Hello
#WritingCommnunity

An idea of a thread featuring

#WritingBasics

is floating trough my brain

A space where we would discuss only basic concepts of writing

I saw #writingtips but that is more a showcase of articles etc.

The first tweet of #WritingBasics is bellow

@phoenixfire110 I would say bottom ones, 3 or 4.
3 has great smile and look into camera (that's missing in 2, smile is the same). 4 has a mystery look, intriguing...

@ChapelOrahamm This does seem to be a good plot.
Is that your non-writing wrist being surgered? 🤔 If yes, you might need a stack of paper and a good fountain pen 😉

@gp_ballard Would 6 hours do? 🤔 I slept 10 hours 3 days in a row 🥱😴

@ALGauthor I think, that the only thing happening in the morning will be you cleaning the dust 😉

Sometimes the need to recharge brings you to the spots of peace and beauty. #Thankful

@spookishmommy Red seamed to be the main colour.
Uniforms of royal guard, double decked buses, round mail boxes, even the phone booths were red.

@agletterman Just for a few minutes to pass a message to dad, after - death

@justin_author Nope, not for me.
Unexpected trip, treasure hunt, discovering new places & learning their history that's my thing. And it's fun. Not for everyone, but those who are on the same wavelength enjoy it.
Therefore I would not try to prove that I am fun

[Perry Truman @_PerryTruman]

@justin_author Why should I try to 'prove' that I am fun?
The perception of fun is in the one who observes.
More important than proving is to find out why they have such opinion. What they see as fun?
Real example: I am not into nightlife. Bars and disco? Cont. 👇

@mlzema I am not sure, but I left teenage years just before hitting 50

Now I am young adult, I suppose 🤔

@WritingGopher @barb_avon @geostylegeo Yep, that's the point
Second...

[Perry Truman @_PerryTruman]

@geostylegeo You MUST do self-edit

*Write without editing (at least 5,000 words)
*Put spellcheck on, fix (first self edit)
*Get a break
*Re-read, fix the most obvious parts (ask: what will happen if I delete this?)
*Ask β readers if they are gripped, bored, need more explanation
*Fix
*Editor

Don't wait for a Muse
What if she never comes?
Muse isn't fairy waving magic wand & giving sparkling ideas

Invite her as a date for a dinner
You don't wait until date arrives
You start cooking beforehand

Start writing 📝
Anything
Muse will come

@ColbyGreenwood5 10% charity, 10% for my education (books, courses, symposia...) in writing, 30% into fund for hiring editors and other necessary people to help finish and promote book if I ever decide to self-publish, the rest into savings.

@realeverywriter It depends whom they eat 🤔
