Amigos aqui pela internet: alguém regressou a Portugal após viver e trabalhar noutros países? Conhecem alguém que o fez? Gostava de entrar em contacto com malta para um artigo que estou a escrever. Obrigada!!

@SICNoticias Que clickbait idiota, @SICNoticias. Nem sequer foi no mesmo "país asiático". Por amor da santa

@AlyssaMatesic Thank you so much for this! Currently writing a first draft of a story and this is so helpful 😊

- Whose story is it? - What is the most important plot line and conflict? - What POVs absolutely need to be there? Once we have these answers, we can streamline & focus the story around them, ensuring we’re only including subplots & additional POVs that serve the main narrative.

As a developmental editor, my job is to help authors find the true heart of their story. To do that, here are 3 questions I ask every author to answer: 🧵

@brclothwrites Hi! My mother language is actually Portuguese. I've been fluent in English since I was maybe 13 or 14 , fluent in French since I was 16. Currently trying to master the art of conversation in Spanish

Do you speak another language fluently besides English? I’m always SO impressed with people who are bi-lingual or more!

@RachelGlickler Silence for writing, calm soundtracks for editing

Writers, music or silence? Or, like me, the happy screams of children and the barking of the dog...

Twitter people, I am looking to speak to someone regarding access to reproductive/contraceptive care in Canada for an article I am writing. Get in touch if you work in that field #journorequest #writing #canada #contraception #reproductive #care #Journalist

Headline writers not messing about

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@fcancio * Os algarvios do Twitter a pensar como no Algarve há décadas que é assim * 🤷‍♀️

há em lx cada vez mais estabelecimentos q ostentam comunicação só em inglês. S alguém questiona, sai 1 atónito “qual o problema?”. A ideia, garantem, ñ é ofender ou afastar os portugueses, até porque “vocês são mto bons em línguas”. Quem diria q é ilegal? dn.pt/1559928173/ple…

@BarlowAdams If you need sugar to enjoy tea, you dont enjoy tea, you enjoy the sugar 🤷‍♀️

Preferring unsweetened tea is such a flex. It’s like, hell yeah I like dirty water! Life can’t temp me with its comforts or vices! Hand me another piping hot cup of steeped foliage so I can rawdog that leafy bullshit!

@robojojo @Thrillist Sent you a pitch!

Hello #freelance writers! As we look to fill out our editorial calendar through the rest of the year, I am once again humbling requesting your @Thrillist pitches for travel stories. These can be sent to pitches@thrillist.com. What are we looking for, you might be wondering? (1/)

Dear Twitter people, is anyone here an architect? I have questions! Even better if you live/work in London. #writersoftwitter #Request #question #WritingCommunity #writerslife

@brclothwrites I still do it because i like to (as i read the book) try to figure out what that last but might mean. Only in very rare occasion did reading the last paragraph or sentence turn out to be a major spoiler 😄

@Inesiswriting I used to do it as a preteen to keep me inferencing and guessing as I read. It helped me to finish books when I started chapter books. I don’t do it any more (mostly).

I USED TO read the last line of a book before I started reading it. Did / does anyone else do this?

@beckgotbooks Got a similar one recently - the story intrigues me but not quite my genre. We keep going!

You think you can hurt me? I've gotten 4 very kind personalized rejections in the last 48hrs describing love for my "immersive world, lyrical writing, strong craft" only to have it end in not quite a fit. You can't hurt me because I live in a land of almosts. #amquerying

@Melitacam4 Sent a dm!

@Inesiswriting What is the best email to reach you on? I would love to send you a few questions.

For a piece I’m writing, I’d love to speak to... 1) Young #professionals who have suffered from burnout: What triggered your #burnout? How did you #recover? 2) Psychologists, coaches, psychiatrists, doctors, and therapists who help people to recover from #burnout #journorequest
