Worn Partnership Worn can mean battered and threadbare, edges fraying, colors muted, ragged and in danger of immanent failure, but it also means familiar and comfortable, relaxing fabric, flattened seams, quirks mapped and anticipated, lifelong partnership. #WritingCommunity #Poetry https://ko-fi.com/post/Worn-Partnership-R6R81YYCED Every bit of support helps me keep creating. If you enjoy what I do, consider leaving a tip! #KoFi #Support https://ko-fi.com/crewmansix/tip

#ScribesAndMakers 5/4. How many songs are there where you know all the lyrics by heart? A lot. Hundreds probably. #writing #writingCommunity

#eroticMusings Week 49 (May 3-9) Characters: Do you come up with your characters before their relationships, or do you design characters to fit desired relationships or interpersonal dynamics? Any interesting examples? I never know what's going to happen because I barely even know the main character before I start writing. (I certainly don't know who they're going to meet.) When I started the first Maliha Anderson book I didn't know she'd meet her LI within the first 1000 words. Or that their relationship would be finalised (for want of a better word, and I don't mean sex, that already happened) in the last 1000 words of the final (sixth) book. #writing #writingCommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 5/3. When you see the word 'read', is your first instinct to read is as present tense or past tense? Here, now? Present. Otherwise it depends on the context. Obviously. #writing #writingCommunity

Anyone ever included a prologue to a novel? I'm doing it for the first time. I never thought I'd consider it, but there's a piece of critical information about a character that needs a setup, and there's no place in the book that feels right. The old saying, "Past is prologue." totally resonates. I guess I'll see when it's published. No dates yet. #writing #writer #writers #writersCoffeeClub #author #authors #writingCommunity #writingTips #writingPrompt #prologue #novel #novels #bookstodon #book #books #bookTok #booksky

In the hunt for reviewers, an ARC of my #solarpunk novella is now on NetGalley via @SFWA@wandering.shop This is the story of a country that decentralizes power, getting rid of presidents, politicians, ministers, and authoritarians. Instead, every citizen actively participates in running the country in a direct democracy. And there's no capitalism. Help me spread my idea of the future, get it on netgalley or send me a DM. https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/837516 #books #bookstodon #sff #scifi #writing #writingcommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 5/2. When you finish a project, do you tend to feel that you have everything just the way you want it, or is it more like 'good enough'? Perfect is the enemy of done. Good enough is good enough. #writing #writingCommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub May 1: Workers' Day: What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well? Support libraries. Avoid Generative AI. Fight censorship. Remember, other writers are your peers not your competition. #Books #Writing #WritersOfMastodon #WritingCommunity

#LesFicFri "MISTAKE" “Stop treating me like a child.” “Stop behaving like one.” Polly backed off the bed and on to the floor. “Look, you made a mistake. Everybody does. You owned up to it, you said you apologised to Ursula.” “I did.” “So, let it go.” Veronica pushed herself up in one smooth motion and landed in front of Polly. “That’s easy to say, Polly,” she said. “It’ll haunt me for the rest of my life.” “Well, don’t dwell on it.” Polly lifted Veronica’s hem and tutted. “Not straight. Let’s get you sorted.” From THE TASTE OF VERONICA by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 2 of VERONICA'S LIFE #sapphic #lesFic #writingCommunity #wlw #writing #reading #lesbianVisibilityWeek

This week on The Write Stuff we are chatting with Mystery Writer Angela Wren who has kindly agreed to share her time with us as we talk about the exciting new addition to her series, where it all began for her as an author, what the best and worst things about writing are, and the vital importance of chocolate to the writing process! #writers #writing #writingcommunity #Author #authors ##mysterywriters https://open.substack.com/pub/lawrenceg/p/the-write-stuff-featuring-mystery?r=2agwdo&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/1. Workers' Day: What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well? I just joined the Society of Authors in the UK which describes itself as the union for writers. So backing an organisation which actually works for writers rights (and is 100% opposed to AI). In comparison the Alliance of Independent Authors have a "relaxed" attitude to AI, which I find appalling. ("Oh we can't be too strident because we don't want to upset the authors that use it.") Grrrrr. #writing #writingCommunity

#PennedPossibilities 1000: Speaking of the changes since this project’s start, how do you think you’ve grown as a writer since this hashtag began? Have you published anything? Have your writing habits changed? First of all, thank you so much for these prompts, @floofpaldi@mindly.social . They are so helpful. In the last three years, I've published several books. I set up my own store through PayHip. I'm on track to finish the W&P series. I'm still firmly indie and love it. #WritingCommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 4/30 - What's a problem you solved in your creative work this month? I figured out the (tiny) plot for the second Wolf Bonus Story and finished writing it. I also know two ways of getting the cover for that one, so I should be able to set it all up for my readers soon. This one will have Liz and Eric as MC, as it's for Book 2. Plus I now have a plan for my next release (Moon Rises) in July, and I'm actually organizing marketing for the launch. #WritingCommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/29. Share the best sentence you wrote this month.

(I thought I’d posted a response to this because I did write it, but it turns out I didn’t post it, and then I deleted it to make way for tomorrow’s answer. This is more or less what I wrote before.)

I’ve been cranking out words at high speed, so I don’t really have a best, anyway you can have this:

The power of the miralin was tremendous just when Maylees thought they couldn’t go any faster, Khu would flex more and send them shooting across the waves like a boat with a hurricane filling its sails.

Miralin is the in-world name for mer-folk.

For context, imagine this is like the scene in the 1978 Superman where he’s taking Lois for that romantic flight. But with water. And nudity.

Brilliant Hope What we thought was a beacon shining bright upon the hill hid the train careening down tracks made rusty and crooked by cut corners and corruption unchecked but with every protest made whistle blown and hand raised hope kindles new brilliance against the dark. #WritingCommunity #Poetry https://ko-fi.com/post/Brilliant-Hope-Y8Y01YNRSQ A little support goes a long way. If you’d like to help me keep creating, consider buying me a Ko-Fi! #KoFi #Support https://ko-fi.com/crewmansix/tip Also, have I mentioned that my birthday is this weekend? Cuz... my birthday is this weekend! Do with that information as you please. #BirthdayShenanigans https://throne.com/crewmansix

I've been invited out to a writers' open mic at The Albion in Guelph tonight. I don't think I'll get an opportunity to read. They have seven minute slots and my current piece, on a cold read, was ten and a half. Mostly looking to see what the #WritingCommunity in Guelph looks like. I could definitely use more peers.

#ScribesAndMakers 4/28. Are you interested in etymology? Is there a word with an origin you find especially interesting? Interested in? Yes, I like to know how words have evolved. And I think it's important for full comprehension. Give a specific one? Pass. #writing #writingCommunity
