#WritersCoffeeClub 6: What might an inattentive reader miss in your work?
I hide secrets and stuffs in a lot of my poems and stories.
But prob the one ppl miss the most BC they're too busy feeling spicy is the unhealthy coping stuffs Dio (me) has in "Interlude in the Lower City."
Getting ppl to hurt u and treat you bad BC you're sad and angry? I mean. Relatable. But not rly healthy at all.
NSFW but enjoy if u like:

What is your cure for getting out of a creative slump?
That's usually my brain's way of asking for a pause. I look around me: what's going on in my life? Stress? Worries? Grief? Anger? Unresolved problems soaking up the energy?
Show the ol' noggin some compassion and let it have the break it's asking for.
Just don't overdo it.

Disagree 🤔 I mean it would be easier without all that writing but it's also the only requirement for being a writer 😁

Replying to

Ones I've been getting quite a lot of lately, as the ones that say something like , "I tried to post a review on Amazon but couldn't. Is your book on Good Reads?"
First could I sent the GoodReads link, and within 20 minutes a "review" had appeared, compiled by an AI bot from the blurb, and full of fulsome praise. Completely worthless as a review, and the motive unclear.
More details here:

What's that old saying again, 'Write high, edit drunk?' 😜😂 Then again I've never written a sonnet 😁

Every Friday, I meet a member of the British Fantasy Society and peer deep into their soul (or, at least, a form they filled out). Join us to celebrate the release of Marco Michelutto's new novel, and meet the real-world dog that he put into his fantasy academic world.

The temptation to use a different, non-fedi social to share my writing and poetry and thoughts is pretty tempting sometimes.
Like, okay. I don't write smutty spice, or poetry, or whatev else for money, or to build a brand, or to get ppl to sub to my stuffs, but IS nice when ppl read and comment. Mostly tho, I (and other indie writers I guess) are invisible.
Lol, I guess the writing bot likes my stuffs?
I've tried Archive Of Our Own but at least my experience was that if u aren't writing fanfics, u are invisible. Maybe I was doing it wrong?
There's Tumblr, Bluesky, I guess? I hate that if I want real feedback, I have to compromise and use the ick tho! And I mean TOS and data miners ugh.

How do you tell stories when the possibilities are limitless? When time and place mean nothing and everything all at once?
Join us at Writing the Occult: Time & Place on 5 September as we pose that question to some of the most accomplished writers to have set foot in the TARDIS...

#WritersCoffeeClub 8.2 — What's the most challenging thing you've ever written?
Writing sex scenes for ppl I know IRL. It is easier if I've done things with them, but getting someone just right is... challenging. And scary to write.
I dl let the ppl review, but I always worry I've messed it all up.

Okay, #Writers. Who are you using for your covers? Drop me some recommendations for cover artists (maybe a link to their work, or just a chance to post your books). Not interested in people who do their own covers.

Everyone has different styles of creation.
Some do it in the morning. Some need to work at night. Some need white noise; others need silence.
None of these ways are wrong as long as you CREATE.

How doesn't matter. Just CREATE!
Dicen que no son una editorial pero que tienen un sello editorial. Dicen que trabajan de forma altruista y sin fines de lucro, pero para pertenecer a SU FAMILIA hay que pagar un monto muy bajo que va a ser muy beneficioso para ambas partes (?).
Ah! y dicen que la IA generativa no roba y patatas 🤡

Do you remember joy, creative?
It may have been a long time since you could take real pleasure in what you make.
There’s good news. You can get back to that.

Getting out of block is like avoiding heat stroke. It can be done, but it requires you be mindful about doing some things…
And doubly mindful about avoiding others.

Creative, you need hope. Without it, you’ll never commit to your art (why would you, if it might fail).
Without commitment, the art will not be made.
