#writerscoffeeclub May 23. What gets in the way of your writing?

The need to pay bills and thus earning money aka doing my day job.

And sometimes people who need attention for whatever reason.

Oh. And social media. Yup, logging off now.

#wordweavers May 23. Are your MCs picky about where they sleep?

As long as it's safe, no. If they were, they wouldn't sleep.
(And if it's not safe, they don't sleep (much) either).

#phantastikprompts 23.5.:
Was würdest du im Zweifel eher ändern, das Ende, auf das deine Geschichte hinläuft, oder den Weg, den die Figuren nehmen? Warum?

Pantser hier. Also definitiv das Ende. Für #Alsterdiamanten hatte ich was anderes im Kopf, aber Leander und Sophie haben sich durchgesetzt.
Tja.

#pennedpossibilities 323 — What's a piece of advice for writers that you listened to and are glad for?

I believe it was Marion Zimmer Bradley who said something like writing is 10% talent and 90% practice (or 20% and 80%?).

Anyway, I remembered that. And though I felt I sucked when I started, I kept on writing for fun, and now people who have never met me give my stories 4-5 stars.
