Writing Tips - Writing Children's Stories

Today's example in how I'm a Minority Report when it comes to #WritingAdvice.

Coworking & body-doubling are game-changers for many #ADHD creatives, but MY brain refuses to relax into creative flow when most other humans are around.
Even if we're all good friends & supposed to be working silently on our own, MY brain worries they *might* need to interact & stays anchored.

If that's you too, pls know you aren't alone.

I treasure the few frenz I can ignore enough to work around, lol.

Writing out of Order - What can be gained from writing your scenes out of sequence? #amwriting #writerslife #scenes #WritingCommunity #outlines #writingtips #writingadvice

Okay. #Writingadvice, author observation: You wake, laying there, thinking through the scene, writing it with great clarity, living it in your head— Again... Dang it! Just get up and write it! It's so much easier than resolving to write later, later, ever later, until the impulse fades in exhaustion and ADHD procrastination, and it always fades. Always.

What I'd done Saturday.

Then Sunday.

1,600 words. Ended the chapter. Then two bridge paragraphs in the subsequent chapter to accommodate the embarrassingly frisky MCs showing-not-telling circumlocutions—AND why am I writing this sequence in reverse order?

Dunno, but it's working.

Now, back to sleep, hopefully, after two morning hours typing furiously, words that a year ago I'd never have been able to write....

I'm tired.
