#Today 04

Good day!

*An ice flow hidden in Hellgate Canyon.

Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.

It’s about discovery, about going deeper into emotions—or deeper into the forest. It’s about possibilities.

Be everwell.

Sorry, #AI, human editors still matter. Oh, sure, AI can find spelling and grammar mistakes (most of the time), but there's so much more to editing than that. . . and you're just not ready.

#WordWeavers 4, Whose advice about your writing would you follow?

I've learned to only listen to solicited advice.

In my view, not everyone is good at giving advice. My stars, does the interwebs ooze with folks spouting advice all over the place, stating all sorts of opinions and preferences as if they're newly discovered, intrinsic truths about the world.

#ScribesAndMakers 04
handling praise

Like criticism, I’ve learned this over time, though for me it was more difficult than taking criticism thanks to my upbringing. I’d downplay any achievement.

NO MORE.

That’s a toxic outlook, a form of negative self-talk. There’s an enormous difference between bragging & taking pride in our accomplishments.

I silently take pride in each step taken, each milestone passed, no matter how minor. It’s creative fuel.

#WritersCoffeeClub 04
strong emotions

No tricks.

In a Deep 3rd POV craft perspective, it means showing over telling (actions, body language, expressions, word choice, etc).

The art begins long before the scene in question, & it means empathy, humanity…knowing the character.

That happens prior to drafting. I do it via narratives. After developing the character, experiencing their joy/heartbreak, I channel (no imposing) their natural reactions to events.

#WordWeavers Apr 4: Whose advice about your #writing would you follow?

Someone who's read it, and gets what I'm going for. Advice that I change my vision is worthless - even if it would make commercialization easier. Advice that helps me realize it, even if it requires me to do extra work and rewriting, is precious.

The Devil Made Me Do It – 4 - All Hallows Eve.
Intro. Wasn’t that something! So who was it? Who in the end claimed that I, the great Satan, made them do it! It was Dotty, of course, as you can see, she is standing with Colin and Jonathan on the stage. Oh, she blamed me for all her problems in the end. ‘Oh, why’d you […]
