The worst thing about not being a lyricist is writing song lyrics

Help

The best part of writing is putting in references that only two of your readers maximum will probably get.

#QueerWriters

I've been having issues with some of the story beats I wanted to do, but I think I've managed to make something that I like.

I do need to fix up book 3 though, because I'm torn between ideas

Honestly, I can write pretty much any time I want to, as long as I have the spoons and the words!

I feel so much better about my writing!

If you have a series, can you normalise putting the reading order in the book or SOMEWHERE on the book so that we don't have to Google everything

Yes, not only will I have "Juniper Wharf: Book 1" on the cover, but also the reading order of books in the book itself.

#QueerWriters I have some goals!

- Do more writing
- Probably do more research into the music industry (for the writing)
- Go shopping for more books
- Read more books, not necessarily the ones I buy this week
- More walks, now that the weather seems to be getting better

Update:

I changed some of my story and I don't like it as much as I thought I would

I don't like writing unnecessary drama with poor communication at best of times 💀

When you introduce a new character but you can't think of an appropriate name for him, so you use a placeholder name.

His name is Sbeve Pissflaps.

#QueerWritersChat I wrote this in a burst of inspiration, relating to songwriting and music. It's something I feel that I can connect with on a personal level, which helped a lot here.

#QueerWritersChat

I hope to be published in one capacity or another. It's something I want, and I'm going to do it one way or another

#QueerWritersChat

The characters have hope that things will get better. Like, someone has to have that hope right?

Ayo #QueerWritersChat, I'm a bit late, don't mind me!

I'm Avery, and I'm writing a series. There are queer people and Gods, and rock stars involved!

I should be asleep. Instead I'm doing a combination of:

- Reading
- Writing
- Stalking music fan pages for inspiration
- Watching interviews for inspiration
- Anything but sleeping

#QueerPrompts wrap-up!

- It was my birthday this month!
- I did a good amount of writing. Not as much as I'd hoped, but an amount
- I have a plan for book covers I want to sketch out soon-ish

Just note that because I've got musicians in my series, I've had to come up with album titles.

One of them is literally named Concrete because I had that "fuck yeah, concrete!" sound as my vocal stim for a good while

Despite not being so good at it, the series now facilitates the need for a present tense storytelling instead of past tense

That is for future me to worry about when it comes to draft 2, I'm not dealing with that right now

What is my favourite Pokémon?

I just want this whole line to serve cunt 💅

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Okay who read my drafts?

Okay so I *may* have found a rockstar romance where the guy isn't some arrogant jerk, perhaps?

I'm about a quarter of the way through, I'll update tomorrow!

I was supposed to do quite a bit of writing but I tripped, fell, and landed on Fields of Mistria for hours oops
