NSFW warning.

There is a TINY amount of dialogue here, but mostly narration 😅

Tryna catch up 😅 I finally took OP's advice and made some character picrews. This is Nico Schaefer Atkinson. He is a guy, just limited picrew options, but tried to communicate that as well as I could w/ a long-haired character lol

This feels a lot like that one question that vexed me earlier. I don't have the brains today to engage with this, unfortunately. I'll try to answer questions people ask if I have anything of value to add.

Pentober Day 11: BRIDGE. A Friday incident call spins up a call bridge. Then the network goes dark and something answers.

@sayaashrah.bsky.social you are an exemplary writer of fight scenes. There’s a lot that goes into them. What are the most important elements to focus on when crafting one?
What details might be most and least important?

(Others who write them feel free to jump in too)

I'd definitely want to talk to Robert E. Howard or Hemmingway about writing.

Contentious subject, but how do youz feel about using accents in your work? A simple aid for character voice? Too cheesy? An important part of your style/cultural representation? Appropriative when done wrong? I write accents a lot, but -have- had reading experiences ruined by them. 💬

#LitHodgePodge @rachaelrainerivers.bsky.social has an amazing way with words that really draws you into the character. How do you discern what to show? What to hide? I think it's a good convo to have!

-This also goes for all writers and authors out there who are struggling out there with the same issues I'm having, who have similar advice.
I'm basically trying to "Bluey" myself out of this one, like in the episode "The Show".

-possible to pick yourself up when there's so much negativity in the news and the publishing industry, facing rejection after rejection, and knowing that you will be the ONLY person in your family to tell your story? How do I stay positive?

Just got off a summit for writers called Write Anyway featuring @suecampbell.bsky.social and other writers and book coaches, I wanted to ask but never got answered:
As a failure struggling neurodivergent writer with a disability & chronic pain, how is it...

A11. Much love to all the authors who've interacted with this me so far!
Craft Question: How might someone describe ppl in a family "looking related" w/o it being generic? Family, birth and found, are a big deal in the narrative of TSBH & I wanted some new techniques!

I think in general, my question is what are some of your favorite horror tropes or elements you've put into your stories? How did/do you implement those elements into your work?

General #WritingCommunity question:

What's something not writing related in your life you feel informs your craft at its core?

For myself, world-building is the key to establishing a consistent authorial voice within a given work; that voice naturally varies from one setting to another. I try to especially keep in mind what Professor Delany meant by looking at the world with a "high grain on the grid". 🧵

Any other aphantasic writers around here? How do you handle visual descriptions for characters and settings when you don't have any kind of mental image of them?

#LitHodgepodge

Ok, Ive got a weird one. I am generally a pantser. I like to paint lush scenery and wander around till I find a wonky plot.
I have tried planning, which is great, cuz then the story is tighter, but it loses A LOT of lushness as I focus on plot.

How do you do both?

I'd love to help out & answer anyone's editing/self-editing or hiring an editor questions if you have them! 🫂💜
