Writers, what is harder for you to write:
A character's death, a heartbreaking goodbye, or two characters who love each other but just can't be together?

Because sometimes writing fictional pain feels a little too personal.

A big thing for me while writing is listening to music. I do need breaks, but I avoid doom scrolling. I usually read a chapter of two of whatever I'm reading or a play a few levels on a phone game. What are some things others do? #writingcommunity #writers #writing #firstdraft

Procrastination is the name of the game! At least that is what my brain thinks. Had this book idea for a week and have only written 800 words for it. But I do have 8 hours in a new game I bought. Kitty! #writingcommunity #writers #writing #firstdraft

How my process works is that I write out the scene, bare minimum, before going back and fluffing it up while looking for mistakes. I use Hemingway and Google docs after the story is done. Makes me wonder what everyone else uses. Bats are adorable! #writingcommunity #writers #firstdraft

Exploring some difficult themes in my new book with one character's backstory that she tells throughout the narrative. Hitting a little close to home, but I'm finding it therapeutic. Here's something cute to make me feel better. #writingcommunity #writers #writing #firstdraft

The unfinished book

#Authors, be honest:

What’s the one thing keeping you from finishing your current book?

Plot? Motivation? Time? Editing? That one chapter you keep rewriting? 😂

Tell me. No judgment.

I was able to hash out the basic plot points of the past storyline of my novel that focuses on the elderly lady the MFC cares for. I want these experiences to bring out strength and confidence in my MFC. In lieu of winter, here's a bear. #writerscommunity #writing #firstdraft #writers

Anyone else get nervous before writing a certain scene?

The conversation ahead is a bit intimidating. I just gotta keep reminding myself that it's the first draft and it's supposed to be bad

If you’ve recently finished a first draft, congratulations. Getting to the end is an achievement in itself. What comes next for you: revisions, developmental editing, or beta readers?

I worked on character profiles last night and named two characters. Does anyone else struggle with thinking of last names? In other news, here's an axolotl. #writingcommunity #writing #firstdraft #writers

The first draft is a skeleton .… just bare bones. The rest of the story comes later with revising.

Imagine showing a bowl of batter to someone who has never baked a cake. They might doubt that batter would ever become a "real" cake.

Batter doesn't look like cake; it can't. It's just a baker's first draft. Keep writing!

Your first draft is gonna be pure trash. Yoda already called it. Stop overthinking, open the doc, and vomit the words out. Awful is the starting line. Just start, padawan.
