#WordWeavers 5/25. Do you prefer writing wealthy, middle class, or indigent characters?

I mix them up bc how else would I make them clash and burn it all down?

My stories often feature an element of class struggle, and because I hate simplifications and generalizations, I bring in different ppl from different walks of life and force them to work together to, y' know, fuck shit up πŸ”₯ it's great fun!

#WritersCoffeeClub 25 May: Tell us about a non-writer who has had the most influence on your writing.

My BFF. Has been there from the start encouraging me, listening to my quirks and problems, discussing story ideas, giving me some tough love when I beat myself up, and just generally made me feel like my work is worthwhile. it's at the point where i design little story ideas for them cause i don't know how else to express my gratefulness.

But shame is not good enough. I need to fight back in any way I can, no matter how small. I need to keep my hope because I know there are many people out there who deserve it, who deserve my best.

The shame I feel is exacerbated by the rise of the fascist fuckfaces of the #fuckAfD and the bootlicking of the #fuckCDU and #fuckFDP. It's literally 1933 all over again, and this time, we really have no excuse. We need to vote them out of our parliaments. Germans: please vote. It's important.

German police failed the victims spectacularly, and continues to fail their families to this day. How any of those responsible for this failing can still look themselves in the mirror is a mystery to me. You are despicable pieces of shit and I hope you never get to smile again.

#WritersCoffeeClub 13. How do you organize your writing projects?

File management: I have a folder called Writing and inside that a folder called Current Projects. Inside Current Projects, each novel I intend to complete has its own folder.

For the actual writing I now use yWriter. I find it suits the way I write, which is to focus on scenes. The software makes it easy to move scenes around within and between chapters. Final polishing will be done in LibreOffice.

A screen shot of the yWriter software in use. In the left hand column there is a list of chapters. Currently there are 6 of them. At the top of the right hand panel is a list of the scenes in Chapter 5. In the bottom right hand panel the opening lines of the highlighted scene are shown.
