What Fleeing Twitter Users Will—and Won’t—Find on Mastodon

@soulhaven that’s definitely the feeling, too
🧵 It’s the same when i’m #drafting #novels. Doubt turns into anxiety which then overwhelms me. So, I take it scene by scene, peek 🫣 ahead to see the notes in the margins, suck in a deep breath and then commit myself to just get through that scene. Then the chapter as a whole. And it can be so draining that I end up needing a break before scrolling to the next chapter. THANK GOD for my agent’s thoughtful notes because she gives them in bite sized, easy to digest suggestions. ā¤ļø U @tajmccoywrites
🧵 I think I can describe what #amediting feels like now. See, I am a converted #plotter, and while that has made the process of #editing my #book so much easier, I still have such anxiety about tackling my edits. The notes from my agent are clear, helpful, and insightful. There’s no issue there or with the direction. My issue is that I have to take my edits chapter by chapter or even scene by scene to mentally prepare because I’m wondering if I’m even capable of pulling the work out of myself.
Oxford Languages is opening their word-of-the-year voting to the public! Let them know whether you want ā€œmetaverse,ā€ ā€œ#IStandWith,ā€ or ā€œgoblin modeā€ for the #WOTY2022.

If you're wondering whether we call turkeys "turkeys" because they come from Turkey, here's a very old, shaky (but short and nicely referenced) video I did about it. (The short answer is "sort of.")

@KellyEsparzaWrites @KileyAWrites +3 for me. Never mind all the social I’m on for the day job. 🤪
@KellyEsparzaWrites it’s starting to make me dizzy but I’ve heard some other writer friends migrating their too. We are like social media refugees. Some others are going to discord, too.
