craft is writing badly, terribly, shittily, then less so

We don't want AI-generated stories. We want stories that are beautiful and weird. Mistakes and obsessions. Labyrinthine worlds; love poems that break us. We want the wild stroke of chance, the stray detail. We don't want soulless slop. We want work written by HUMANS.

i love writing novels!!!! researching the setting is AMAZING developing characters is FUN outlining is EXPLORATIVE writing a synopsis is editing is REWARDING sharing it is EXCITING

Being a writer means saying 'I just need to quickly look something up for this one sentence' and spending the next three hours down a rabbit hole of increasingly unrelated research

The biggest pleasure of writing is writing. Not publishing. Not awards. Writing.

This worked last time... 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 #QuestPit 🕯 Editor Interest 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

totally didnt forget questpit was today nonono!! totally didnt have the wrong date in my calendar and was excited for the wrong day!!!!

“When writing, trust your brain” My brain: - is irregardless a word? - wonder what’s happening outside the window? - how do you spell beauracracy? - what’s a synonym for “examine” - nice half-sentence, you deserve a break.

write badly! (unless you’re me) don’t push yourself too hard! (unless you’re me) save the edits for later! (unless you’re me)

my book has this as it central relationship except the characters are a farmer, an all-knowing ancient deity, and just a normal regular guy 🤭 its a very fun dynamic! i wish i could see it more !!!

we're writers. of course doing household chores or taking a shower unlocks fresh ideas for our book
