#AskAnAuthor 28 Thanks @davidgalle.bsky.social for hosting this event. It’s been so cool getting to know so many writers! My next project is about giving a clear guidance on #storytelling, because it’s trickier than it seems. For some is natural, but if it’s not your thing, you might feel lost.

Data visualization tells powerful stories. I use network maps for connections but only when they truly support the narrative. This 2x2 matrix brilliantly shows connectivity distribution vs income levels. What story do you see in this visualization? #storytelling #visualization #data

What’s your method for making a note when you want to incorporate some detail later in a story but can’t right now? Do you put a note in the actual mss in a bright color, do you keep a list in a separate doc, do you jot a physical note down? #writingcommunity #momswritersclub #5amwritersclub

One of the drawbacks of being a pantser is that you will eventually have to drop sub plots, no matter how small, because they don't work out, or it just feels like you're cramming too much into the story in trying to resolve them #WritingCommunity #HorrorAuthor

#writingcommunity how do we feel about stories within a story? My novel has several of them. I try to tie them into the larger narrative, but sometimes I worry that they take away from the main plot. #amwriting #writing #fantasy

#AskAnAuthor 27 I wish, but on the contrary, the book unveils many hidden gems, most of which came from fantasy novels, movies, or series. Knowledge and wisdom flow more freely from the unconscious in this form, bypassing the three barriers and shadows that are inside of us. #WritingCommunity

"The world of non-fiction writing has fundamentally changed, and many of the skills I've developed and built my career on are becoming increasingly irrelevant." Happened before and will happen again - let's call it evolution and "natural" selection 😂 #education #authors #writing #literature

#ClimateChange & procedural #storytelling can go hand-in-hand, just like #TrueDetective #NightCountry demonstrated. The power of nature, and the impact of climate change on Indigenous groups, are woven into the icy core of a story that is both horrifying and hopeful.

Halfway through this one and I'm finding it incredibly useful. I knew much of the information through writing groups and other books on #writing, but viewing it through the lens of brain science feels like hacking the system. Highly recommend for the #writingcommunity!

Stuck on a #writing problem? Think about it in the shower. Seriously, 90% of the time an epiphany shower will do the trick. The rest of the time, sleeping on it or, failing that, free writing (by hand) really helps.

You know what would be cool to see more in fantasy worldbuilding? Some of the more chaotic kinds of natural land formations on earth. For example, barrier islands. The Outer Banks in North Carolina are a really good example of this, and provide a lot to inspire a writer 1/ #writingcommunity #booksky

Why does this scene terrify me? No chases, no explosions—just characters sitting together, talking. Maybe that's the problem. No smoke and mirrors, no distractions. Just raw, unfiltered truth. And maybe that’s scarier than any explosion #writing #writingcommunity

How a novel idea starts for me. I often get ideas while in nature. I write down a beginning and an end. Having an ending always gives a target to reach. Then I create a list with some characters. After that I just let it flow, fill it up as I write! #writer #ukrainian #writingtips #booksky

Do you ever have those moments when a character completely ignores the plot outline you spent months refining and does their own thing? I love the rare moments when they actually fill a plot hole instead of creating one 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 #Writing #ProjectWriteTitania #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Author
