Suspense is only effective if it's used in very specific moments. How do you handle the moments in between?
Joke scenes, happiness, exposition, lore drops? What's this look like for you?

I honestly find most research to be fun because I usually learn what I'm looking for and then some, but I think the most tedious are the etymology checks. Like, how common would 'yeah' be in 1956? Sure it existed, but was it more common than 'yes' in spoken dialogue?
@verosthewriter.bsky.socialFor Prophecy 72, I had to research symptoms of THC intoxication just so I could make a joke about "magic brownies," and symptoms of a hangover for when Alakshi has a massive non-joke hangover.
@typewriterlizard.northsky.socialI looked up whether or not mist could form in the desert.

I think my characters are more well organized than I am
Maybe it's my ADHD, or maybe I'm just plain lazy

@susansavagelee.bsky.socialWhat’s the most ridiculous or boring thing you’ve researched for a story? I had to look up whether being expelled from a college appears on transcripts. So boring, but so necessary #writingq #WritingCommunity

@paulhikari.bsky.socialFrom "King of Blades", I could see a prequel starring Prashasti. She was once a fiercely competitive, tenacious woman with a grand dream--which, sadly, Joshua thwarted time and again. Still, she never completely gave up on it, instead channeling it into coaching.

Elders are fully respected in my stories, especially the wise ones
Except for bigoted reactionaries, endlessly bitter/cantankerous grumblers, & condescending, smug jerks who scold the youth & see their generation as superior
@glwalkerauthor.bsky.socialBalan is demanding a why choose and I want to smack him with a cast iron pan for even suggesting it. He knows I don't write romances, let alone something so diablo spicy. Super rude of him! I know he's my most broad-spectrum of sexual desires, but bro, just no.
@elwolfsblood.bsky.socialLate night yap time! Your side characters are mutinying, one of them demands a spin off. Talk about the idea to fulfill the side character’s desire for the spotlight, what medium will you use? Will it be same genre? Maybe a prequel with a cameo?
Whatcha think?
@sabrinamars.bsky.social100% the first fight with daemons scene. I love it so much that I had to get it at least immortalized in this stunning commission by @gbroatic.bsky.social ✨
Kassidy's first deadly use of her magic ✨🫰🏻
@norashear.bsky.socialWhich scene in your WIP would you love to see on film?
For No Dream Like Forever, the fierce yearning scene in the Rodin Museum would ROCK.
For No Sky Like Midnight, either the scene outside of Midnight's Ball, or the moment Paige enters the Aventura panic room.
