Craft Exercise: Active Setting

Your setting isn’t just a backdrop—it’s part of the story.

Pick a scene and:
— Add weather that complicates the plot
— Shift the space to mirror or contrast the character’s mood

Make your world move with your story.

Today, we celebrate Independence Day. 🇺🇸
A moment to reflect on the ideals of freedom, community, and expression—and how we can continue working to ensure those ideals are truly inclusive.

To all our storytellers: may your words shape a better future.

💥 Prompt time:
Your main character walks into the worst possible room at the worst possible moment.
Where are they?
Who’s there?
What do they do next?

Let the chaos begin. Drop your mini-scene in the comments or save for your WIP. 👇

✍️ Craft Prompt: A character must lie to protect someone else. Write the internal monologue behind the choice — the fear, the hesitation, the justification. What’s at stake if the truth slips out? #WritingPrompt #WritersLife #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

💥 Writing Tip:
Want tighter prose? Start by cutting adverbs.
Instead of “she ran quickly,” write “she sprinted.”
Strong verbs carry more weight—and clean up your pacing.

It seems simple but it's often forgotten. What’s your favorite adverb-swap?
