Friends, where do y'all write, if you don't write at home #WritingCommunity ?

Mood board with the word "escape" bisecting it diagonally. Images of teenage boys glaring at each other, magic swirling around a puckered mouth, bared vampire fangs, a teenage girl looking at her phone while chewing her nails, a grimacing teenage girl getting her hair pulled, a close up of glaring eyes, a silhouette of a man kissing a woman, someone spying through a window, and a fairy wing are above the word "escape." Images of a high school building, hands bound in rope, a headshot of a teenage girl, a ballerina’s feet in pointe shoes, a silhouette of an embracing couple looking at each other, actors performing "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" on stage, a teenage girl screaming into her clenched fists, glowing magic in cupped hands, and a feather are below the word "escape." A badge reading "Killer Nashville Claymore Finalist" is in front of the pictures in the upper left quadrant.

The face that launched a thousand ships once belonged to a woman. That woman deserved to speak her own name, rather than have it echoed in time from the mouths of those who despised her.

Helen of Sparta - told from her own point of view.

Roding accidentally kills the terrorizing dragon, but without proof, no one believes him—not the outlaw town, the warriors of the ravine, or the ruthless assassin sent to finish him off. Can he save his brother and survive the chaos he's unleashed? #P2Ppit #Q #YA #F

Roding’s strange luck makes everything seem to go wrong—until his brother’s bride is taken by a dragon. Determined to prove himself, he teams up with Feoninne, fleeing her admirer. As danger looms and romance blooms, Roding’s victories spark doubts: is it luck or more?

There is always opportunity cost if you chose one thing over another. But I get my thoughts on paper, and that's something. And it makes me happy.

I'm with you :)

Hi #writingcommunity - would love to connect with all writers, readers and agents over here :) I follow you back. Have a wonderful day!

Hi there new friend

Hi!

Gruesse nach Berlin von Maine! I write YA Fantasy. Nice to meet you on here, Margot.

So proud of my client Rima Orie, who won the Dutch "Best Book for Young People" award in the category Original Dutch a few weeks ago, with her YA Fantasy/Horror novel WITHIN THE HEART OF WICKED CREATURES, English edition coming from Ink Road in 2024!

Hi #WritingCommunity I glad to see you all and love to connect! I'd love to hear from you and follow you back.

That's a great approach.

That sounds great. I need to have a clear end in mind before starting. That would make my journey clearer.

I like that. I sort of did try to plan out every aspect of the story, but soon learned, that the flow didn't like it.

"A Glimmer of Hope" - YA novel: In a grim town haunted by a dragon, Roding and his friends must defy fate and fight for survival after the beast captures his brother’s bride, risking everything to save their loved ones and their home.

Hi Clara!

🌟 Hey, #WritingCommunity! I’m a writer from Maine, diving into YA fantasy. I’m #amquerying my book, "A Glimmer of Hope," and excited to connect with fellow #readers and #writers here on Bluesky. Let’s share our journeys and celebrate our stories! Can’t wait to connect! ✨📚

Oh, yes, I see. Still - 121 is a nice number for one day :) Well, it's a great surprise to see you here.

You have 653 followers since yesterday??? How did you do that? 😮

Calling all writers: are you a hardcore plotter or a seasoned pantser? I'm a first-time pantser, and I'm curious about your approaches. Do you have any tips for making the leap from plotting to pantsing successfully?
