Creativity flows best when I write from my laptop near a window with a view of the woods and music matching my current mood. How about you? How do you best write? #F4F, #amwriting #authors #MFA #assignments #writers #writerslife #suspense #mystery #HistoricalFiction #moodwriting

“When a writer uses dialogue, language exactly mirrors the event” says David Lodge. This is the purest form of show don’t tell. W/out solid narrative, though, the show will close. #amwriting #MFA #authors #readers #WritingCommunity #stories

Capturing the internal character—the true essence-is far more difficult than we imagine. What #character best does this 4 u? Scarlett OHare? #MFA #story #WritingCommunity #readingcommunity #amwriting #read

#MFA new-to-me term: #interrobang. Have u heard of this? It is used in the rare moment when a sentence is both #exclamatory AND a #question. Can be written: !? or ?! Did you eat the whole cake?! #weird #amwriting #author #WritingCommunity #writers

My MFA wisdom for the day: if your inner editor or critique partners aren't willing to tell you your slip is showing, what good are they? Readers know when a book is written well.

Great #editing advice in my #MFA class today: "Most #writers feel committed 2 their wording once on paper, which can be a barrier to #revision." American Journal Editing. Yep. We don't want to harm the precious. But must. Makeovers are good :) Do U like 2 edit your work?

#MFA teaches sooo much. Finally wrote a #query that produced results! Whoever says MFA isn’t worth the time hasn’t put in the time. So #thankful to my instructors! #snhu #fiction #suspense #celebrate

Tale of an #MFA #student. All I did was post in the #writer's group some good news. Another student responded they'd been in a funk, and because of my post, they felt #inspired to get back to work. How cool is that? We all help each other! #writeon

What I learned #MFA is to have fun on vacation #character watching. I saw a woman who had an #intellectual vibe. She showed #class the way she drank #champagne but surely thought no one saw her pick her teeth. A beautiful #contrast. #writer living #story character

It’s amazing how a different person can explain what is known and bring the aha moment. #MFA #feelingsmart #stories #amwriting What was the last new info you learned?

The sole purpose of #backstory is to tell why. The #story has moved forward, #readers r curious y the fisherman stopped at the door. What captured his attention AND what from his past made it special today? #MFA #amwriting #amreading #stories

When you #write, when you #read, do you choose what others dictate or do you feed your mood? Your soul? If you enjoy a #book, the #story you write, then finish it. You r not alone. #amwriting #amreading #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #MFA
