#Writetip: When much time has passed, characters have changed location, or you want to show another character’s POV, you often need to convey that to the reader. Adding a text break affects the reader experience in three interrelated ways.

@ratsnakegames How much spam have I posted there?

My last post on the tag was two days ago, a still story seed and title for anyone else to use.

Before that it was a joke about denouement in March, and another one in March was my thoughts on an article about ChatGPT in relation to the career / hobby of writing. Are these off topic? (Serious question.) If my search is working, that's only four posts in four months, all of which are on topic, in my opinion, only one self-promo, but if they were off topic, that's hardly "spamming"?

(I could get into the history of how much free advice and WIP processing I contributed to the #AmWriting and #WriteTip tags on Twitter back when my health allowed me to give much more than I took. Bad health + still wanting to participate, it's not ideal for me.)

This post is the first time that I've promoted my services as a writer to other writers. I'm just regular writer in poor health trying to survive in this difficult world that hates and devalues writers. I guarantee you I am not rich, not getting a lot of work from any source, and my promotional activities with or without tags are vastly outstripped by my bad advice posts, shitposting, and complainposts.

I'd like to interact with you in good faith on this, because I am a community player, but what "exactly" is the topic of #WritersCoffeeClub? I did (in good faith) gather from following it for several years that it is like #AmWriting + #WriteTip was on Twitter, and that is the topic I'm following. What is your opinion?
