#WritingQ
Editing while drafting is the death of momentum. I follow the “make it exist first, it can be good later” model.
When I finish unless I figure out a big problem or change #writingq
No I have my commercial and upmarket #writingq

Is your writing voice consistent across projects? It depends on if it’s a short story or a novel. I use limited description in my short stories which affects my voice #writingq #WritingCommunity

#WritingQ Oo, good one!
This is just my opinion, but I think of the literary definition of an “epic.” Massive story (though it doesn’t have to be tome length) or a vast scope.
Also usually involves a major quest + high stakes.
So for me, an epic can be high OR low fantasy. It’s all about the scope.
Hey #WriteSky fantasy heads, got a #WritingQ for yall tonight:
What qualifies as “Epic” Fantasy?
Is this purely a “I know it when I see it” kind of definition?
I ask because, even after reading plenty of fantasy, epic or otherwise, today’s workshop has me questioning where the genre line falls.

I do minimal edits while writing an initial draft because it's easy to get bogged down and lose momentum.
For draft 2, I commit to an almost wholesale rewrite. 30-50% delta is not at all uncommon.

Do you edit while writing or wait until you’re finished with the first draft? I do light editing like fixing typos or repeated words. But I don’t worry about larger issues until after I finish the first draft #writingq #WritingCommunity

The catalyst for StS is the mystery of who kidnapped Drohim's husband, why, and where he is now. Drohim and Seff have a good idea of who and why, but the where is still unknown - and the answer will come with far more problems than they realize.

I read upmarket books and try to emulate what the author is doing #writingq
#Writingq
Always keeping the clarity of my themes in mind, and removing or rewriting anything that runs counter to them or just doesn’t “jive”.
Thant and ruthlessly hunting down repeated words. At best I can keep anything not a pronoun or name down to once a page. More often once per paragraph.
