Addendum. This is so annoying: A person commented on a post I have written about this issue on Tumblr, then asked me "just out of curiosity" what feedback I would wish to get from a beta reader. I answered (in general terms) and then they offered to beta read for me. What part of "I don't need a beta reader" didn't they understand?
These paid beta readers seem to be desperate to get customers, so they'll try anything, I guess.

Bold Resolve

When
in the course
of current events
we are called
to question
the bonds
that hold us
we must recall
the truths
Equality
we strive for
and decide
for ourselves
Liberty
how to fight
for those
Community
who cannot.

In those days, when we could still talk, you taught me that it is not our responsibility to fulfil anybody else's expectations, but that we are souls in distinction, having only to fit into our own shoes.

Our roads split, when hatred started to devour the person I knew. You fought so hard to lose yourself. I guess you won.

But I wanted you to know, that I still remember.

I love you.

Travel gently, now.

Indy authors in the UK, who prints your books? Does anyone have experience with #Bookvault? I am interested in printing a limited run of quality hardbacks and Bookvault seems to offer the best bespoke options. Has anyone used them or a UK printer they are happy with? #WritingComunity #AskFedi

Coming Soon to #Wattpad Bobby Champion swore he was done. His trainer Lenny Moran once said, “Wrestling is a sickness.” He thought walking away would cure him. But the boots remain. The jacket still hangs. And now… a mask waits. Can he return to the ring without losing himself all over again?

#WritersCoffeeClub August 12- How does the morality of the characters you write differ from your own?

The morality of my characters often strays from my own. They make choices I’d never make, just to see where those paths lead.

My characters often carry morals sharper or blurrier than mine, take risks I wouldn’t, so I can explore truths I might never touch in real life.

2025-06-23 - Have any of your pets ever appeared in your work? Which ones?

My eldest asked me to include our cat in my story. So, I made her into a gryphon that the MCs slaughtered.

Relationship with eldest has never been quite the same.

2025-06-23 - Conversely, what’s the worst piece of writing advice you’ve ever encountered?

Anything that falls under a style:

- never use adverbs
- said-bookisms
- never use first-person narrative

That said, if you need three adverbs strung in a row to describe your actions then your style is shit (looking at you, JK).

" ...the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." - FDR, 1938

I'm printing this out. Great explainer. Very clear.

Woo hoo! Just hit the 10,000 word mark in my latest WIP. Only another 60,000 to go... #WritingComunity #WritingLife #LesFicRomance

Found this on Bluesky (via @jendiagammon) and it looks useful. I wanted to bookmark it, but Bluesky doesn't have that feature yet, so I'm sharing it over here so that I, and anyone else in the Mastodon #WritingComunity, can bookmark it.

I just finished reading it and, while midway I wasn't sure where it was going, the journey turned out to be as good as the destination.

You Wouldn’t Steal A Poem

Have you ever wanted to steal the way something sounds? Have you ever wanted to take something you just heard someone say but twist it to your bizarre whims? Good news! Maybe you can live out that fantasy without actually committing a thoughtcrime (or a real crime). The holorhyme constraint is a tool for creating experimental poetry.

The Writing Prompt

The goal of the exercise is to take an existing piece of text and write a new one based entirely on rhyming words. This could even be adapted to the particular dialect, affectation, or speed at which someone talks (and how you heard it). I’ve even seen this used as a type of satire to borrow the rhythm and texture of a well-known speech or dramatic monologue and make a total mockery of it. Use with caution.

Think of this writing constraint as a sort of game of telephone, or (to put it more elegantly) material impressionism. The goal is to take the way something sounds like to you when read aloud, and then twist that impression into something new. A fun variation of this exercise is to record yourself reading something, run it through a crappy piece of transcription software, and then see what comes out. YouTube used to be an excellent resource for making experimental poetry using this method. It may still be, but I’ve not checked up on it for a while.

Example Poem

The example below is a quick little poem I made when reading the English alphabet forwards, then backward. It is also a rough approximation of what 2000s-era AI chatbots sounded like when they talked to each other.

ABC...CBAA bee: seedy effigy.Age, hide, shake rays,an elemental pea—cures. Tea you feedouble-true as eggs—wisely.See why exits wobble you.Be you to us our que? Peonies, in the mail: Cage-A.I ate Shea, Jeffie, and deceived—Be “Yay!”

In order to really get a good sense for how this constraint works, I encourage you to read this or your own poem out loud. You will know you’re getting it right when a person in the next room could have sworn you were saying something else altogether.

1. It was my nieces birthday and the cake my sister made that she wasn’t happy with turned out to be delicious. The whole motherhood thing has been great for her and I love to see her thrive. Yesterday I got to be both a proud aunt and a proud big sister and I’m all up for that all the time: I couldn’t be there yesterday but am very much looking forward to seeing them this week

2. I reached out to the #WritingComunity for advice on the challenge I want to complete next year and found them to be some of the most friendly, helpful and wise people on the internet.
I feel lucky to have been allowed in.

3. I made the first two of many little stockings I’m going to hang along the stair case. What I was particularly pleased with is that when I began hand sewing this year for the first time since my efforts at infant school I had no consistency in my stitches. This is the first project that when I went to turn it inside out I decided I actually preferred to be able to see the stitching. It’s so nice to see improvement in my skills.
