Father. Teacher. History is cool. Aspiring author?

[Aj Scott @Aj_Scott01]

I’m working on a series of intertwined short stories. I’m excited to get these started.

Do you guys prefer first person or third person povs?

Took a break from writing and fleshed out the chain of command. Do you build the world as you go, or is the world complete before you even start?

Is it bad to start another WIP…. I’m feeling this new story, already got the first chapter done.

I’ll still finish Vinny’s story.

@AuthorGFAllen All of the above

Have been in a slump this past week. Finally got the motivation to keep the story going! With a little re-write.

How do you get out of a writing slump?

Started using this journal for brainstorming ideas and outlining scenes. Really comes in handy for goal setting!

What are your current goals for your WIP?

@andrea_cerasoni I usually just start typing out my ideas. But I just got a new notebook and trying out writing them down first. Not sure which way I like better. 🤣

[Aj Scott @Aj_Scott01]

The story was changing…
Time to add a prologue and edit part one.

Do you hand write or type out your ideas?

Time to proofread it all now.

@Linnaeus_Writer “Now go home Romano. I’ll
think about what you said. I’ll have Chris call you.”
He puts his hand back on my shoulder, firm this time. A little push. Back towards the light. “Keep your head up, kid.”
