Just finished a draft of my opening chapter - finding it difficult to leave it alone, and move on. What advice would #WritersOfBluesky have for not picking at a draft like an itchy scab?!

Plotting my new book chapter by chapter - new approach this time to avoid character arc problems (compared to 'write and see what happens'). What tips do other #writers have to make this feel less clinical? I know this will work for me but...

Watching Lesson 3 of 'Write with Jericho' @jerichowriters.bsky.social in my lunch break. Great tips about writing dialogue and internal monologue by @laurastarkeyauthor.bsky.social. I definitely fall foul of using too many different adverbs for dialogue tabs!

Still plotting and planning - trying to go with 'Because of that/But/Therefore" - rather than 'And then' approach.

Diving back into the planning process with Dan Harmon's Story Circle! Meanwhile, my writing buddy has gone off to embrace her 'zone of comfort' - the whole sofa to herself. What story structures do other #writers swear by?

New year, new platform, new book! I'm venturing into a whole new genre: #WritingRomantasy comedy. Naturally, my desk is suspiciously tidy and my dog is exhausted. So, follow along as I navigate planning, plotting and - after much tea - writing!
