Just finished my additional editing so I can start querying again! It will allow me to focus on finishing my next story. #WritingCommunity

7 more chapters to edit. Hitting one a night. Then one more read through before querying again. Major rewrite almost complete! #writingcommunity#writers

Hope everyone is doing well. Did a little more editing this week. Hope everyone is doing well! #writingcommunity

I built a good following on twitter. Then it became X and I started losing followers. Starting over here, but less cluttered with political bs, and bots are deleted pretty fast here. I’m using this as for networking for my writing, but I also add people I know who are leaving other platforms.

@hayitsmike.bsky.social Hope all is well. I saw your message on Facebook and followed you over here. I know it’s been awhile. Hope things have been going well since college. Welcome to the Bluesky community!

I immediately think about a haunted library. Of course, you have to whisper. And you can't leave, because of some mysterious force. Without being able to speak loudly, you are trying to find the book that contains the spell that can break you out. Unfortunately, some roadblocks stand in your way.

I put did a random word generator. It spit out "Whisper" "Library" "Escape". What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see these three words? Be creative. #WritersBlock #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

Edited yesterday and wrote one chapter in one of my few projects. Feeling accomplished. 😀 #writingcommunity

Everyone said to start something new while you’re waiting. There’s a lot of waiting. I tried. Failed. Tried something new. I’ve got it now. 10k words in, and I’m in love again. #writers #writingcommunity

how do you stop yourself from becoming bitter during querying? from taking each form rejection to heart. to keep going even through the onslaught of no's? it's something that's not really talked about a lot and i'm curious, for those that are or have queried, what's your secret?

If a #publisher is asking for a cover letter, are they asking for a query letter or am I missing something? What is the difference? #writingcommunity #author #writer #question #help

If we were #writingcommunity mutuals on twitter, esp if we were in DM groups together, I wanna be mutuals here too! I want to cheer for you! I want to know if you're querying or on sub or waiting for feedback and what you're working on. The best part of that place was connecting with other writers!

Thanks for the follow backs. It’s nice to be building a new network here on Bluesky! Hoping I don’t have the same experience I had on Twitter/X with AI bots/scammers doing a poor job posing as successful writers. What have your experiences been like with Bluesky so far? #writingcommunity

What's your process of writing and editing from first draft to finish?

For example, for me its first draft, revise (both going through CPs), another pass, send to editor, make editing adjustments/changes, then one final pass.

When I can afford to I will get it to an editor.

I brainstorm an outline and break it into scenes or chapters. Then I write the scenes.Then I re-sort the scenes to make it more powerful. After, I do that I focus on reading it out loud and rewrite the dialogue.Then I cut out unneeded clutter, things that hurt the pacing.Then it is edit, read, edit.

To get to hear stories from other writers, their struggles, and how they overcome them, as it relates to their writing.

Nice to meet you as well. People are dropping off of twitter like crazy, so I’m hoping to be a little more active on here. It looks really writer friendly here in the Bluesky community. Thanks for the follow.

Just got here on Bluesky. Hope to start building a network on this app now. Currently fine-tuning my story to make it the best it can be before I jump back into the querying process. Can’t wait to see the difference it makes! #WritingCommunity
