I think we could all benefit from being a little bit more David Lynch.
David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!!
I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!
Thinking of chapter names is easily the most fun part of the novel writing process for me.
Well, I’ve done it. Both assignments completed and submitted. It has been a crazy 12 weeks, but the teams at #Emmerdale and #CoronationStreet have been so helpful in my research. I couldn’t have done it without them 🙏🏻 Looking forward to much needed break!
90k is amazing! Good luck with the editing! Should be the fun part 😃
The main thing is you’re writing! Not tracking anything is sometimes a good way to focus on the story. Where do you like to write online?
That’s amazing! My current personal challenge is the same as yours. I want to get a decent draft completed by the end of December and then go into editing in the new year. I’ve found it so hard to focus in the past that getting any words down is an achievement for me.
Well done to anyone in the #writingcommunity who completed writing challenges in November 🙋🏻♀️ What’s the word count looking like?
Oh lovely! I lived in Wensleydale for 13 yrs before coming to Whitby this year. I adore the Dales. Swaledale is gorgeous!
2 weeks left of my current assignment. I didn't think I could do it, but I've somehow managed to cut my film treatment from 5,000 words to the 1,500 word limit. Now I get to work on the fun part: pitch deck.
I’m reading a festive Kiley Dunbar book at the moment. I don’t usually read Christmas books so thought I’d try something new!

If you see this, then post a vampire! 🦇🖤🦇
That’s so great. Just shows that it’s good to experiment with different methods to see what works for you!
This is so helpful, thank you. Please feel free to add me. I'm here to connect!
That sounds like bliss to me ❤️. I love the sound of the rain.
I had to search recently how long it takes for a body to decompose and afterwards had a momentary panic about what that looks like from the outside. “It’s ok! I’m writing a book!”
That’s amazing! There’s nothing quite like that feeling when the words come so easily. If only every project was like that 🙈
Oh I love that!
One of my writing revelations this year is just how helpful outlining can be. I have been a proud pantser for years, but it turns out I work so much better with a plan. #writingcommunity
This is so helpful. Thank you!
Kudos for trying though!
Wow, prime location! When I lived in Leeds, the gallery was a regular haunt for me.
Yay! 🙈

That sounds absolutely dreadful but at the same time it is an inspired idea. What a brilliant way to force yourself to just sit and get those words on the page.
