Do you read poetry or literature to improve your writing? I know some (like me) also read lit and/or poetry for enjoyment. 😉 #WritingCommunity #writers

@SusanSavageLee1 Many times. You can love an idea but just not feel you have the skills or determination to bring it about. You give it a go but run out of steam.

@deanpb_author Not really supportive. It can be awkward. They think they know all about you and then you’re doing this other stuff, essentially in private, & it can make them uncomfortable.

I'm interested, of those that you've seen, which is your favourite opera?

@Kacey_Combs I basically cut anything I find boring. Also any minor characters I can easily do without. My early drafts are essentially plot and dialogue, so the later expansion is what I guess is called world-building.

What do you usually cut in revisions? Where do you find you need to expand your work? #WritingCommunity

The 4 characteristics of a pyramid scheme: Pay to play element Recruiting mandate Endless chain Extreme money transfer from the bottom to the top Doesn't matter if there's a product or service. That just keeps money flowing in the scheme, which is ponzi based, to keep it from callapsing in on itself #antiMLM #scams #PyramidSchemes #PonziSchemes

@elizarose159630 Because I’ve tried giving up writing many times and failed to do so I treat it as work. I just turn up like a bus driver at the depot whether I feel motivated or not. I always get through my shift even if I don’t feel like it, but of course most of the time I love it.

@Kacey_Combs I have done and it was very useful. It was a much better book afterwards. On the other hand, it didn’t do much for its commercial success. What I learned from it has been useful for other books, however.

Controversial topic of the day: Did you hire an editor before publishing your book? What about before querying agents? Why or why not is this a good idea? #writers #authors #WritingCommmunity

How do you feel about using AI as a writer? (By this I mean using it to edit, fact check, and provide feedback)

@ClaireLLLW81 Not entirely. I have a book to write and I indulge them enough.
