Please check out my lovely friend Daria’s latest podcast where she discusses the importance of listening to understand and fostering communication. (She also makes other great podcasts giving excellent writing advice, so check out her other ones too!)

Right now writing is my hobby. I spend as much time and energy on it as I can, but it is still a hobby for me at the moment. If writing is a hobby for you too do you feel like it is just a hobby or like a 2nd job? If it is your full time job, how did you get to that level?

Patience is so hard when waiting to hear back from applications. How do you deal with waiting when it comes to other topics too such as writing related topics? #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity

I’ve decided to keep my original plan for my main antagonist after thinking over this for months. It means I can finally move forward and continue with my story. How do you keep from getting distracted by needless diversions from your main story? #amediting #amwriting

Decluttered my laptop today in preparation of classes starting again soon and also to help stay organized during my editing process. I like having easy access to my notes and my WIP. Is there anything special you refer to while editing or writing? #amediting #amwriting

I want to be finished with this round of edits by April. I know I can do it because I got through the major rough patches already, but I wanted to share my goal here. What writing goals are you working towards? #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

It’s been a year since I started my writing twitter! I’ve gotten further in my edits with the help of this community! I’m hoping to be less absent on my Twitter this month. Last semester was a major hurdle, but I’m done with it now😊 #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Wow this semester has been a lot harder than I imagined. It’s really cut into my editing schedule, but this is my second to last semester. Any tips for getting back into a good routine for juggling editing, essays, reading, writing for classes, and tests? #amediting #amwriting

I’ve been pretty busy until now working on my midterms. I’m so glad they are over! I’m also becoming more aware of how little time is left this year, so I was thinking: what are some of your writing goals you want to get done before this year is over? #WritingCommunity

Yesterday was my birthday and it got me thinking. When do you give your characters’ birthdays and do you make sure to give every character one or only the main ones? #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Today I'm ready to get back to editing! I am actually looking forward to writing up some scenes I need to add in. I haven't had time in a few months, so I'm excited to get these completed. What is one victory you've had recently? #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Can anyone in the #WritingCommunity or #bookbloggers help @MeredithRankin2 out?

Happy Check in Friday! I feel like I’m making slow progress in my editing, but I try to give myself a break knowing that I have been working on other projects as well including ones for my classes. I’m so ready to meet my goals though! How was your week? #WritingCommunity

Do you have any favorite Halloween books or movies you read and watch during the month of October? I have movies that I watch, but no specific books👻🎃

Are you currently working on a Halloween or fall-themed WIP? I'm so happy it is officially fall, as this is my favorite time of the year! #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.” I cannot wait to read this sequel (in between reading for classes and editing of course)! I couldn’t put The Handmaid’s Tale down when I read it a few years ago. The show is the same way. Definitely recommend both. #WritingCommunity

How much time passes in your WIP? Does it take place over a day, month, year, or more? Do you make sure to include the seasons changing or do you show the time changing in a different way? #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Happy check-in Friday! I hope your week has been great! I’ve been a little busy with classwork this week. I’m getting back into the hang of things, but this weekend my goal is to start editing regularly again. How was your week? #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

Since I’m in a little bit of a slump at the moment, let me know of one good thing that has happened in your writing journey recently. #amediting #amwriting #WritingCommunity

It was finally cooler here yesterday and it got me thinking: Does the weather or climate impact how you write? Does it motivate you or not? #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity
