#WritersCoffeeClub - 30 Mar. What got in the way of your writing this month?

For some reason, I am suddenly getting very droozy in the afternoon. If I push through it, I get stuff done, but if not, I sleep most of the day.

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 28: Do you ever sacrifice blunt clarity for prose that flows well?

No

I don't write blunt prose. I don't enjoy reading blunt prose unless it is a news article.

So the answer is, I do not sacrifice blunt prose, I just don't use it.

@pentup Surprise!

#wordweavers 25 What do you think about the last scene you wrote.

The dialog works, but the ending is weak. It should improve with revision.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 24th Mar Do you have a writerly "third place"?

I do most of my writing at home. But will write anywhere. The closest I come to a third place for writing is in the wilderness. This is highly limited because of the expense of keeping things powered up. Mostly, I just jot notes.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 23rd Mar. What's the most you've worked on a WIP before deciding to scrap it? What happened?

The first chapter of "Matsumoto's Curse" appeared on 26/04/21. The last chapter appeared on 20/02/22. Whereupon it was discontinued.

It is highly unlikely I would ever go back to it, though pieces have been cannibalized for later serials.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 22nd Mar. How do you organise your notes? (No notes?)

  • I have a note file for every major project. It's organized in sections - haphazardly.
  • Metadata is at the top of every file.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3.20 — Who is your ideal reader?

Those literate in Japanese literature and have a taste for #yuri with dark shadings. No scardy cats since I write horror-adjacent.

Anyone who likes Tanith Lee, Miyazawa Iori, or Jack Vance are prime targets.

#writerscoffeeclub 3/19 Do you need to finish a project before starting another?

I have 3 major serials with ongoing writing and minor projects. I have to use a speedsheet to track of work. It didn’t used to be this way.

#WritersCoffeeClub Mar. 18: What's a writerly gift you've received?

Bad spellers' dictionary.
