

What is your favorite writing and editing music? I love Two Steps from Hell, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, and dark, epic ambient music playlists on YouTube, especially when working on spec fic. #writing #writingcommunity #editing #specfic #writingQ

I have a nasty headache, so no editing or writing for me right now. It's good to know when to step away for a while and recoup. Rest counts toward quality work as much as the work does. #writingcommunity #editing #writing

Writing is hard sometimes, it takes all you've got to really sit down and write. But when your writing really works, there's nothing quite like it. #amwriting #author #writing

I made a typo in a post yesterday. It wasn’t the first and won’t be the last, especially with struggling eyes waiting for their coming help, but editing encompasses so much more than not making typos in composition. Thank goodness. Still, typos pain me. You? #amediting #writer #writingcommunity
