How's the writing going, tweeps? =)

[MJ Bush @writingeekery]

@WritersDigest Sorry to bother you, but the back cover of 21st Century Fiction still promises checklists at writers https://t.co/89D01HMYQo and it’s currently a 404

[MJ Bush @writingeekery]

@WritingQuest Give world-building detail through the character interacting with the world or giving opinions. Or by delivering news, “The river isn’t running uphill anymore! What do we do?”

[MJ Bush @writingeekery]

@BookSpotlight Pen name okay?

[MJ Bush @writingeekery]

@Bethyo Thanks. I’m having fun with it. Getting to write court/guild intrigue in a setting as wild as “a once-sunken city” absolutely delights me

@Bethyo “Light the sigil behind the statue.”
It’s in a note. Spycraft fantasy stuff.

[MJ Bush @writingeekery]

@bookmarkedone @Bethyo If a book is going on Bookfunnel as a freebie, it’s eligible, yes?

[MJ Bush @writingeekery]

Your character's backstory should explain their situation, not their personality.

...Also, NO ONE's situation is simple. Dig it up.

@rsrorb Thanks for the shoutout, Rebecca =)

One day I will learn my lesson and not write everything out of order. Today is not that day.

Writing is an act of alchemy. Of transmuting words and ideas into story.

Oh my god. Everyone. We have to do this.

Always this. https://t.co/bGntf2SOSq

Authentic conflict stems from differences of belief, opinion, and point of view. #writetip

I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was poem about everything. - Steven Wright

[Writing Quotes @_WritingQuotes_]

I like how a writing teacher once described a book as something that raises a question on page one, then has it answered by the last page.

[Brianna da Silva @Brianna_daSilva]

Drafting is about words on the page.
Revising is about fixing problems.
Counting words isn't helpful at every stage of the writing process.
