Is your writing process the same for each story you write? My process is different for short stories versus novels, only because editing is easier for shorter works #writingq #WritingCommunity

in a 2nd chance rom its you need a good reason for breakup and reunion. my characters have tension bc they had a really terrible breakup that was caused by the aftermath of something very bad. fmc behaved in a way that is reasonable for LI to not be comfortable jumping in so fast #crpsirens

#CRPSirens I need your tips on creating tension! Emily Varga shared on On The Write Track Podcast that if your one MC is a firefighter, the other better be an arsonist. Now I’m always asking: How can I create opposition? What do they have to overcome? How do you approach tension? LMK👇

#camprevpit a tangled web of line edits, deleting entire subplots, checking for consistency, reverse outlining #gifrevisions

Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ Hope the spirits are high as we get into the second week of #CampRevPit! Today, use #GifRevisions and describe your revision process with a gif, meme, photo, or whatever visual tickles your fancy.

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.

Rise & Shine #CRPSirens ☀️ My relationship with writing has changed over the years, & each project has required different things from me. Sometimes it was sneaking in a sentence on my phone during a sliver of nap time or scribbling in a journal in the dark hours once the littles went to bed. Cont⬇️

In the background, shelves of books stand in rows in a bookstore with a darkened filter on top to darken the image. The text overtop the image reads: The Rise & Shine Chronicles: setting yourself up for success. Day 2: April 21. Do you have any writing rituals or rhythms? How do you approach your writing time? Do you have any wonders or wishes about writing routines? Let us know below and we can talk about it together.

Hi #CRPSirens I’m Maggie and I write a mix of contemporary romance and book club fiction. I’m not working on anything right now because I have writers block after completing an r&r. I’d like to get out of my writer’s block this session!

Good morning #CRPSirens 🧜🧜‍♀️🧜‍♂️ I’m Nadine & I write romantic fantasy books. My book, MYTH, MUSE, MAGICIAN just hit the query trenches & I’m working on my next project which includes a second chance romance, women in STEM, only-one-textbook, and a MMC with a devastatingly-sharp jawline 😏 (Cont. 🧵)

In the background, a photo of the inside of Barter Books in Alnwick, with stoned walls and shelves of books. Over top, text that reads: “we’re live, we’re live, we’re live! And embracing our author era. Day 1: April 20. 1. Introduce yourself. 2z Tell us a bit about what you’re working on. 3. Set an intention for our time together. What do you want to get out of Camp RevPit?
