Two stages of writing:
1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Okay so you can hide obnoxious replies to your own posts AND you can hide your OWN post if someone quotes it with an obnoxious remark without deleting the post completely?! Bullshit free social media? Can it be?!

One last thing! At the end of your writing session, finish this sentence:
Tomorrow, when I sit down to write, I will…
Give yourself One Small Job. Make it bite-sized and specific. When you feel unfocused tomorrow, that One Small Job will serve as your invitation to sit down with the work again.

Small Assignment #3 to keep writing when it’s tough to focus: Choose a scene & go back to see what vivid sensory language you can add. Set a timer for 2 minutes, and read through, looking for places you might add sounds. Then do the same for smell, touch. Add the most specific details to your draft.

Small Assignment #2 to keep writing when it’s tough to focus: Set a 5-minute timer & brainstorm all the ways your MC might be able to make their own situation worse. (Conflict is elevated when your MC has contributed to their own problems, rather than having them caused only by outside forces.)

Small Assignment #1 to keep writing when it’s tough to focus: Set a 20-minute timer & write about your character’s bedroom. What’s on the walls? In the dresser? On the bed? On the nightstand? What’s shoved under the bed? On the high shelf in the closet? You can learn secrets about your MC this way.

Writer friends! If you're having a tough time focusing on your novel right now, try doing some writing off-draft, in a separate document. Here are three Small Assignments you can try to keep working, even when it's hard to focus: 1/4

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Remember the rules here: Don’t ever engage, just block.
It’s still a lot of randos coming into posts to antagonize or debate on purpose. Dont fall for the okeedoke. If the vibes are weird block
Also remember that you can detach quotes, hide bad replies, and blocking here is nuclear

There's a long history of Hamlet being played by middle-aged men when he's so clearly written as a sulky teen bursting with rage but with zero power at the court; understand that and the academics' debated question of "Why does Hamlet delay?" goes away

Some people cannot comprehend that the exodus from X is not 'liberal flight' but a lot of people deciding that the content on the platform - hate/extremism, disinformation, violent/nsfw content, low quality ads, lax responses to user reports, suppression of content - just can't be ignored any more.

I’m an art teacher & I tell my students to use reference all the time. Hell, I have a student currently doing some cool things with tracing staged 3D areas through SketchUp and photo bashing on top of drawn art using pictures as reference.
Using Reference is ALWAYS good and should be encouraged.

Idk who needs to hear this but using reference isn’t cheating and needing to look at reference doesn’t make you any less of any artist and tbh if anyone says otherwise they are toxic as all hell.
