can we start a writing craft thread?

what are things that work for/help you when it comes to writing?

things you want to work on?

please share tips, tricks, goals, questions, practices—anything you’d like!

a note: writing advice is NOT one-size-fits-all, so if you disagree with something mentioned, that’s very very fine!!

i’d love for this to be an encouraging & improvement-focused word nerd thread something that folks can read through & take or leave as they see fit

i’ll start!

discovering the concept of “filtering” was a gamechanger for me. it’s not something i follow in all cases, but i’m a lot more intentional with my writing—and EDITING—now because of it! https://www.scribophile.com/academy/an-introduction-to-filtering

I also really want to work on character voice and motivations!
