I told myself "no Twitter until you finish your second draft".
So I did! ๐ฅณ
Glad to be back, everyone. Time to work on the third draft! #WritingCommunity#writersoftwitter
@Dragon_day7_6 When reading, I have issues with rereading the same line multiple times. When writing, I have a serious problem even STARTING, followed by continuing focus.
What is some weird little thing you'd want to have a say over if your book was turned into a movie? Something you wouldn't immediately think about, like the costumes have to be hand-finished or a character who needs a bad hair day in a specific scene?
"Guys, I figured out the Ultimate Evil's weakness! He's got ADHD."
"Okay, but how does that help us?"
"He doesn't feel like conquering the universe. Something else distracts him from doing what he wants."
"Brilliant! Gift him Minecraft, that'll stall him." #WritingCommunity
@L_Smith_Writer Some rejections are better than others, but they are all better than being ignored. What I'm saying is I hope every writer gets rejected.
(then accepted)
A consistent, congruent story is not created all-at-once, and don't feel that yours has to. There are going to be holes you'll fix later. You might even have dead weight--but that's why there are second drafts. #WritingCommunity#writingadvice#writersoftwitter
@rigbeescabin The protagonist and antagonist are often on either end of a Tug of War battle. Their wants and needs are in conflict. Conflict. That's what story arcs consist of: the ongoing conflict of the protag's wants and needs, and their clash of the antagonist's.
@rigbeescabin They're broad subjects, so there's quite a lot to talk about--too much for Twitter's character count that's for sure! Generally though, a story is about a characters' wants and needs, and what they'll have to do--NEED to do--to obtain it. 1/2
