Mastodon absolutely needs more journalists. We should not have millions of people boosting one another’s ideas without a solid contingent of people in here professionally trained to vet stories, check facts, and use best practices for sharing news. It is, imo, an urgent issue & critical for the ongoing success of the fediverse #Press

What do you do to break out of a writing funk? Where do you go for #inspiration?

Instagram Threads vs Mastodon. Looks like an easy choice.

My lovely, sad and powerful play Everything Bagel just landed a publication. Details to come!

Question for #writers at what point did you make a website? I’m now a published short fiction author, poet and playwright, and also have an optioned screenplay. Is that a good time to take the leap? None of the above accolades have been high paying, hence the hesitation

Joined Read My Play. Interesting points formula. Prevents someone from offering pittance for an epic saga (ahem Coverfly). Looking forward to seeing the feedback! #playwright #amwriting #screenwriting

NY is banning pirsoners from publishing most creative works: nysfocus.com/2023/06/06/doccs-

This is a blatant First Amendment problem, but fucking over prisoners and hoping no one will notice is kind of the norm. So let's notice.

Here's a petition you can sign: actionnetwork.org/letters/prot

And then, why not check out some essays & art by currently incarcerated people, in some cases authored at great risk to themselves: labs.jstor.org/second-chance-e

As part of the merger, the PGA will control holes 1-8 and 12-18.

The Saudis do 9-11.

@sethhalleway I write in tiny sprints. If my 3 year old actually sleeps I get about an hour each weekday from 5-6

I feel the need to remind myself of this today:
WRITING that first draft is for yourself;
REVISING it is for your readers.

@stina_marie it’s so much fun

Sent out my first full length play to some calls. I’m super proud of this sad and (I hope) inspiring story. #playwriting #amwriting

Hi, #writingcommunity

I’m nearing a point with my first completed novel where I’m contemplating publication. I know folks willing to do a read through, but I’m interested in a stranger’s perspective. Friends will look at me a little askance. A stranger, they’re just gonna either hate my writing or me and I’m okay with either.

Is there anyone out there with ~96K words’ of reading time willing to be cruel but fair?

@Lironah My plan of attack is to attack each scene in order of the screenplay and expand, re-format, then see where I'm at as far as word count. From there I will decide what gaps need filling (still in current scene order) and finally rearrange as needed to make scenes flow as a novel. Sound like a good approach?

Considering adapting one of my feature screenplays into a novel. Any advice from those who have done this? #amwriting #screenwriting #fiction #writerslife

I figured out (at least for the moment) the source of that buzzing excitement when reading a script draft that I’m really proud of. It’s nice to have positive feedback, but the excitement comes from knowing I am successfully saying WHAT I WANT TO SAY. Whether anyone ever produced this, I am succeeding and god damn it feels good. #amwriting #playwriting #screenwriting

Ukrainian refugee flees to Columbus OH with her 2-yr-old child. Moves back to Kyiv because the bus service is so bad. talkingpointsmemo.com/prime/a-

Another friend, Lena, moved to Chicago, and then Columbus, Ohio, as a refugee. She ended up describing to me an experience that sounded like a liberal’s nightmare of the modern immigrant experience: she couldn’t afford a car, and ended up spending two hours on unreliable bus lines in Ohio in the morning and in the evening, struggling between making it to English classes, minimum wage work, and taking her two-year old child to daycare that she could barely afford. Lena eventually decided it would be easier to take her chances in Kyiv, where the government provides free childcare, and moved back.

@josephrhea stick to it! Even 15 minutes at a time adds up if you are consistent!
