Every day, I wake up and start pulling on the oars of life… must keep this world going round!

I want to engage, but I lack the space in my life to fully do so… every day is a battle between peeking through the window of social media and news, and actually opening the door and getting swallowed up in it all. How to find the right and healthy balance?

Hey #writingcommunity - how do you go about blocking real-world “stuff” from creeping into your writing (when it is not relevant)? Looking for ideas to maintain my focus while the real-world is blaring its megaphone…

Yep… keep writing, the world needs to hear you.

A very good reminder… I am struggling with this currently!
Writing Tip:
The world will constantly be trying to distract you while you're writing, and learning to tune it out for a little bit can be hard. Silence that ringtone. Remove social media pings. Try to be contactable (for real-life emergencies) but not distractible.

Always read the fine print…
@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips for new authors: Some unscrupulous websites have fine print that say something like "by submitting you grant us the rights to publish" or worse "all rights." READ THE GUIDELINES CLOSELY before you submit ANYWHERE.
This is important. Really.

What would be helpful is someone constructed a list of helpful accounts with real lived experience/understanding in different professions who would be happy to help writers/screenwriters with their research. No, not me this time around. Any volunteers? #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky #WritingCommunity
Something we probably don’t talk enough about on here as writers is the value of solid research.
Having great accounts around who can offer real life experience to what your characters do is invaluable; whether that be in medicine, law, journalism, academia or whatever. #ScriptSkyUK #ScriptSky👇

Looking for recommendations…
One of my 2025 goals is to memorize 6 of the greatest/best known poems - working on Frost’s “The road not taken” currently. What other 100-200 word greatest of all time poetry would you recommend I tackle?

That moment you accidentally knock over your TBR pile and then debate if your reading ambitions may be a bit more than reality can handle… thank you authors for putting out such great works

Ah… well done
"I was born to write quietly and alone. Acquainted with
silence and its longboned clock. Strangers who occupy
the purple of anxiety.
Dialogues of liquid, a patina cross at eye-level. When you say audience, the world is too close for company.
Applause comes with the cost of a dying art."
