@oliviamccabe72 I’ve just started watching it so the more PB the merrier 😂

@T_R_Writes Do you get tired of people talking about Peaky Blinders?

Hello #writingcommunity, in the continued spirit of connection, how about we all say where we are from? You never know, you mind find other writers in your community to meet up with and do write-ins. I’ll go first. I’m from just outside St Albans, in Hertfordshire, England. What about you? #amwriting #writerslife

#FantasyIndiesApril 10. I started writing stories in school. The night before an English writing exam I’d stay up late planning the story in my head 😅

@LindaMeadWrites Multiple 3rd limited

3rd limited is difficult to write as you must stick with 1. 1st leaves you with too many I's and me, me, me. Omniscient is distant, somehow, too removed for me to care. 2nd, don't get me started on 2nd. What's your ideal POV? #writingcommunity

@tonyhenandez790 WIP 1 - Jen WIP 2 - George WIP 3 - Aeryn (Wren)

What is your main character’s name in your WIP?

@StevenTBoers63 Roughly stand on its own but also have unresolved threads etc that lead into the next book. I don’t mind a cliffhanger ending.

Writing thought: I've always thought individual books in a series should have a full story of their own while having an overarching story for the series. But I have read books that don't do this and push you to read the next one. What do you all think?

@douglass_meghan Yeah. Anthony Horowitz has done it.

Do you think it’s possible to write a thriller in first person from the perspective of the villain without giving away the twist that it is the villain until close to the end?

@CaffeinatedLiha Station Eleven

In honor of International Women’s Day, name your favorite book written by a woman.

@Charlygotyou Yeah we did in the 90s too, just had to be home before dark

Stranger Things has me wondering.. in the 80s did most kids have this freedom to just run around at all hours of the day and night?

@CreatureAuthor I’m putting a (hopefully) new spin on mine.

Dragons in books are over-used and don't feel original anymore.

@BrandonMorehous I read whatever takes my fancy and write the ideas that don’t leave me alone

do y'all read outside of the genre you write in?

@Lovandfear I untruthed

If you're a writer, write “I lied.” Without writing, “I lied.”

Wasn’t expecting a title so soon, but what a great surprise! 🤩

@PJSkinnerAuthor - Enemies becoming lovers at a dragon riding academy - Enemies becoming lovers at a non dragon riding academy - Alive parents (always setting curfews, never letting you just get out there and save the world) - Grumpy detectives with tragic pasts (except Strike. Strike’s ok)

Tropes I could do without list: Dead parents (always the dead parents, sigh) Unwanted pregnancy Cheating What are yours?

@ayisi_yaw Always cereal first

@T_R_Writes do you also put in milk before the cereal?

It is a secret I was told never to share, to #sear into my soul until it was part of my very being, and that to dislcose it would be to kill part of myself. Please tell me. I’ll let you have my 1st edition Charizard - I put milk in before the teabag. #vss365

Kept hearing great things so I jumped on the bandwagon. #WritingCommunity #Reading

Day 15 #FantasyIndiesJanuary #WritingCommmunity

@Russell99695573 Sounds a bit silly. People are busy and have lives. Read a few in the genre, sure.

So I just saw a post talking about writing advice and one author said to read 1,000 novels in a genre before attempting to write a book in that genre. 😳 I’m 55 and don’t think I’ve read 1,000 books in my lifetime. Is this realistic to most of you? Granted, I know I’m not the voracious reader that many are, but 1,000 seems excessive.

They asked him to walk in a straight line. He held his arms out, concentration on his face, as if the floor was a tightrope stretched over a canyon. He began to walk. But her son’s steps, Jen saw, were #wonky. #vss365 #WIP
