I know it's not a big deal, but I had an old document that I was revising and it had straight quotes and smart quotes. To fix it, FIND, REPLACE quote with quote, and now they are all the same.

What are the best writing resources you’ve ever read/listened to? Mine are James Scott Bell’s “How to Write Best-Selling Fiction” (The Great Courses), JSB’s “Plot and Structure,” and Jessica Brody’s “Save the Cat Writes a Novel.” #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #amrevising #amediting
This early chapter about the nekomata just gets snipped over and over 😂 #WIPSnips #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy
Revisited an old story and wondered why the heck I made it so convoluted.

Been in revision hell for a week. Can't figure out how to bridge this scene, so, trying something new to give my writer brain a different perspective on the chapter. Fun bonus content for readers, methinks? ;) #AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmRevising #IndieAuthor

It’s wild how you finish drafting and think, “That’s it, I will never be able to duplicate that feat,” but also, you will. Finishing an MS is excruciating, and starting another feels impossible, but then you just…do it. #writesky #amwriting #amediting #amrevising #YA #NA #fantasy #writingcommunity
Draft 6 Maeve breaks shit.
Kind of don't hate her.

95% of this story takes place in modern times, but we get an occasional flashback to the Meiji era, when the root of our MCs’ problems took hold. #WIPSnips #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy

Ryo tries to deflect attention from Rin’s abilities, but inadvertently draws attention to himself. #WIPSnips #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writingcommunity #YA #NA #fantasy
"I like the way you're thinking about the story in reaction to the feedback, and that's far and away the most important thing." - my @ThreeDragonsP editor. Now that's tasty commentary.

Why do I write scenes with eleven different characters who each are keeping different secrets having multiple emergencies and reveals all in one moment where they are all talking over one another????
WHY AM I LIKE THIS AS AN AUTHOR
( #AmRevising an impossible scene. 😭)

#amediting #amrevising Returned to an old MS with two goals: make it shorter (116k words is an automatic "no" from most agents), and make it better - in other words, show more, tell less. I'm finding, however, that these two goals are at odds with each other. It's getting better, but also longer. 🫠
Tolkien lived with the fear that he wouldn’t finish The Silmarillion, but in “Niggle” he also shows that even the incomplete work, and the incomplete sanctification of a person, can be redeemed and have value. Utility isn’t everything. #writesky #writingcommunity #amwriting #amrevising #amediting
