@lonelyboy1977 @bookstodon I’ve used one trademark name in a non-fiction book because it describes how the people use it in real life.

So, does that mean that until you open the book it is in fact both read and unread? 🤔😜

@AuthorHelp @authorindiespeak @writingcommunity This looks cute but you do realize AIs can also embed <img src="..."/> in their code, right?

@AuthorHelp@social.authorhelp.uk avatar

@VeniaSilente @authorindiespeak @writingcommunity Yes, of course. Just like a human could display a "bestseller" badge even if none of their books have been a bestseller.

It's not our idea, just something we saw and thought was interesting.

Finished up edits on another draft of the novel. Hooray!🎉🎉🎉

Any takers for a beta read for a 175k word low, dark, fantasy? I know it's a heavy lift and would gladly swap or help out in some other way. Thanks!

@willelm @bookstodon I don't have any experience beta-reading, but I would love to.

@willelm @bookstodon I'm head down in an overhaul of my own, but should have some time after Thanksgiving. That's a nice, clear list of what you're looking for, but the way, thank you! Er... Is there any sort of direct message in Mastodon where I can give you an email address? Still finding my way around.

#WritersCoffeeClub Ch 3 Nbr 8 — What does your most productive writing space look like?

This is my most productive writing space. It includes a keyboard and trackpad glued to my treadmill, a monitor above mirroring my iPadPro to the right, a Apple TV puck, a Homepod mini, and coffee.

I get more revision done here than anywhere else, and some composition, too!

"So a lot of all your writing happens on - wait. Is that a treadmill?"

Shhh! Don't tell anyone, but /I'm really a hamster./ That's my hamster wheel. It allows me to get my writing tasks done while getting my aerobic exercise during a busy day (most of them). ~2.8 mph. Remember, I also read aloud to proof my stories...

@NickEast @writers @writingcommunity @writing @humour There’s a story that when Cristiano de André, son of the Italian singer-songwriter Fabrizio de André, was asked in school to write an essay about “What does your dad do as a job?” he wrote a one-word answer: “Sleeps.”

It's been a while since I worked on my set in the alternate Crimson Red Timeline. After reading the six chapters I have so far, I decided to do some planning to make future chapters easier.

First, I did some lineups for the Gym Leaders. Then, I drafted the lineup Red will use at each major City. Some time tomorrow, if I am not too busy, I will do the same for both Blue and Green so I know where they're at each time they pop up in the story.

The story doesn't require too many extra characters, as I focus on incorporating the Pokemon as characters. It's important because Red is written to be Autistic and is reserved around most people, but very comfortable opening up to his Pokemon.

If you want to catch up on the story so far, before I start cranking out more regular updates, here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/3bxy6txr

Feel like I haven’t written anything in ages. Need to correct this urgently. Anyone any tips for finding time? I’ve no shortage of ideas 😂 @writers

Install a decent notes app on your phone that allows you to draft in stolen moments.

Lots of my stories start life as notes on my phone.

@lextenebris@vivaldi.net avatar

@dav @writers You don't find time. You make time. And if you're not making time, there's a reason that you're not making time.

Figure out the reason and the time shows up.

Sometimes the reason is that you really don't want to write, which is the worst reason to find.
