somewhere in my head is a bard and a barbarian, fighting over a single brain cell

The best part about finishing a draft 1 is that you can finally spend time on the other books in your head
97k words and the first draft is finished! So excited! #writing #WritingCommunity
Question for the #WritingCommunity - when do you start querying? When the manuscript is finished? After a revision or two? How do you know if your #WIP is "ready?"

When you typo a word so badly even autocorrect doesn't know what to do with it. Got google docs like 🤷♂️
I have a Masters in English literature, I've written a couple of books. Nothing fancy, never been published or anything, but all that to say I've spent a lot of time studying words and how they go together. Which makes it crushing when you don't have the right words to help
Does anyone in the #WritingCommunity do writing exercises or practice regularly outside of just working on your WIP? What's your favorite?
The "dream" shouldn't be about what you'd be content with, it should be what excites you, about what gets you up in the morning
Once again, it's that special time of year, my favorite time of year. The #WoodwardDreamCruise
One of the best car shows in the world, right here in my hometown.
See you on the pavement
Where are all the real people of the #WritingCommunity at? Say hi, I'll follow you if I'm not already, and hopefully we'll all make new friends! #amwriting
This is a lot of fun!
Ooops, I made a thing. Tell me your alignment. 😉😉
PS. if it's a mix, great, tell me that.
PPS. This is meant to be fun, don't get salty.

You know you're adulting when the big excitement for the week is getting a new dishwasher using only gift cards
2024 is wild. I'm sitting in the woods, using my phone to access my #WIP online, which I'm editing with a Bluetooth keyboard.
It might seem like such a small thing, but the future is now, and I'm here for it.
Me and the Fiancé finally got a Switch. Which means this lifetime Playstation kid can finally play Ocarina Of Time!
Scrolling through X is like a discipline challenge sometimes. Just gotta keep repeating my mantra: "Not my circus, not my monkeys"
I love writing, but I'm not sure it's a "moral" act, at least, not anymore than sipping tea, trying on clothes, or holding a conversation. For that's what storytelling is: a conversation that lasts lifetimes.
I removed 5000 words from my WIP today.
The weird part is I don't even feel bad about it.

How do you ratchet up the tension and tone in your story? Is this the fruit of careful planning? Or chaotic pantsing? Do you have a method or do you go with your gut?
