This week on The Write Stuff we are chatting with Mystery Writer Angela Wren who has kindly agreed to share her time with us as we talk about the exciting new addition to her series, where it all began for her as an author, what the best and worst things about writing are, and the vital importance of chocolate to the writing process! #writers #writing #writingcommunity #Author #authors ##mysterywriters https://open.substack.com/pub/lawrenceg/p/the-write-stuff-featuring-mystery?r=2agwdo&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/1. Workers' Day: What can we do to support and protect other writers, not only now, but in the future as well? I just joined the Society of Authors in the UK which describes itself as the union for writers. So backing an organisation which actually works for writers rights (and is 100% opposed to AI). In comparison the Alliance of Independent Authors have a "relaxed" attitude to AI, which I find appalling. ("Oh we can't be too strident because we don't want to upset the authors that use it.") Grrrrr. #writing #writingCommunity

#PennedPossibilities 1000: Speaking of the changes since this project’s start, how do you think you’ve grown as a writer since this hashtag began? Have you published anything? Have your writing habits changed? First of all, thank you so much for these prompts, @floofpaldi@mindly.social . They are so helpful. In the last three years, I've published several books. I set up my own store through PayHip. I'm on track to finish the W&P series. I'm still firmly indie and love it. #WritingCommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 4/30 - What's a problem you solved in your creative work this month? I figured out the (tiny) plot for the second Wolf Bonus Story and finished writing it. I also know two ways of getting the cover for that one, so I should be able to set it all up for my readers soon. This one will have Liz and Eric as MC, as it's for Book 2. Plus I now have a plan for my next release (Moon Rises) in July, and I'm actually organizing marketing for the launch. #WritingCommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/29. Share the best sentence you wrote this month.

(I thought I’d posted a response to this because I did write it, but it turns out I didn’t post it, and then I deleted it to make way for tomorrow’s answer. This is more or less what I wrote before.)

I’ve been cranking out words at high speed, so I don’t really have a best, anyway you can have this:

The power of the miralin was tremendous just when Maylees thought they couldn’t go any faster, Khu would flex more and send them shooting across the waves like a boat with a hurricane filling its sails.

Miralin is the in-world name for mer-folk.

For context, imagine this is like the scene in the 1978 Superman where he’s taking Lois for that romantic flight. But with water. And nudity.

Brilliant Hope What we thought was a beacon shining bright upon the hill hid the train careening down tracks made rusty and crooked by cut corners and corruption unchecked but with every protest made whistle blown and hand raised hope kindles new brilliance against the dark. #WritingCommunity #Poetry https://ko-fi.com/post/Brilliant-Hope-Y8Y01YNRSQ A little support goes a long way. If you’d like to help me keep creating, consider buying me a Ko-Fi! #KoFi #Support https://ko-fi.com/crewmansix/tip Also, have I mentioned that my birthday is this weekend? Cuz... my birthday is this weekend! Do with that information as you please. #BirthdayShenanigans https://throne.com/crewmansix

I've been invited out to a writers' open mic at The Albion in Guelph tonight. I don't think I'll get an opportunity to read. They have seven minute slots and my current piece, on a cold read, was ten and a half. Mostly looking to see what the #WritingCommunity in Guelph looks like. I could definitely use more peers.

#ScribesAndMakers 4/28. Are you interested in etymology? Is there a word with an origin you find especially interesting? Interested in? Yes, I like to know how words have evolved. And I think it's important for full comprehension. Give a specific one? Pass. #writing #writingCommunity

#eroticMusings Week 48 (April 26-May 2) Setting PoV (any character): What’s something you think is special about the place you’re in?

Maylees is absolutely delighted to discover that mermaids do, in fact, exist after she rescues one (called Khu) from drowning.

A drowning mermaid? It’s complicated, and ultimately sapphic.

Although it’s on order I don’t yet have a machine capable of rendering Maylees, Khu and the ocean in the same image but here’s a textual taster. (Oh, Khu cannot pronounce Maylees name, it comes out as “Nayee”.)

The soft warmth of Nayee pressed against Khu’s body and she never wanted it to end. Only the slightest boost from her tail kept them both floating, as the ocean rose and fell around them.

Gute Nacht, Freunde. Very little writing (but I know what Moon will face next). My focus went to finally setting up a Ben & Sylvia bonus story as a "subscriber lure". And now, this lure is dangling in the water, waiting for little fan fishies to bite. If you enjoyed A Wolf's Quest (free in all stores!), here's the link for the bonus story. You'll have to enter your email - but you can always unsubscribe. https://dl.bookfunnel.com/t0f4zpexi4 #WritingCommunity #WolfShifter

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/27. Share a possibly unpopular opinion. 👀 (Be kind!) Every time I see an author striving for being trad published, I wince inside. Trad publishing is a cruel mill, crushing dreams, crushing books. It is run by investment companies who couldn't care less about stories, and they certainly no longer build up authors. I do understand the yearning for recognition and a slice of fame, but trad... trad is crushing people. So ask me anything about being indie. #WritingCommunity

#ScribesAndMakers 4/24. Our next featured creator has a "love/hate affair with common tropes." What's your relationship with tropes? We're just good friends. Don't listen to gossip. I have no problem with them in general, tropes make the reader comfortable and can be a shorthand around long explanations. But it's also nice to liven things up by breaking tropes. The writers of Buffy (Marti Noxon et al) loved doing this. #writing #writingCommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub 4/24. Share a silly mistake you've made while writing. Is silly the right word? Whatever. Most recently I had a "him" when I needed a "her" - it was a critically important distinction, and I didn't even notice until I was listening to the audiobook files. The mistake was due to a character that was no longer a "he" (it's complicated). Many of the characters knew about the change but *not* the one who said that line who said what they could see - but I got it wrong because I knew. #writing #writingCommunity

#Patreon supporters on my #writing profile now have early access to Episode 33 of "The Cleansing".

#ScribesAndMakers 4/23. Have fairy tales influenced any of your creative work? Probably but in no identifiable way. #writing #writingCommunity
