If I take so much as a week off from a story, I tend to lose connection with that piece. Then I have to reread to get it back. Does this happen to anyone else? #writingq #WritingCommunity

That’s admirable

That is amazing!

I just love third person

😂

I agree 💯

That’s really beautiful

Someone eventually does

What a cool character

This is really beautiful

That’s so true

My MC can relate to that

That sounds lovely

I do t think I could do political intrigue either

That makes sense. Come to think of it, I have a lot of anti-corruption themes. I guess I haven’t avoided politics as much as I thought

I’ve never had a politician as a character before

Those are excellent questions and you’re right

That makes sense. I do explore social issues, just different ones than you mention here (though I do embrace a pro-diversity pov)

That totally makes sense. I guess I meant it in a dull way, like conservative versus liberal. I know it’s more than that, though. I also include social issues like misogyny and the effects of gentrification, but I don’t make direct connections to political parties, if that makes sense

Do you ever include politics in your stories? I try to avoid that because I get enough politics in real life #writingq #WritingCommunity

What does your MC long to be? Blake wishes he was beautiful because he’s tired of being bullied for being the opposite #writingq #WritingCommunity

I want that as well

I love everything about it, especially the chairs

I think it’s a story construction problem too

That’s a lot of rewriting

I know what you mean. I’ve slowed down my process a lot by planning a few chapters ahead. Then I go back, once I’m completely done, and fluff everything up with better details or change some I already had

I can relate

I can relate! I think I’ve finally gotten a solid revision process established

I know what you mean about sentence-level concerns

I have a mix of long and short chapters
