Share a tool of your trade.<br/><br/>A thesaurus. One of the most important tools for me. Otherwise all my words would be not very good sounding. 2026-01-04T13:04:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9mh8q3p708gx5vkltwzhw2axp6yxauzng0et83u6k5w3h3msc7yqzyr0z8w4yf7e6h3ygtyen9ch2d0xzenpspt3ptgjc82cqdpv7cxae7cfg39n #WordWeavers Dec 3. What’s the best thing about the world of your story?<br/><br/>There&#39;s a pretty neat tree, I think. 2025-12-03T11:17:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfvahvlyu3wdsz70yt0m42juw4zc4n44ghtxemgfuyewtdxpem83czyr0z8w4yf7e6h3ygtyen9ch2d0xzenpspt3ptgjc82cqdpv7cxae7c8hhgp #ScribesAndMakers Nov 23. What&#39;s the lowest number of readers/viewers/users of your creative work that you would consider cause for celebration?<br/><br/>A single reader is definitely worth a celebration. I write for myself and because I enjoy it but I also want to share my stories with others. More readers would call for a bigger celebration though. 2025-11-23T11:28:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsplqg6k8n8rqgvs6wywzl6slqt6qwaazxem257eymtagasxwl789czyr0z8w4yf7e6h3ygtyen9ch2d0xzenpspt3ptgjc82cqdpv7cxae7qm4akn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs064k6mg363wg8n9lfcj9kj8w644005ypufthm3pkua2z2muujh2gnzt45c'>nevent1q…t45c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve tried but I really struggle with it. Some of it is the writing and some of it is the story construction.

What was the hardest writerly lesson for you to learn? Or unlearn?<br/><br/>To write concisely and clearly. It sounds so simple but I kept mucking it up with too many words. I think I&#39;m getting better, especially in the editing process, but even now I still find convoluted sentences and paragraphs. 2025-09-16T10:34:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw0yfvrdraz9a9ae5xg7zad7t2h22q0v6f97m6q4pc5lnjghew2vgzyr0z8w4yf7e6h3ygtyen9ch2d0xzenpspt3ptgjc82cqdpv7cxae7nhwm9c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs90cac4fny7eqtekhepvyj5crxy46qm4mumw9vv8vdx9dz3us86dc9luxr0'>nevent1q…uxr0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>this one<br/> <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/indieauthors/media_attachments/files/115/026/803/738/500/084/original/cc1d32c9f8913c67.png"> <br/> 2025-08-14T11:10:48Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspr4v606f508vhkcmcwzcadnc6jxc46zv7mgj0vu7wjtf9gykndgszyr0z8w4yf7e6h3ygtyen9ch2d0xzenpspt3ptgjc82cqdpv7cxae7f2r8dx #ScribesAndMakers Aug 14. What&#39;s the funniest needlework you&#39;ve ever made or seen?

What other hashtags inspire you on Mastodon or similar?<br/><br/>There are the writing and book-related ones like # wordweavers # pennedpossibilites # Bookstodon # AmWriting ...etc.<br/><br/>But I also love # bloomscrollling and # mosstodon and # boardgames and # wildlife. They don&#39;t always inspire me but they often do. 2024-05-31T14:02:28Z
