I'm all here for #MondayMotivation for creatives!
It can be hard working in isolation, so I find that some virtual cheering in the community is good for my #MentalHealth. Also moving from the bird site to here seems to help me calm down.

For my #Writing #AmWriting pals: how do you go from words on pages... to actual structured chapters, parts, manuscripts?
For context:
I started posting a #MondayMotivation blurb on Facebook back in 2015, and kept it up every Monday for about five years (if you are in the m*taverse, you can actually find those at #MayasMondayMotivation. People used to check in with me if they hadn't seen one posted, so they were popular.
I want to honor that time in my life, somehow. Thoughts? #WritersChat

Whilst I wrote this story 8 years ago I always felt it needed illustrations. Thank you Issy Blackhurst for your beautiful paintings. We did it. Available just in time for Christmas. #writerschat #writers @writers
Which #writing software or program(s) do you all use?
I used Wavemaker for my first two novels, followed by Google Docs/Microsoft Word (and Vellum for formatting). Now I’m using DabbleWriter which is similar to Scrivener. What do you prefer and why?

This might not be the most professional thing to post, but it’s very real and I’m tired of not acknowledging it: writer’s block.
If you have it, you’re not alone. I hope this is somewhat encouraging. The important thing is not to give up. #WritingTips

Hi #writing friends! It’s disgustingly early & I’m waiting for a flight & in need of distraction. So…ask me all of your burning writing, #revising, #querying & #publishing qs. Qs on #drafting, world- or character-building, writing a #series, #writersblock, pantsing vs #plotting, mucky middle? Send them my way!

@miriamgershow Hello, welcome to the writing.exchange! The best way to find people and conversations, other than our lovely local timeline, is to search for #hashtags. If you click on the #writer tag that you wrote in your post, you'll get results from people all over. You might also be interested in #WritingCommunity and #WritersChat. You can search for genres, hobbies, interests, all sorts. Anyone who used the tag in their post will then show up!
#writerschat #writingcommunity #writer #hashtags
@alexis_ames use the hashtags #WritingCommunity, #WritersCafe and #WritersChat! Hoping to get these off the ground because I agree re: trying to find people.
#writerschat #writerscafe #writingcommunity
I suppose now is a good time to mention what I’m working on:
Aestus is my epic dystopian #climatefiction series in which a group of survivors have built an underground city that holds deadly secrets. It’s “complete” (can be read as such!) but I’m trying to expand it. See summary in pic.
I write silly alien short stories/flash fiction.
Currently working on a Kindle Vella dystopian serial, hopefully to become a novella

@graythebruce @doucette515 @wordsmith pardon my ignorance, what’s #MetaPen?
I’m happy to help! How are you finding traffic data?
So far we have #WritingCommunity (general looping in/this was what we used on Twitter/can hopefully be a catch-all for people who joined other instances but want to participate) and #Writerschat + #Writerscafe for discussion (“what do you think of [WIP questions],” “I have thoughts on querying,” etc.).
#writerscafe #writerschat #writingcommunity #Metapen
Update! (Thanks again @doucette515) - for accessibility, please capitalize separate words in hashtags:
#WritingCommunity (general looping in)
#WritersChat, #WritersCafe (discussion)
#writerscafe #writerschat #writingcommunity
@szattwellauthor one thing @wordsmith mentioned is that capitalizing the first letter of each word in the hashtag makes it more accessible for those who have text to speech devices. Could I suggest #WritingCommunity #WritersCafe and #WritersChat ? If we do that right off the bat hopefully others will pick up on it too.
#writerschat #writerscafe #writingcommunity
@wordsmith thank you! Also just posted about hashtags - for all the newbies from Twitter (incl. me haha) I think using #writingcommunity to help others find us would be helpful, as well as #writerschat for general writing discussion. Just a thought. 😊
#writerschat #writingcommunity
Hello! Since many of us are new from Twitter (and have joined various instances) and I for one am unclear on hashtags here, may I suggest ppl continue to use #writingcommunity to bring together users as well as (thx @doucette515 !) #writerscafe or #writerschat for craft/pub. discussion? There could also be #YAwriters and #MGwriters but as I am in neither group…
I realize I’m new, but very excited to be here! Suggestions welcome!

#MGwriters #YAwriters #writerschat #writerscafe #writingcommunity
@wordsmith @doucette515 my brief look through the hashtags says no, but I love this! We could do #writerchat or #writerschat (or both), in general, and maybe more specifically #YAwriterchat and #MGwriterchat for those two (huge) groups. (If people want to specify grimdark or adult/NA or whatever, they could as well - I would prob just use the general hashtag for mine.)
