Does anyone have tips or app suggestions for keeping projects organized while keeping the big picture in mind for #writers and #creators? I'm getting overwhelmed with everything I have going on. #writingcommity #organizers

Have you ever felt a hunger to live?

I dreamed of coming here to write for a whole year.

Now I'm trying to let the words leak at the Orient Cafe in Budapest.

Are you caught in the never-ending quest for the perfect note-taking system? Instead of constantly being haunted by the pursuit of efficiency, I find greater happiness in your note-taking journey after I start embracing imperfection. I would like to share two mindsets to overcome the desire for perfection and find greater happiness while taking notes - wabi-sabi and healthy skepticism.

Let me know what you think- https://open.substack.com/pub/joonhyeokahn/p/embrace-your-imperfect-note-taking?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

I lately figured out I can write way better in an environment with limitations.

For example, there's a café near me that has great coffee but no wifi. Additionally, they only offer two hours of free parking. Surprisingly, these limitations have actually helped me channel all my energy and complete tasks that used to take me over four hours."

Use limitations for your #writing!

Maybe, he felt a hunger to live,
when he climbed into the sky
and stepped into nothing without falling yet,
but attempted to fly to have no regrets.

You will never find YOUR perfect software for #pkm.

Once I embraced this and settle down with #obsidian, I was able to grow the digital garden without experiencing FOMO.

All we need is a DECENT tool for our thoughts, ideas, and knowledge.

What is the ideal chapter length for you?

I'm asking writers and readers here.

In my first 30 000 words for the witching novel, I struggle to divide them into chapters.

We lose a job. We lose friends. A loved one dies. A marriage ends. Something perfect turns out not to be. Something meant to stand forever, crumbles apart and falls. Everything that flickers eventually fades. Every expression of fixity yields to alteration and sway.

Between the experience and the recognition, the remembering lasts longer than the event.

It’s been said before, but more people should read short stories. There’s so much incredible literary work that people are missing simply because short stories don’t enjoy the same cultural cache that books do. I know reading in general has declined, and there are a lot of socioeconomic reasons for that. But you can read a short story in a fraction of the time and still come away with profound, emotional, intellectual, and irreverent reading experiences.

Sending out a couple queries today.

Wish me luck!

We found our Mastodon password, finally.

Out of necessity, we remain mostly on Twitter and Instagram though are hoping the social media dust settles and we can be on a new platform where the writing and publishing lit journal communities is.

Though there's been a dozen platforms come and go in the last few months. Frustrating to watch the engagement drop off and communities fracture. #writingcommity

New story posted to my FA! This one is the first of a new series I'm starting as an introduction to all my main OCs and the world of the story I'm writing about them!

Today's features Wolfgang, a meek but wholesome anthro dragon! If you want to learn more about him and/or the fantastical world he resides in, read away!

I've got an audio version of the Pleased charity anthology coming out within the next four weeks, and needed to know how long it would take to upload to Spotify via Soundcloud, so I tested it with a track I did last year, with vocals from Sin B.

Writers! Just because some words have multiple different meanings does not mean you should use those other meanings!

While technically the sentence "She rapped the door" is correct and it simply means she struck the door rapidly...you had to pick that word?

I understand what homophones are but I think we can all agree that some words mean one thing and one thing only.
