AI provides us with misinformation in such a confident tone. The level of made-up detail is incredible. Who knew Helen Vendler was on such close terms with a ghost? #ai #poetrycommunity #writer

When I'm editing a manuscript, I can't bear to discard anything. I have a outtakes doc where I put everything I remove, in case I need any of it later. It's the writing equivalent of an overstuffed closet filled with past seasons' clothes. Am I alone in this? #writers #booksky

Alas, I haven’t finished Chernow’s excellent Mark Twain biography and the library wants that thousand-page tome back. Welp, the first 10th was good. #booksky

I didn’t want The Republic of Salt to end, and I can’t wait for the third book in the series. @erewhonbooks.bsky.social

Every time I hear about a book ban, I think, behind this ban is someone who doesn’t want a kid to figure out who she is and what she believes in.

Does anyone else rough out a scene first and then go back and fill in the details (precise dialogue, descriptions, etc.)? I go back over a scene several times, adding layers. For me it takes the pressure off having to sit and write a complete scene in one go. #writers #writing #authors

I love the feeling of sitting down at my desk to start writing a new scene. What kind of trouble will my characters get themselves into today?

Can we create a subgenre for romantic adventures that take place in a fantasy setting inspired by a real historical time and place but have no actual magic in the plot and where the writing has a slightly literary bent? Also with a quest to find a lost treasure? Asking for a friend.

What do I do when I don’t feel like writing? (1) I give myself permission to write a page or two of stream-of-consciousness ideas about the scene I should be working on. It can be terrible. I might not use it later. Often, though, a bit of it is useful another day. (2) I read.

I know I'm struggling with a scene when I keep distracting myself with the internet. This is a reminder to myself to shut down all the other tabs and just do the hard work of figuring out what this scene needs to be, what the characters say and do, and how it moves the narrative along. Do it, self.
