Crazy wheelchair guy. Aspiring fantasy Author. Lover of comedy, fantasy and sci fi. Probably a fae trickster.

Obviously the answer to "how's your writing going?" is:
" I'm traumatizing my characters."

When explaining a plot development in my book, I always say "the shit hit the fan".
"the shit has hit the fan" several times by now.

#WritingCommunity, I found the best way to combat writer’s block when you can’t describe something.

You draw the thing.

Even if you are bad at drawing, draw the thing and the words will come!

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

#WritingCommunity, have you ever drawn a scene out on paper so you might gain the right words to describe it when you write it down?

When friends are coming over and you don’t know what to do with yourself so you just hang around by the door and do nothing until you hear the doorbell ring

The worst thing about re-drafting is getting rid of whole chapters of material because they no longer make no narrative sense to your vision of the story.

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

I will never get a tattoo. 10% because it would be painful. 90% because I wouldn’t know what to get. I’m horrible at making decisions!

@NatalieKelda Well my novel harkens back to ensemble shows like Buffy. As such Nick is in a group of five friends, which may get expanded in later instalments

When your rewrites make so much more sense in the world of the story and the continuity you are creating. #WritingCommunity #NaNoWriMo

When you rewrite a pivotal scene with your villain and you make him even more of an asshole than they were in the beginning. #nanowrimo #WritingCommunity #redraftingthings

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

When you are rewriting things and the The plot is way different than when you wrote it the first time but it makes more sense! #writingthings #WritingCommunity

Canadian winter weather is why I go into self imposed hibernation. Snow and wheelchairs do not mix!

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

Nobody told us that writing the book was the easy part. Editing the book is way harder! 😓🥹

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

#WritingCommunity That writing feel when you delete a couple of pages because they weren’t plot relevant at all.

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

Curse of Fatal Death BY FAR!

[Jenny 🍉 @DimensionsInJen]

Which Doctor Who stories are the biggest memes?

Dimensions in Time is an obvious one. Fear Her too.

Watching Rocky horror picture show is my Halloween tradition.

Every November 1st, the fact that it’s #NaNoWriMo sneaks up on me! Godspeed #WritingCommunity

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

The feel when you discover that there is a better way to format a chapter after you wrote it, so you’re rewriting it but in order to do that you need to rewrite a whole different section of the book!

[J. Michael Davey (Josh) @wheelybard]

I feel like I’m bouncing back between Google docs and Microsoft Word. I literally don’t know which is better for my work.

Autumn has to be my favourite season. The colours, the trees, the leaves. It’s not too hot not too cold. Just mesmerizing in oranges and yellows.
