@Writers What do you do with parents? My mc is a kid but needs to leave to another realm. What would you with the parents? #WritingCommunity #writing #writingadvice

Is anyone else feeling lonely on this app? I initially got it to build connections with readers and writers alike, but it feels like I have gotten nowhere. #feelingdisconnected #writers #readers #WritingCommunity #readingcommunity #discouraged

Finally ironed out the time-line of one of my WIPs. Procrastinated writing...feels like a hard day's work to me. Lol

Inspirations seems to strike at an inconvenient time when I'm far from my laptop or anything to write with. Have you noticed a pattern when it comes to your inspiration?

@jon_cronshaw Never

Are you over dragons?

@Nickyshearsby22 It depends on the tone I'm setting up.

How important is the weather in your writing? Does it help set the scene, or is it unrequired?

@Carolinerebisz I got rid of mine bc it didn't do much for me. I sell on Amazon so having a website seemed weird, plus no traffic ever went there so.

#WritingCommunity How important do you find having a website to sell your work? I'm seriously considering ditching mine as I'm not techie enough to maintain it and not sure it adds as much value as my socials. Thoughts fellow writers!

@katieemorann The characters. I don't plan my plot. I'm a go with the flow sort of writer.

Writers- what comes first: the plot or the characters?

No forcing, what flows, flows.

HOLY COW!!! My book signing was an AMAZING success. Sold completely out of one of my books. How crazy is that? I am SO humbled by all this.

Me: Time to sit down and concentrate on my writing Brain:

When you discover whose been keeping you from writing:

@Spookychild8411 I'm in the same boat. I hope it gets better!

So now I feel like I am a failure as a writer.

Writers- do you remember the first story you wrote?

Do you ever write out of order? I’m usually a linear writer, but sometimes a scene will pop into my head and I can’t stop. I NEEEEEEED to write it. I like it because when I’m stuck it gives me something to work towards. #WritingCommmunity

Every book you love was once an awful first draft the author thought no one would ever want to read
