I recently learned that the ER sound that's so common in English and Mandarin occurs in less than 1% of languages worldwide.

So you’re really just referring to the need to study extensively, even on your own time

Are you talking about simply taking classes to hone your craft, or are you talking about full on degrees? If it’s the latter, that’s a hard disagree.

Writing poetry actually doesn’t require any specific training. It just takes practice just like any other form of writing. I’ve written poetry myself before.

Here’s a weird question. Why aren’t there more speculative fiction novels written in verse? #sff #poetry #SpecFic #SpecLit #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky

While trolling for interesting tidbits to insert into a story or to serve as writing inspiration, I learned that armadillos can glow under ultraviolet light. I apologize for nothing. #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky

Great. Now I'm getting weird ideas about a horror story about the rediscovery of a cursed diamond. #HorrorLit #SpecFic #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WriterSky #history #diamonds

I am officially banned from playing games on my phone. Unless, of course, I want to lose my entire workday to wasting time. Then, by all means. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky #WriterSky

Not yet, but maybe it will happen.

More the former than the latter I found. Makes my life easier, I suppose.

Not maps, necessarily. But I do typically have an idea of what different worlds look like. I have a lot of character charts, though.

Not yet, they’re pretty different from each other. Here’s to hoping it stays that way.

I switch between stories only all the time. I don’t even know how I keep track of everything in my head.

They were actually for separate stories
