Hey #WritingCommunity I saw this fantastic idea being shared by Mastodon.Art's curator to create a hashtag for #KindCritique!

Is there a similar hash established for #MastoWriters? Or is there interest in creating one? I'm new here and don't believe I have the social authority to proceed. Can a #WritingExchange senpai boost this to to get some sort of consensus? It sounds like a lovely idea.

After a user request asking if a tag for such a thing existed yet, we decided to start one called #KindCritique. It's for when you want some constructive and gentle feedback on a piece. :artcapy4:

I'm hard at work developing an in-depth online course about consent for romance (& adjacent) writers & editors. My heart's really in this one! If you know somebody who might be interested, please pass this along ❤️ Aiming at spring '23 for running the course. https://www.eliotwesteditorial.com/education.html @edibuddies #AmEditing #Romancelandia #QueerRomance #LGBTQromance #ConsciousLanguage #InclusiveLanguage

Education

Use a smart approach to consent to hone and enliven characters, scenes, and stories.

In this #gig economy, even demons needed a side hustle. The one as BBQ chef at a local restaurant didn’t quite work out—unfortunately, people wanted their steak less charred, more bloody. Mortals just didn’t live up to hellish standards. He had found his calling, however. Nothing quite like drafting insurance contracts that cost humans an arm, a leg, and possibly their soul.

Got thrown out of mime class.

Must have been something I said.

Anyone could dance like a #maniac. Now, ritual cleansings…those required a lot more skill to be considered maniacal. One had to rattle off the words while running around the house with sage in one hand and the cup of chamomile tea in the other. Becoming a certified RC maniac had cost her a few wicked burns and more than one cramped jaw.

He thought of it as #charity. All those socks bunched together in drawers and cupboards, forgotten until someone shoved a smelly foot in them. In his collection, they were admired. Adored even. Besides, he loved how everybody blamed the washing machine or the drier. Of cooourse, they ate socks…

We need a Disney princess that lives in an underground bunker with a raccoon and stockpiles canned spaghetti.

He just wished his #magic didn’t depend on the blood of a virgin as a catalyst. His doctor was starting to ask questions about his anaemia, and it was getting very, very hard to resist that one demon he kept summoning.

I think I’m done with the larger structural issues of my WIP and I’m almost ready to start the line by line edits for my novel.

This is the first time I’ve edited a novel, so today’s task is doing some research and making a master list of everything I need to look for in my #writing. I don’t want to overlook anything.

Some things, like overusing adverbs, showing vs telling, and repetition, I already know. But I’ve found a few things I hadn’t thought of like scene anchoring.

What do you find useful to remember while #editing your novel?
