Jane Jago | 888 comments I have a big ring-bound notebook so I can have a page for each character. And some of the pages have a LOT of swear words one them

Dan Burley (danburleyauthor) | 112 comments One of my least favorite things about writing is coming up with a really, really good scene, but ultimately having to cut it because it doesn't really add anything.

Denae Christine (denaechristine) | 167 comments I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

I add extra Es to words. I clearly get distracted by goodreads. I type anagrams (solider instead of soldier is a common one for some reason). I google words to double-check I'm using them correctly (like anagram just now).

Thankfully, I don't randomly switch tenses. I will has that one down when written. ;P

When I write a scene or conversation I really like but can't keep, I sometimes spend hours trying to fit it into a different scene/setting/chapter just so I don't have to kill my darlings. :/

This story sounds like the perfect inspiration for a story.

Jasmine Bankin | 3 comments Hello everyone my name is Jasmine I am currently in the process of a few projects. With my creative juices always flowing I have the tendency to jump back and forth then catch writers block.

Now focusing on one short story I'm not sure how many chapters should be in it.
