Just a writer scribbling in the dark.

When first constructing a story, the single most important question to ask yourself is: what kind of story is it? Is it a western? A romance? A science fiction epic? A little of all three?

Then ask yourself: What favorite stories of mine is it most like? List examples.

@its_jacksontime @danielsan4D Jesus, I needed painkillers just looking at that! Wishing you a very merry morphine Christmas and a rapidly healing new year.

@steved4ve I tend to agree. Seems very weird and pointless but I guess there’s an audience (other than me) for it.

Unless they do something radically different with the story, but from what I understand that’s not the case.

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” ~ Epicurus (Loved this quote from @tferriss in his 5-Bullet Friday email today)

@steved4ve @derinandthalk I quite enjoyed the parts when it was being an interwar spy thriller. Actually enjoyed it far more than the first one, but it certainly has serious problems with the narrative. Hard to say more without dropping spoilers.

The journey of a writer in a nutshell.

Inigo Montoya is one of my philosophical role models

Remember, writing isn't a race; it's a journey. Getting there is all that matters; how long it took you doesn't.

Take some time this weekend to put some pages into that dream project of yours and get yourself even just a few steps closer.

[Luke Williams @the_koolhand]

Great listening, and can confirm that the Regular Minimum philosophy @Massawyrm outlines here works wonders for getting ground covered without feeling overwhelmed by a looming page count.

People keep asking me if I'm going to write a book of my daily tips. Dave Chen and I decided to do a podcast about them instead. 10-20 minutes a week. Write Along, won't you?

You’re a writer when your first act after moving house is to unpack your laptop and finish that chapter whilst sat amongst the packed cardboard boxes that contain your life.

@steved4ve Well at least there was a whiskey flavoured silvery lining to that cloud 🥃😁

[Luke Williams @the_koolhand]

@steved4ve Any plan that involves whisky is assured of success. 😁

@its_jacksontime Damn it, I loved that show. It was the kind of concept that could have been a disaster but somehow managed to balance the offbeat tone, drama, comedy and weirdness perfectly.

@MHShepherd @steved4ve Do it

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Dear nearly every hotel in the world -- If need be, please make your rooms $1-10 more expensive and stop charging people for fucking wifi. In this day and age, it's like having a surcharge for toilet paper or water.

[David Tusubira @dstusubira]

I love it!!

[Luke Williams @the_koolhand]

You know you’re a writer when you’re moving out of a flat, sitting on the floor of an empty room, trying to get that chapter finished instead of sorting out your forwarding address.
