[Samuel Joseph @novicewordsmith]

This is why I always prefer to have another set of eyes look over my stories, @jimdempsey. Other people tend to catch mistakes I’ve missed. Via @WriterUnboxed https://t.co/w1TpRG8U9V

Is the gloom and doom in regard to AI warranted? @jimdempsey takes a look back, at the many times humans have faced major change, and forward, with an undaunted gaze, today on WU.

To whom is an editor responsible? To the author? The publisher? The final user, or reader? @jimdempsey speculates that to answer the question, one must precisely define what an editor does. Stop by and check out his answers, and weigh in with your own.

There's a common misconception that writing is easy. One just needs the time to sit and type. Others believe striving to improve is useless, as one either has talent or doesn't. @jimdempsey argues that it requires many attributes, including a strong will.

Every starting path to a reading and writing journey is unique, but they often originate with a mentor who understands us. @jimdempsey points out the importance of recognizing ourselves in the written word as we find inspiration to continue.

How do we engage all of our readers' senses? Editor
@jimdempsey argues that we do so by engaging our own. We can feel music, of course. Can we also taste a sound? Feel a smell? Stop by and get a sense of how this can help your writing.

@davidswatling @WriterUnboxed Thank you so much. I hope you're well and inspired for the next novel. Cheers

[Writer Unboxed @WriterUnboxed]

We hit points along our writing journeys when we need to stop and reflect, sometimes even change directions. @jimdempsey has had the opportunity to reflect on what he truly seeks from his own journey, and encourages us to do the same.

How do you, or will you, define publishing success? If you're looking to break bestseller lists or make millions, the odds are stacked against you. Yet, @jimdempsey shows us that we can all still have success if we define it in a way that's right for us.

Making it to the end of NaNoWriMo is huge. But how can you utilize the habits and goals you've established in November now that the hoopla has ended? @jimdempsey sends us forth with purpose.

[Writer Unboxed @WriterUnboxed]

Have you ever heard the phrase: "The best thing about being a writer is never having to say, ‘You should’ve been there.’" @jimdempsey explores the impossibility of perfectly capturing a moment in words. In the process, he captures why we all write on.

[Writer Unboxed @WriterUnboxed]

We are too close to our work to objectively judge it. Cognitive bias is real, and family and close friends are no gauge, either. How can we know if our work is any good? @jimdempsey seeks answers.

Are all writers over-thinkers? Should they be? "How has your overthinking helped or even hindered your writing? How has writing helped your overthinking?" asks @jimdempsey, today at Writer Unboxed: https://t.co/j4EhSZznhY

[Writer Unboxed @WriterUnboxed]
