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!
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.

@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.
@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’).
@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 🧑💻
@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 🥳
