Confronting a character with their bad behaviour backfires spectacularly.#WritingPrompt #AmWriting #writing #WritingCommunity #DogsOfMastodon

Do any of you have a favourite letter? I like to do little alliterations with r words. The idea of my readers growling out a sentence just tickles me.#writing #AmWriting #typography #fonts #GraphicDesign #WritingCommunity

You may be asking yourself - why in heaven's name would someone choose to publish their own book? After all, isn't that a lot more work?Why yes. Yes it is.But there are reasons: https://www.danielaquirke.com/2025/09/03/why-i-chose-to-publish-my-own-book#WritingCommunity #Bookstodon

Question for #publishing folks:I've sent 2 rights reversion requests to my publisher (address verified with my former editor). Can't get confirmation of receipt. What's the best approach here? Keep sending the same letter? Have a lawyer send a copy for me? Head to NYC and try to deliver the letter by hand?FWIW I'm pretty clear they're going to refuse, but I can't even get confirmation they know I've asked. #books #writing #writingcommunity

Question for the #WritingCommunity and also for readers. Would be especially grateful to hear from non-white folk.My current WIP is an industrial fantasy and set in a city where “white” people are a minority. The vast majority of the characters have brown skin. None of the cultural and ethnic tensions in the novel — of which there are many — have anything to do with skin colour. None of the “races” or cultures can be mapped onto Earth versions.I did this because I hate “white-as-default” in fantasy and in general, because it makes sense with the history of this world, and because while I am writing about cultural and religious conflict, I’m doing it from the perspective of someone from Northern Ireland, where skin colour has nothing to do with the traditional sectarian tensions. However, I myself am pretty obviously white.Obviously nobody can tell if I’m being problematic from one post, but I worry anyway. So: if anyone has any thoughts they think I should hear I would be beyond grateful.

@justincox if it makes you feel any better, the first draft I wrote for my Fedi promo video was absolutely appalling. I had to discard every single line… but then I was so horrified that I got inspired to write v2 as if I was talking to a dear friend. And loved the result… it’s super close to the final script for the video 😅
