#writerscoffeeclub Jan 25. What comes first: setting, character, plot? What comes next? Sometimes a title arrives in my mind and it demands I write a story that goes with it. But usually I have a couple of each category (plot, setting, characters) floating around in my imagination and I play about with seeing how they fit together... until the Idea strikes and I have something.

RE: https://zeroes.ca/@trendless/116233562509870100 The British public seem averse to the reality that covid is still a thing to be wary of, let alone the potential life altering consequences of it. This quote here is bang on.

I just had to say I just installed Scrivener on my (Ubuntu) laptop and it was a delightful experience. (The version native to linux comes as an AppImage, so the hardest part is installing the FUSE library, which is stupidly easy.) #amwriting #foss

Hey! The UK govt consultation on kids vs the internet closes tomorrow night. Which means you still have time to do their survey/tell them their ideas are stupid and age restrictions won&#39;t keep anyone safe. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/growing-up-in-the-online-world-a-national-consultation #ukpol #onlineSafetyAct

The perils of searching Glasgow Libraries: Sometimes your search yields manuscripts in Latin from 1618, and next minute you find you&#39;ve spent an hour down an unexpected research hole. #books #libraries #Glasgow #writing #reading

I just finished reading &quot;How to live safely in a science fictional universe,&quot; by Charles Yu, and I have to tell you about it. We follow a time machine repair guy kind of through time, but also not through time, with his dog and pilot, who also don&#39;t actually exist. It&#39;s so ridiculously fantastic, but also heartfelt. It&#39;s a science fiction story of family written in physics and maths, and it was so fucking delightful to find such a thing! #books #sci...

How do you lot record/note your ideas? More specifically, how do you corral your ideas together? I&#39;ve been using: 1)a notes app on my phone that isn&#39;t backed up or synced anywhere -Joplin 2)a notes app on my phone/computer that is synced (but sometimes unreliable) -Standard Notes 3)notes to myself in Signal 4)hand written notes in no less than 3 physical note books 5)a selection of documents (.odt or .txt) It isn&#39;t a system; it&#39;s chaos. I know this. Halp....
