Quote to start a beautiful week.

The most interesting thing I discovered in my research today: Girls and women in Nazi Germany were seen as "emotional" but were also encouraged to react to things emotionally, creating a convenient closed circle of logic.

Ohh, thanks! Didn't know about that one.
The German Emigration Center is maybe the most incredible museum I've ever visited. Interactive stations bring the history of emigration to life. Moving, effective, eye-opening.

Bremerhaven! What an unexpectedly wonderful little town in Northern Germany. Highly recommend! Plus, it's amazing to finally see in person a place you've been writing about.

Officially this is Day 2 of my German research adventure, but I was too tired to post yesterday. Insight so far: DO NOT trust ChatGPT for directions in a foreign country. The ones it gave me were stunningly wrong, right down to the "landmarks."

Love the classics!
Sadly true
Good one!
Haha don't worry, I was describing myself.
Here you go :-) My coauthor and I deconstructed 21 classic novels to reveal the method behind the magic. It's a master class in narrative structure for authors.
Just finished reading Hitler's People by Richard J. Evans. Great book. One thing that struck me was the number of high-ranking Nazis who were talented musicians. Like, a lot of them. Music didn't have the power to redeem them. I'm trying to figure out why.

#Writers, what's the best writing advice you've ever gotten? One that's been on my mind lately is: a problem that your character can walk away from is a book the reader can walk away from.

#MysteryWriters don't neglect your setting! Here is a post all about how setting can work for you in your mystery novel.

Ha, yes.
True or false: a #writer is someone who sits in their pyjamas all morning staring out the window and calls it work.

Easy, right?

Congratulations!
#Writers, are you using the weather in your fiction to its full potential? Winter means snow, which means leaving footprints behind. Summer heat can amplify tension. Rain can create delays, reflect mood. Choose your setting with intention.

What's the difference between omniscient POV, deep third, and head hopping? It all comes down to control. Ask yourself who's holding the camera? If it's being tossed around indiscriminately, you've got a problem.

Couldn't agree more. I try to encourage my editing clients to be patient with the process but more often than not I'm also talking to myself 😅
Ha, this looks about right.
Sounds fascinating!
I agree, poetry by hand. I write some fiction by hand as well, but it gets so messy with all the crossing out, arrows... and my terrible handwriting 😳
Ha, sometimes I'm not sure.
Would love to hear from #writers who do some (or any, or all?) of their work by longhand. Not many do anymore, and I feel like when I make the effort, the work comes out differently. Agree?
