Routines & rituals, we all have them. What are some of your character's?
WIP 1: The MC vibes to Jazz music while cooking each night before prowling the streets.
WIP 2: At lunch, most days, everyone gathers between 2 buildings for freestyle sessions

Just been filling in some background for a #fantasy #story involving a Bat Goddess, the downfall of a colony and a swashbuckler and galloglass being crucial in the matter.

None of us were alive in the Regency. None of us are vampires. None of us have magical powers. None of us have been to Mars. Anne Perry aside, most of us have not committed murder. Write what you know would eliminate 99% of what I read.

Hey, writers....I'm curious.
How do you feel about the adage "Write what you know?" Good advice or bunk?

I've started playing piano again & I'm having trouble figuring out when to #write. I've had a lot of luck "anchoring" habits/behaviors with other things, but haven't found something to anchor writing to...
Does anyone else do this and have a time/activity that you anchor writing to?? Or when during the day/week do you write??

About how many pages into a potential comp does it take you to decide whether it'll be a good match for your #book?

Proud to report I did some #writing on my #WIP today! Writing time also involved a research deep-dive about Otrera, the first Amazon queen.
Did your writing research lead you anywhere exciting today??

Writers! Term is over and I can dip into a fantasy of having free time until it re-starts in January. I have a pipe dream of setting up a writers retreat but really I have only read #TamaraDrewe and seen love actually more times than I should.
So...
Have you retreated? What was it like? What would you want it to have, or not have? Were there lots of people (Tamara Drew) or was it a solo retreat (Colin Firth in LA)? Etc. Etc.

Hey #writers out there... I'm new and I see writing prompts here and there. I'm struggling through a first draft of a first try at writing a book, and it feels like I shouldn't make any writing effort on anything but that. Should I be taking "breaks" to write something else now and then?

Do you have neurodivergent characters in your book? How do they present? What are their conditions called βΒ is it the same as in the real world or something different or nothing at all? Why?

Do you ever get nervous when someone reads your writing?
My WIP is an adult fantasy with a whimsical tone and surprising elements, so I'm always worried about if I executed the theme well and get nervous when I have some look over my work.

what kind of jewelry does your main character wear?
In the work I #amediting, Drew doesn't wear any. Her ears aren't even pierced. She only wears a watch. In my #WIP, Lyssy has tons of piercings and loves to wear rings, bracelets, and statement necklaces.

Over on Twitter I enjoy playing writer games such as #Thurds, #SciFiFri, #WriterlyWipChat, and #WritingQ but so far I have not been able to find anything equivalent here on Mastodon. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
