Let's take the discourse a little further ... I'm gonna claim that NO scene "has to" further the plot. I'm tired of hearing this. Maybe a scene adds atmosphere, gives characters a chance to let something sink in, is funny — What a dull read, if there's no pure fun along the way.

Have you ever read a book in your own genre that was so good, it made you sick? As in, sick with longing, sick with a desire to have written it, with a fever to be able to write something like it, to write something as good? Read one of those this week. 🔥Not sure I'll recover.

Why do so few books seem to feature likeable characters these days? Maybe it's because a character who is both likeable and interesting is one of the hardest things to write. BUT it can be done! Who has a likeable hero? #WritingCommunity #booktwt

We are soon to be hit with the "best books of 2023" lists Transl: "Here's a subjective opinion about the best out of the tiny pool of the 20 or so massively popular, huge blockbuster books that were marketed to everyone up the wazoo or that went viral on TikTok"

#WritingCommunity I don't write to market. I don't write fast. I don't consider my bks products. I don't want 'em to be perfect & polished — just great escapes for me that I can share with others. I want "never to make a line I have not heard in my own heart" No AI for me

#fantasyindiesmarch Day 3 My series is set in 14thc Belgium & a scrap of illumination already plays a role in the plot. I'm working a medieval fun fact into my WIP: many manuscripts depict battling snails in the margins. What's up w/them? It's a mystery🤔 But they're winning!🐌

#writingcommunity & #AuthorsOfTwitter — I feel like Twitter isn't working for me anymore. I rarely see my usual ppl & I doubt they see my posts. So my question, for those who bit the bullet and got the blue checkmark: has it made a significant difference? Hate the idea but ...

So ... got invited to go to a kind of dinner/movie event tomorrow night for a showing of Sound of Music. Costumes encouraged. My question: what's the absolutely easiest, most minimal way I could make a nod at a costume w/out, you know, actually wearing a costume? Ideas, anyone?

Hi everyone! I am NOT leaving here, but I did decide to see what it's like under the azure sky, and ... I have no clue what I'm doing! If you're over there, let me know how to follow you by dropping your username in the comments 🥰 #WritingCommunity #authorsofTwitter #booktwt

My son told me this afternoon that he told his buddy that I wrote a book a while back. And that his friend told his mother. This evening my son showed me a picture on his phone of his friend's mother's hand holding up a paperback copy of Journeys. Whee! My son is now my agent.

Had a basset hound growing up. Was she this cute?! Absolutely. One of the cutest things was that when she was a puppy like this, her ears were so long she'd constantly trip over them - until she grew into them. Ah, this brings back memories! Rest in peace, sweet Waggles🥰

My elderly mother is visiting us for Xmas and it's nice she can be here w/ us, but oh dear, it's going to be something... She's in the bedroom w/ my kiddo, and I can hear my teen saying, "your hearing aids? They're in your ears!"

Present tense? I write it & love it! It's not for the faint of heart, b/c you have to be 100% immersed in your story. You have to know your verb tenses inside & out. But when it works, it works. There's nothing like it for inviting others into your world & breathing life into it
