The X is a bit much guys… I think that’s the final nail in the coffin. Thank-you #AusWrites crew for keeping here longer than I otherwise would’ve. I’ll still be on Facebook, Instagram and now Threads under ‘ntaylorwrites’.

#WritingCommunity and #AuthorsOfTwitter… Good luck!

It’s 8am.

The kids are still asleep. Even the dog is still asleep.

I don’t know what is happening but I am all for it!

Happy Wednesday #6amAusWriters. May your houses be warm and your words free-flowing 🥰

Monday felt like an entire week. In these instances, Tuesday should just become Friday.

@emilywrayburn How many eggs does Gaston eat now he is the size of a barge?

@KDKells I have done this with discretion and disgression 🤯

A few months ago I spent an awesome charity ‘Writing Weekend’ at the @qldwriters center.

Over that weekend, I finished first drafts of three short stories that now make up half of this collection: Puppies, Pizza, Magic & Murder.

According to my wife—this is an acceptable amount of milo 🤯

@HLCarter_Author I stopped in the mid 30s after multiple full requests came back saying the concept wouldn’t sell in today’s market. I tried to write something else, but kept coming back to that story.

Now I’m publishing it as an indie. and I honestly love the freedom and control.

@xavi87319 @GoblinWriter @Parvenu62 It’s true, current AI makes for terrible creative writing. My worry isn’t for right now, it’s for a few a years into the future. This technology isn’t going to stop developing and getting better.

If we wait until AI is capable of writing a serviceable novel, it’ll be too late.

Curse you spliced sentences!

@AlyssaMatesic When writing a viewpoint character’s internal dialogue, is it acceptable to use second person voice? I often do this and I think it’s because my own inner dialogue is in second person (when I burn my toast I’ll think ‘you idiot’ instead of ‘I’m an idiot’).

[Nathan Taylor @NTWrites]

@O_Dickerson3 1. Yes (short fiction in magazines, self-published for novel length fiction)
2. I’m fairly active on the self-pub and writing subreddits on Reddit
3. Time. Family and day-job are the biggest priority. Maybe I’ll be able to do more writer support when the kids move out of home 😅

Alas, school holidays are over and it’s time to hang up my ‘writing shoes’ for another term. Now, to dive in to lesson planning, classroom timetables and differentiated assessment 🧑‍💻

[Nathan Taylor @NTWrites]

@michelle_bourke I’m sure there would be—I think there’s an ‘Australian Speculative Fiction’ group on Facebook. There’s also the #AusWrites and #6amAusWriters on here.

Otherwise maybe we just need to form such a group 🥳

Farewell Barista Bro’s choccy milk. I will miss you 😢

@michelle_bourke Definitely, but only when it’s full of contention 👿
