The Writing Lab, 19 April 2026 World building, 1/?

A little edit done and (I think) complete. At this point my brain cannot discern what is good or bad in terms of my own work.

I've either edited this into something wonderfully weird or utterly shite.

Only the morning has the answers. Pleased I kept the original!

Jumps in thought can make your main character sound real & help explain their unexpected decisions.

Hey, I got a thing going on in less than two weeks. All the info’s on the pic. Hope to see you May 2 in Des Moines! #dsmbookfestival #writer #writersofbluesky

With an acrylic landscape, Al stole Lu's heart
But the work she loved was not Al's art
His #trickery showed its face the day
The artist came by to collect his pay
"I wonder," the stiffed painter huffed to Lu,
"what other lies Al has used on you." 🤨

All THAT said, I believe there’s a GIANT difference between AI slop and AI collaboration for brainstorming/editing/beta reading, etc.

It’s a 🌶️ take, I know.

#WritersOfBlueSky, I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions about #WritingWithAI 🤔

#WordWeavers⁩ Apr 19: If your SC was going on a trip, would they pack light or take too much?

Markos would take only what he needed, because he knows how to hunt and forage.

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 19: How can prose achieve lyricism without verse structure?

If I could articulate the answer to this, I'd be a better writer.

Beginnings don’t need to tell everything. They just need to make the reader want more.

Where was Antok…? If that thing had smashed the binoculars, Antok’s prognosis wasn’t good. His mind raced, and he became painfully aware of the awkward position he’d frozen in, as he felt a cramp threaten to drag along the back of his calf. Call it in. You need to call it in. The rational part of his brain screamed at him as he stood there, ignoring the frigid drops of rain that trickled their way down the back of his neck. It’s happening again; call it in! The thing stretched languidly, and in the flickering breach-light, Gatesman Fields watched as an unmistakable crimson stain was sluiced off the thing’s blades by the rain. Oh. He wondered who was going to give the news to Antok’s husband.

Next chapter of #Oathsworn is up on #Patreon! As a reminder, I'm posting this trilogy as I write it, and you can get access to that and everything else I write-poems, fanfic, short stories, essays-for as little as £1 a month.

I'm Curious About Your Vote Because I can't decide what I want to do for my latest writing project, lol (Actually, I think I did decide).

And here’s that question I told you I was thinking of. What do you think? 🤔 Names can be tough. #writing #poll #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Hey, #WritersOfBluesky...

Do you worry about your daily word count?

#WritersCoffeeClub Apr 18: does your writing ever get away from you? (plot bunnies…?)

Since I'm primarily a pantser, all the time! Pancras, one of the protagonists of Scars of the Sundering, is the result of plot bunnies in Wings of Twilight.
