On Plot: "No part can be displaced without ruin to the whole."
—Edgar Allan Poe.

What do we think about this? I agree.

Read over a chapter last night:
That moment when your character’s inner thoughts are so real and honest you can’t help but smile (and maybe laugh a little).

You don’t need to write perfectly. You just need to write.
Perfection lives in revision, not the first draft.

Happy Monday, #WritingCommunity!

"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don’t feel like I should be doing something else.”
Gloria Steinem nailed it, and I’m 100% with her! Who else? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

Why am I writing at 1am? Because apparently inspiration has a terrible sleep schedule.
If it’s not written by 1am, was it ever really written?

[KC is writing ✍ @KCwrites4eva]

Me, reading my character’s dialogue like, “Did you really just say that?”

Also me: writes it anyway because it’s perfect

Plot isn’t just structure. It’s precision. Intent. Consequence.
Every scene should earn its place.

With every draft, I feel like I'm learning the language of my characters’ hearts a little better. It’s a slow dance, but I love it.

@ModernApocrypha It really is. I feel like I could revise forever if I didn’t eventually have to draw a line somewhere!

[KC is writing ✍ @KCwrites4eva]

So… I’m never fully satisfied with my story, even though my alpha readers love it. Is that normal?

@RynTerra Right! 👌

My brain all day: “Writing is hard.”
My brain at 2AM: “Here’s a perfect love confession, an unexpected love triangle, and a really messy breakup.”

@RynTerra Love when the weather joins the writing team! 😅

[KC is writing ✍ @KCwrites4eva]

@RynTerra Right? My brain's like, “Sleep is for people without plot twists.” 😅 If only 2AM ideas came with 2PM energy.

So I outline like a plotter, but once I start writing, the story goes rogue. Plotter? Plantser? Is this how plantsers are born? #amwriting #writinglife #WritingCommunity
