Chapter 21 Con retweeted
"You're allowed to push back on your editor... It's your book" - @dancingofpens' discussion of self-advocacy in publishing is excellent #Ch1Con
For any remote attendees: We mixed up the time zone and thought the Ask Anything panel was an hour earlier than it was. It will be an hour from now. Right now, we're doing an attendee read-aloud in the Zoom call. If you're an attendee and you want the link, let us know! #Ch1Con
"In poetry, there's nowhere to hide. There's just your words, your lines, the white space" - good point from @halcyonpen on how poetry can help inform your ability with prose editing
Two different approaches to writing for prompts from @CThompsWrites and from @halcyonpen: brainstorming and taking ideas from your life and passions, or procrastinating until an idea arrives to you. Guess which one Ch21Con director @ArielKalati tends to go for #Ch1Con
Interesting to hear about the academic side of creative writing in this panel with @CThompsWrites and @halcyonpen! #Ch1Con
Advice from @CThompsWrites : "Be discerning about whose advice you take to heart, and whose advice you take on with you to revision" #Ch1Con
"You can take something you like a lot, change it, and then make your own thing"- @dancingofpens' advice on "stealing" from media you like #Ch1Con
"You're allowed to push back on your editor... It's your book" - @dancingofpens' discussion of self-advocacy in publishing is excellent #Ch1Con
Discussing the importance of reaching out and asking questions in the publishing industry, as long as you're respectful of people's boundaries. Great part of @dancingofpens' keynote! #Ch1Con
"Think about why you first started writing... Hold that dear, and let that guide you" -excellent advice from @dancingofpens #Ch1Con
SO real that young writers tend to think they need to be published, or published at a certain age, to be valid. @dancingofpens is bringing up some very relatable feelings #Ch1Con
