The publishing world is crazy small sometimes. Nothing like stepping into a random coffee shop while on vacation and immediately running into one of your @btaylorbooks.bsky.social agent siblings!

I’m rereading A Christmas Carol and we don’t talk enough about the fact that Bob Cratchit’s first instinct on Scrooge raising his salary is to beat the old man into submission and then have him committed to an insane asylum.

Writers, let’s all share a piece of writing advice that we’ve found helpful. I’ll start:
The larger the cast of characters, the more you run the risk of losing reader attention. If multiple characters are serving the same story role, try condensing them into a single character.

I’m a Muay Thai coach. At the end of each class while we’re stretching I have everyone give feedback to the person next to them, specifically one thing they think that person did well this class and one thing they can work on for next time.

I’ve always been an outliner, but this current WIP is proving difficult to puzzle out the plot. The solution I’ve settled on is to outline until I lose steam, then switch to drafting scenes I know will be safe from getting cut later. It’s messy but seems to be working so far. #writingcommunity

One skill I’m attempting to work on as a writer is allowing myself the grace to give myself time to take a break whenever my momentum starts to slow, so that I can come back and reexamine the scene, outline, etc. with fresh eyes once my brain’s had time to mull it over. #writingcommunity
