Christina Anne Hawthorne<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 23 reader interaction2 days ago!BUT not necessarily a reader of my work.At the store, & after discussing tea, a woman asked my plans for the day.I told her I’d walk, then edit a chapter…[See conversation]Will she buy it? I’ve no idea, but she certainly made my day. In fact, I went home & edited like a woman possessed. It served as more inspiration.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WriterLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WriterLife</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fantasy</a>

Christina Anne HawthorneLast night, before crawling off to bed (i.e., passing out), I reached a milestone in my final deep edit of Trust in the Forgotten.Only 10 chapters remain (for math lovers, I'm 87.5% of the way). I can count down now.That's 10 random chapters since I'm doing targeted editing. For instance, I've not done chapters 1, 16, 36, & so on.Target editing prevents becoming a reader, thus forgetting to edit.<a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/AmWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmWriting</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritingCommunity</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/Writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writers</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WriterLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WriterLife</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/AmEditing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmEditing</a>

Tony PenninoThis landed hard. I love literature and the theatre. I love diving into other people’s work; I love creating my own. It has become increasingly clear (especially since the pandemic) that my work is not commercial and my “brand” (whatever that is) does not excite. I will never be on Broadway or off. But I have to live the life that is mine even though there is no goal beyond that. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/writerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerlife</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playwright</a>

Marie GreeneThis is my current view. I just need to read through this entire stack of pages tonight before I go to bed so I can submit this manuscript in the morning. My bedtime is in 30 minutes, so... wish me luck. 🤣 <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/Author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Author</a> <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writing</a> <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Knitting</a> <a href="https://realsocial.life/tags/WriterLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WriterLife</a>

Stephen Cox AuthorWell into the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rewriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rewriting</a> of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wip</a> When the writing is flowing is much better than when it is not flowing. But the best writing doesn't always come from a flowing first draft. For me, action scenes cause anxiety and always need a rewrite, even playing it out with diagrams. Yet they're never scenes which get criticism.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerlife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>

Tony PenninoI’m fascinated by the recent trend in rejection letters from theatres. The first paragraph is all “we love it” and “we think x, y, and z are great”. But then comes the second paragraph where seemingly due to a force of nature or the vagaries of fate or the caprice of Apollo they couldn’t possible do the play. Well, asshats, go make your sacrifices to Apollo and get back to me. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theater</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theatre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theatre</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/playwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playwright</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/playwrightlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#playwrightlife</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/theaterlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#theaterlife</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/writerlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerlife</a>
