Nobody will ever hate my #writing more than I do, which is kind of freeing.

I want to read more local books if anyone can recommend any Kiwi authors. #booksky #writingcommunity #nzfiction

Early in the #writing process new ideas are wonderful, but late in the process every new idea is a curse. #writingcommunity

I've had a hiatus from #writing and #editing while I sort out life stuff, but happy to report last night I cracked open a beer and my laptop and put in some hours work on a new project. #writingcommunity

#editing thought of the day: How tired was I when I was writing this chapter? #writingcommunity

I don't understand people who follow career 'influencers'. What is desirable about being the 'influenced'?

If I had nothing else to do I'd sit in a room and write all the stories I have in my head and be lighter afterwards.

Do you ever read a book so good that it makes you consider giving up trying to be a writer? #writingcommunity

Someone please confirm for me that the first round of self-editing is the worst edit. #writingcommunity

My experience with self editing has been largely negative. But I've had a brealthrough today. An idea that will really fit quite nicely into the story. For once I am excited to get back at it tomorrow.

I've been #editing the same chapter for days. Granted, it's one of the longer ones I've written and one which is particularly important to get right. I think I'll celebrate with a beer when it is done. #writingcommunity

I swear the amount of AI, bots, and scam posts are growing by the hour. All over internet, sure, but honestly seems particularly prolific in the #writingcommunity these days. Be careful friends.

I kind of hate social media, he posted.

Feel like you're not getting #engagement on social media? 🤷‍♂️ Try this one trick! The next time you make a post and it is immediately lost to the empty void, don't fear. Instead, let go your earthly attachments and embrace the void instead. Become one with the void. ❤️🌌 #writesky #writingcommunity

Didn't whittle away at any worlds today. Life, work and family don't always permit it, but that's okay. Tomorrow. #writesky #writingcommunity

Not sure if my #writing is getting better or my taste is getting worse. #writersky #writingcommunity

With the ice caps melting, all the world leaders being dicks, sea turning to acid, microplastic in our dna, AI ruining art and taking everybodys jobs. With all that going on, if you're still finding the motivation to pursue your weird hobbies, then you are really quite resilient. #writingcommunity

Looking for alternatives to Word and OneDrive. Sick of this CoPilot pish. Any good open-source / DIY options out there?
