First nations author and playwright Julie Janson at Genrecon described writing as "sitting in front of your laptop, in your pyjamas, with a cold cup of tea, staring at the wall, wishing you were dead." Really resonated with me. Does that go on the wall?
I need to print this for the wall of writing wisdom that I’m totally going to make one day or just tattoo it on my brain
Five quick ways to improve your screenwriting.
1. Let precise verbs do heavy lifting.
2. Shorter paragraphs.
3. Time to read = time it takes to happen on screen.
4. Be specific. Non-choices kill.
5. Emotion > Information.
Focus on this, and you're ahead of 90% of other writers.

Hello how great is this! I am an Australian fantasy author of complex female characters and epic france-inspired settings! My debut novel was released earlier this year and if you love mystery, shadow magic, and dagger fighting you will love it too!🌼
I couldn't find a list of Australian authors and writerly types on Bluesky so here's my effort to fix that. Please follow all of them! (And suggest more because I will add them.) go.bsky.app/DLhFaM8
