Sometimes what my cat writes when he walks over the keyboard makes more sense than what's going on between my ears. #amwriting

Holy shit the greatest political ad ever made. If you can vote for this woman, do it. Also, the studios should hire whomever did this.

Please stop saying "You can't joke about anything anymore". You can. You can joke about whatever the fuck you like. And some people won't like it and they will tell you they don't like it. And then it's up to you whether you give a fuck or not. And so on. It's a good system.

It’s hard enough juggling family & finances while studying. The education supplement made it possible for lots of everyday Australians to struggle through & find gainful employment. But the Fed Govt won’t have that. #RaiseTheRate
The govt introduced legislation this morning to cut an education supplement received mostly by single parents & people w disability. Below are the cuts to fortnightly payments if the legislation passes. These cuts will hurt ppl trying to skill up and find paid work. #RaisetheRate
"Writers acquire their technique by spotting, savoring, and reverse-engineering examples of good prose." Steve Pinker @sapinker reverse-engineers all kinds of writing in this funny, clever, well written book. Please read it.

Hi #writers. I've hit a Twitter ceiling -- I can't follow anyone else until I get more followers. I think I have to get to 4,500 and I'm around 1400 short. If any writer follows me in however long it takes to get there, I'll follow you back when I can. #writingcommunity
The Cambridge Dictionary has declared nomophobia, the word that describes the stress and anxiety caused by being separated from your mobile device, as the People’s Word of 2018. I can relate to that!

Just bought Larry Brooks' @storyfix book 'Story Fix' with a foreword from @michael_hauge and was reminded (for good reason) how important it is to get the damn thing written! Looks like an excellent book -- can't wait to get stuck into it.

Most important video I have seen in a long time. This is why I have to do my spiritual practice daily, read incredibly simple guides to being a decent person, over and over. Good for writers - daily practice. Thanks @alaindebotton #writingcommunity

A dark-day caterpilly
crawled in through a place
worn thin
by jagged nails and trying
on glass slippers.
Years it took
until I heard the flutter
the tap tap
the beat of restless dreams.
Until storm-rent trees fell,
splitting.
Out, butterfly with bloody wings.

Good old Albert had the right idea. Actually he had rather a lot of them.

Martin Esslin in his book 'The anatomy of drama' describes what a writer must produce in order to keep their audience with them in the story. Without this, the 'more lofty and ambitious intentions' of the work are lost. I like how he says it. Oldy but goody.

My writing procrastination has reached a new low, or high, depending on your POV. There are alpacas in my #WIP. That's my only excuse. I clearly have impulse control issues. Mr Eastwood, Ms Blanchette, my apologies and respects.

How do you feel about feedback? This among other great ideas discussed in Tim Schildberger's article 'Why do I write? 6 basic truths about writing.'

Excellent article. I've been thinking about my story very visually, putting actors into scenes and imagining how they would move in a film. This takes it all a few steps further, exploring angles and distances as shown in prose. Thanks Kristen!

I stumbled upon Kal Bashir's Hero's Journey, Monomyth (2100+ stages) I haven't read all the stages, but I love these story comparisons. They highlight how strongly story structure is embedded in our psyches. And good for a grin
