I wonder if #ducksofmastodon would welcome a duckbill platypus? Yes? #closebutnocigar? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh for sure. It’s tough making the voices sound distinct without making one of them feel fake or forced. It’s all about nuance!

While drafting my new #WIP I’m also doing a little bit of re-branding. Slowly trying to learn Mastodon and build a following, updating my pen name and overhauling my website. Anyone have any tips on — any of that? Thanks in advance 😑

About 3 chapters in, my MC’s personality is beginning to take shape. Some definitive nuances have emerged that I didn’t know were there until he started talking and doing things. It’s interesting to feel your characters coming to life. #amwriting #writingcommunity

The first draft is fun because I can just let my characters GO OFF and worry about trimming all their bullshit down later.

Last time I was in full-on writing mode, I had a job where I could make my own hours and write whenever I wanted. Working a regular 9 to 5 now, it’s been way harder to find time to work on my #WIP this time around and progress has been slow so far. I know it’s a common complaint and it’s all about prioritizing my time. Just doing some late-night venting. #writingcommunity #amwriting

I’ve found a way to tie my completed, queried, and multiple-times-rejected first novel into my WIP. So when THIS novel is finished, sold, catches fire, and goes global, THEN people will want to read my passion project. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Does anybody find writing groups helpful? Thinking of joining one but it would need to be the right one — one for working on WIPs and trading feedback, not one with writing exercises and fluff stuff. Thoughts?
