It's hard to concentrate on #writing or #editing with all that's going on. How do you stay informed without getting too sucked into politics and current events? Is writing a good distraction, or do you find it difficult to write with all that's happening?

I'm thinking about #writinghabits. I tend to #write and #edit in the evenings Monday-Thursday. I write in my office in a cozy chair. I put on music to get in the #epicfantasy mood and drown out household sounds. What's your #writing schedule? Where do you write?

I haven't posted since the holidays (been a while!). But I finished up #developmentaledits and sent them off to my editor. I'm going to be brushing up on my Scrivener knowledge and #selfpublishing podcasts while I want to get my #lineedits back. Then it's back to #editing. #writingcommunity

Gloriously unstuck! The remedy was a 3-day break from #editing over the weekend and, once I returned to it, #outlining the chapters. I'm splitting the chapter in half and adding/organizing POV. There's still a lot of work ahead, but it's flowing again!

I'm #stuck this week; my #edits are going nowhere. I keep reading the same scene over and over and struggling to fix it. Any tips? I'm going to try an outline, but I plan to move on to other scenes if I can't get unstuck this afternoon. #amediting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #writerslife

Slicing up this chapter like …

Two days back into #editing. I’m making steady progress, but it’s a slog of a chapter. How is your progress going as we get into December?

I’m taking a little editing break over #Thanksgiving. #writers, do find the holidays are a good break from writing or a good time to write? #writingcommunity #blueskywriting #writersofbluesky #skywriter #writerlife

Had a great #writing night. I edited a chapter and added so much content that I split it into two chapters. Slow but steady progress! Feeling in the zone. How’s your WIP coming? #writerslife #amediting #writingcommunity #blueskywriters #writersofbluesky

#writers What are your secrets to stop yourself from editing the same thing over and over forever? Or do you just let your brain win and edit excessively?

Just know, #readers, that when you read a major battle scene in a book, it was also a major battle to write: a battle with ourselves, a battle with the characters, a battle balancing action and emotion, a battle wrangling POV. It's a real-life fight, too. #writerlife #writingcommunity #editing

It was a good night for #editing. Sometimes it just flows, and it’s a good thing because sometimes it doesn’t flow at all. Nights like these make up for the times I just can’t get into it. #writingcommunity
