One thing I have learned is that beta readers are essential. I love my readers and take their comments to my heart. Lot's of love going out. ❤️ #amwriting #writer #WritingCommunity #writerslife

I'm looking for friends who write. My genres are dark fiction, romance, and erotica. But I feel lonely. :-( Sweden is such a small place for a writer. If you feel like getting in touch write a comment. #amwriting #writer #writerslife #writers #WritingCommunity

@Authenticbekah I can see you! :-) I am also a loner on X. I struggle to come up with anything witty. I just comment a lot.

Currently letting my book stew a bit before editing. Writing short stories instead. What are you up to?

@katieemorann Hi! Swedish writer, currently working on a book, also looking for more writing friends. Not super active on X but I do read and respond

@faultyharb I try to make my first draft i 3 months time. But sometimes it takes longer.

[KWJ @kwj_se]

@AuthorFranWong Currently very badly 🤣

[KWJ @kwj_se]

Life is hard right now. I am exhausted, my brain doesn't work and my tummy is a wreck. Trying to write but the words just won't come out in order. What to do?

[KWJ @kwj_se]

The thing about #writing is that it's a lonely sport. But as a writer you just have to push through that loneliness and soldier on. Good things will happen!

@ShelbyW25459354 I write on a laptop, it's faster than handwriting. I get my ideas out quickly and it is easy to edit afterwards.

@FranWongWrites Yes, and it's such a learning experience. It's refreshing.

@thomgrantbruso I have all these stories in my head that needs to be put on paper. Once they are in plain sight on said paper they leave my head alone. But new ones come and it all starts all over. I guess I was ment to do this.

[KWJ @kwj_se]

How much time do you invest in a first draft. I give it 3 months, but I have a full time job too. Am I slow?

@faultyharb I try to plan as much as possible but as I progress with the writing the characters take over the story and I need to edit the original plan. I always get to the finish line so I don't mind letting go of the control. I find it makes the story more fluid too.

@bria_110 Mentally, I never left 27. My body had another plan.

@_prichaya My first WIP was a mess. I just jumped in and wrote. Didn't get beyond 50000 words. Then I read books and now I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing. Still, there are challenges. I'm writing book 2 now while book 1 is composting, awaiting editing.

@stormrosewriter I plan in Scrivener in great detail. I've created a custom template that includes scene cards, character planning, and simple plot structures to be used and reused. I find keeping my planning documents and my manuscript in the same place very helpful.
