@pipscoutin I feel this 😭

I cannot express how excited this has me 👀 👀 👀 🔥

Btw shift away from world-driven doesn't mean "no worldbuilding", because there's still so much of it. Just the driver of plots and stories seems to focus so much more on character growth and relationships, and I want to embrace this 😊

My draft is progressing super well now because I decided to flesh it out. This is new—I usually start w/ruthless trimming—but the first draft was too sparse in the important areas, and too wordy in the unimportant areas. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So, padding it up first, then hacking & slashing.

< that are super outdated about exposition, characters, etc. Honestly modern fantasy works so much better with my brain. 🤷🏻‍♀️

As requested, here’s a thread of unspoken publishing “rules”/tips that aspiring writers should know about!

These are things I’ve learned from my mentor, or my industry network, or my agent, or personal experience!

Less active on twitter lately because *vaguely gestures around*...is there another social media platform where the writing community is pretty active? I know reddit is pretty active (I'm kunibob there) but otherwise I'm clueless

As someone who’s been in the pub industry as a writer, an editor, and an agent, I’m sending a reminder to all who need to hear this today (me included 😂): Agents/editors taking a while to reply to your query/submission doesn’t mean it sucks. 1/6

@AndreaGStewart Oversized! Reading requires me to pretzel and unpretzel my spine as frequently as possible, and that's hard to do in a swivel chair.

[Heather ☕✍️ revisions @HeatherWriting]

The only place I want AI in writing is maybe "change this exact draft from present tense to past tense because I keep switching back due to the tense of my previous work, for I am a doorknob"

@SavageKairn I am already in love with this character.
