Writing is like water. Sometimes it falls from the faucet in anemic drips. Other times it flows by the gallon. #amwriting #WritingCommunity #Writer

@bookscharming I understand the impulse, but think the efforts are misguided. Agatha Christie wrote those words. No amount of cover up will change that. I say educate instead of attempting to eradicate. Use better words to refute the ones she wrote that are worth challenging .

@PSLiterary @wilw his work on ready player one is amazing

@Nickyshearsby22 If I’m forced to choose only one, I’d say better preparation. I tend to get so excited about an idea, I start before I’ve done sufficient research.

@PSLiterary Elizabeth March.

@Nickyshearsby22 I try to start with the end in mind. Not a specific end necessarily, but a general target. Also, when I read it for the first time, I consider how my ending serves the characters, plot and themes of the story.

@Nickyshearsby22 Recently finished the heap by Sean Adams. Such a fun read. https://t.co/2xGyP7oL2L

@PSLiterary I can’t write to music. It sparks my musical creativity, and I end up improving for hours at the piano or guitar.

@PSLiterary There’s a few lists I use, but one I find useful is @nprbooks best of list. https://t.co/mKp46IuPQ0

@Nickyshearsby22 I’m a sucker for romance with unlikely couples. It’s fun to watch your characters realize their attraction.

[Batanguay @batanguay]

@Nickyshearsby22 Yes and yes, when the characters lead me there. Some of the most compelling parts of stories happens during the most devastating moments.

@PSLiterary The Hacienda by @isabelcanas_ A beautiful piece of speculative fiction with complex characters. Such a joy to read.

[Batanguay @batanguay]

@PSLiterary No. My handwriting’s atrocious. I’d never decipher my notes.

@scalzi The chewbaca technique.

[Batanguay @batanguay]

@byMorganWright I don’t understand the casual ease with which some people express violent intent. It’s as baffling as it is heartbreaking to me.

@J_RomanceWriter Mostly anything, although ancient history I have to read in small doses.

@Sailing_LaVaga Why scared?
