Any final thoughts @FromCarly? #WriterInMotion #WIMGames

Something else that was really interesting for me was how different it was to work on #WriterInMotion than, say, #RevPit. Highlighting those small, incremental changes in the stories as opposed to giant changes after a long time really shifts the focus and mindset. #WIMChat

#WIMChat #WriterInMotion @FromCarly, what other advice do you have to offer writers who want to participate in this project in a few weeks (or on drafting and revising in general)?

I have a question for writers: if you're planning to participate in #WriterInMotion, what makes you want to take part? #WIMChat

The idea for the #WriterInMotion project came about in my slack group for writers. As soon as @KJHarrowick thought of doing a blog series, a lot of us thought it would be helpful to see how writing changes through revisions. That's something that ... #WIMChat

On the blog this week! @justine_manzano shares her insights as a #writer and an #editor on what to do when edits hurt.

It's here! It's here! All the final #WriterInMotion pieces, compiled in one post. These authors have worked hard, y'all, and on a personal note, I love seeing all the other editors' notes. 👀

The next rounds of #WriterInMotion drafts is live, this time based on CP feedback. Read them all here:

This weekend, the #WriterInMotion authors posted their second (self-edited) drafts. Here they are, all in one place. Please encourage the authors by leaving comments on their blogs and tweeting your support using #WriterInMotion.

It's #WriterInMotion Week 3! First drafts have been posted!

Give it up for these authors who are sharing the unedited drafts of their short pieces based on last week's prompt.

You can get caught up on the project and read all their first drafts at

What genre do you write?
When a new idea comes to you, do you generally think of plot, character, or the world first?

Please RT as I’d like as broad a sample as possible.
