I enjoy learning more about the writing process from different perspectives. Watching Brandon Sanderson's lecture series, and several talks by Jim Butcher has been informative and enjoyable. Who do you look to for writing advice? #booksky #writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting #writing

Cold Iron Task by James J. Butcher. It's book 3 of a series, and I'm really enjoying it.

That's a really cool hook!

That's a great way to look at it. It's hard to put aside my inner perfectionist! :P

That's a great idea. I try to leave things as "finished" as possible, but it might be better just to leave a open note to fix/fill it later. Thanks.

It probably helps the project overall, but it definitely feels like stunted progress. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I am trying to up my daily word count. I find myself reading the last page or two that I wrote and inadvertently going into editing mode. I always like what I modify and improve, but it's really slowing me down. My weekly wordcount goal is 5k. How about you? #writing #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š #writingcommunity

I used to use the snowflake method. I'd work up from a sentence to a page to see what I think from there. It's nice to test the waters.

Plotter vs Pantser, Architect vs Gardener, etc. I fall firmly into the category of Plotter/Architect. I like to do lots of character and world planning before I get to the outline. I like to map out the major beats, and then do a little exploratory writing from there. How about you? #writing ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

I'm currently working on a novel for fans of Jane Austen, Bram Stoker, and Jim Butcher. I primarily plan to use this platform to talk about writing and books, but I'll also post about movies, podcasts, and music periodically. #amwriting #urbanfantasy #horror #drama #booksky ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š
