I don’t want to give to much away about this story, but I published it myself in my website (it’s free!) because no journal would accept it and I think people deserve to read it 🩵🦋 aedenromeyn.wordpress.com/2025/01/12/l... #WriteSky #BookSky #reading #QueerWriters #sci-fi #shortstories
Biggest road blocks in my novel so far have been:

➡️ Changing the perspective 😖
➡️ Getting sick — completely destroys my momentum for weeks

What have your biggest road blocks been?

I want to play d&d with an incredible fervor right now. It’s been MONTHS! Campaigns fall through, lives happen, and suddenly I’m left without d&d in my life 😞 Going to worldbuild a new setting about it #dnd #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

Who else is having writer’s block or is just otherwise just unable to write today? Sound off 📣 What are your go-to methods to get over that hurdle?

Massive thank you to the rapid response of the #Tucson community today.

At a glance, this follows a pattern:

Characters in sync (wordless conversation, working together, parallel motives, etc.)

Characters take each other into consideration on mundane things

Characters are intellectually matched or complimentary (matched in wit, or strategist and action taker)

#Smutcember, it's time to talk about our work! To start off:

How do you build chemistry between your characters? You can speak in general terms or give specific examples, whichever you prefer.

Ads simply don’t work. With every ad I see, my ire for the products in question grows. Every ad from a major store reminds me to go buy from my local independent shops. The ads make me want to steal those products and throw them all in the harbor. I abhor this constant soulless stream of noise.

I once believed writing was a solitary art pursued in self-imposed exile. I can’t stress enough how wrong I was. Art can’t be pursued in a vacuum. You need peers who encourage and challenge you, who help you improve. Find writers to share your world with. #WriteSky #Writers #Authors

The Great American tradition of stopping at a fast food joint to pee and grab a salty snack on a road trip is not as romantic when the fries are five Great American dollars …

Sigh … it’s time. I can’t avoid it any longer. It’s time to kill my favorite character … #WriteSky #Writing #WritingCommunity

My dyslexic mom was failed by US education, so she had me reading chapter books by 5. I’m so grateful. I struggled socially, so reading was my solace in childhood. I wrote a book (fanfic) at 12. I became a student journalist, which expanded my skills, and the rest is history. #Bookvember #WriteSky

Finished a short story and another chapter of DATR this week. It’s been busy, but I’m glad to be back working on my novel. Short story competitions are fun, but they can take a lot out of me. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #HorrorWriters #Writesky

I want my readers to stop seeing the most vulnerable of a people as subhuman. My characters are flawed humans often considered undesirable by society. I want my readers to LOVE them anyway. #WriteSky #Writesky #Writing #WritingLifeMonthly #Writers

Are you hoping to share something with your readers beyond a good tale? Is there a deeper meaning you want to impress on them?

On Nov 1, millions will loose access to their SNAP benefits. If you can spare a few extra bucks to a food bank, whether of your choice or to one in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and I will send you a free copy of Memories of Enaros OR an early access to Inarora's Excursion.

Sometimes the words flow out of you like water down a mountain. And sometimes you repeat “big ghost” to yourself for two hours trying to figure out what the hell you’re doing #WriteSky #Writesky #Writing #Writers #WritingCommunity

A scene I haven’t finished yet in which someone struggling with suicidal thoughts realizes they don’t want to die during an accident. It’s very personal to me, and it’s been really difficult to push through it. #WritingLifeMonthly #WritingCommunity #WriteSky
I've been absent from #WritingLifeMonthly because... life. But writing emotional funeral scenes is definitely the most challenging for me (and I've written a few of them). I eventually have to write through blurred, teary vision (and can't see my monitor). They're hard to edit too. #WriteSky

Is there a scene that you really struggled to write? Why?

We as a society had forgotten vampires, the monster, in favor of vampires, the romance until recently. I’m ecstatic to see stories like Sinners, Nosferatu, and Vampires of El Norte, and more. I long for monsters as allegory.

#Horror #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Vampires
Happy #tuesday! Today's #writingq and #trope for discussion is:

#horror #vampires!

Genre specific, I know, but it's SPOOKY SEASON!!!

Do you enjoy this trope? Have you written it? When was it done well vs bad?

Writing for competitions is really just spending 8 hours writing something you HATE, switching gears at 3am to a different idea, and then finishing the first draft of that new idea in an hour. #WriteSky #Writing #WritingCommunity
