Write every sentence as if it was your last.

Just wrote a post over on my WriteFreely blog, Insert Placeholder Here, about good books on the craft of writing.

You might find your next favourite, or something that helps you fix that tricky chapter, like I did. (It’s what I’m currently reading and joint No.1 pick.)

Boost, and you might help someone else find their new favourite too!

Also I finally got around to writing on my WriteFreely blog again. This post is called Ourobouros, and is about consuming media for inspiration. I wrote it after a few glasses of wine, so bear that in mind.

#writingthoughts Always nice to hear what you write is creepy af #writingworld #writersofmastodon #writingspace #Writers2022 #creativewriting #horror #writingaboutwriting #writing

#writingthoughts I write, horror mostly. Between wondering just what media I've consumed to come up with some scenes I've written, this beastie in my current WIP, is ripping the piss. See, it misbehaves, as creatures of mine do, one literally went "Kill everybody?" and murdered my cast. This beastie wants more people to know about it, specifically MC's friend. Oh the joys.

It's been a weird, almost zen practice coming up with shorter sentences and clearer words to translate to Esperanto. I've a bit embarrassed by just how much my language was influenced by watching Buffy at a formative age. I mean, how the hell do I translate supergroovyFrankenwords when I have to sit and think how to communicate "gift card"? Maybe it'll come in time. Rest assured that I'm a little more eloquent than my Esperanto diary entries indicate.

5th edition of #writingaboutwriting is out! Continuing the work of how we change writing instruction in this country, and expanding how we teach rhetoric. First users of this edition are at Sai University in India. Taught me a lot about the challenges of permissions!

Screwed up my Recent file list by going through the manuscript (which I saved by chapter) of a previous novelette to get the names of characters for notes on a new novel (technically a sequel). I still don't know where the novel is going but I have time.

Whether I go with this one or not. #writing #WritingAboutWriting
