Writer of literary fiction focusing on identity. Why? I'm still trying to figure that out one book at a time. Write what you know is a problem for me. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Ally Always 🌈✨| Respect, Love, Equality ❤️ | Team Blue For Life 💙🌊
Ensemble scenes - such as the one I have with 6 different characters - are terrible to write.

As crazy as it sounds, I am writing a book on writing my book. I am using so many *novel* techniques that I started cataloguing them. So I'm just going to publish that alongside my book at the same time. Here is my book. Here is how I made this book.

Feels odd to say: She was silent. Isn't that just what happens when people don't say anything?

Edit, revise, finish. Feel good for ten minutes. Take a walk. Breath in the fall air. Stretch. Read it again. Dog poop.

The secret to writing is the same as a jigsaw puzzle. Just push the pieces that don't fit in really hard.

I can only keep my concentration for so long, then everything turns to gibberish. I can feel my grip slipping. Thoughts scatter. I know the flow is wrong, but I can't put together how.

Feedback is ugly and brutal. Look on my repetitive verbs, ye Mighty, and despair!

Reader: How can anyone take 13 years to finish a book?
Writers: 300k words? That tracks.

I am an uneducated writer. I have not read enough. I can only do what feels right to me without knowing any better and proudly display my crayon scribblings next to masters.

"Lennox gave a *hoarse* chuckle." That would have been a really funny typo to miss.

Back Pressure: deliberate counter-pacing that withholds the next causal beat and saturates the moment with thematically charged particulars, converting the reader’s narrative hunger into bodily unease.

Inadvertent tongue twister. Looks fine on the page, but out loud it is three times later and speaking very slowly.

Four months later...eesh...revision 3 done with at least one more to go. Past me, 90% was very optimistic. I should be celebrating, but...tired.
I finished two revisions of my book! I am 90% done! ...begins line editing...two days and one page later...make that 1%.

This character would not do that, plot or no. The words saying they do are all a lie. Sure that upends the book, but misunderstanding the character so badly - and letting people see that in print - is so much worse.
