Charlie Stross<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 29, Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.I don't remember any. Caveat: I've been writing fiction for more than 50 years and doing so as my day job for 25 years: I'm still learning, but it's mostly in tiny increments at this point—and for the past 2-3 decades.

Lydia Vvinters<a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 29, Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.My "I'll publish when I'm dead" policy was liberating to discover. I might still finish and publish one day, but for now, I get to work on the entire series as a whole, which is fascinating and gives my chaos enough space to flourish. <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a>

Howard Aiken<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writerscoffeeclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerscoffeeclub</a> 29/5:Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.I doubt that's going to happen. I find new (and old) writers that I admire, and I follow some writing courses, but any changes in my writing that follow are slow and incremental.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/histfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histfic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a>

Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.I have lots of epiphanies. But don't remember them. Oh: Shishi is Lauren Bacall. Ume is: Paul Henreid Tomo: Is Bogart as Sam Spade Kan-chan is Claude Raines.Helps me picture Tomo a bit better.<a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMWCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMWCC</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/NMPrompts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NMPrompts</a> <a href="https://sakurajima.moe/tags/KonbiniIdol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KonbiniIdol</a>

Elyse M Grasso<a href="https://historians.social/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 29. Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.I don't think I go in for epiphanies, much as I have a writing process that is recursive and evolutionary rather than using drafts.

Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.I wrote my first story as a dare. Then thought how foolish & naive I was by sending it to a publisher.The epiphany? The MS was accepted with that first submission attempt, making me realise 'wow I can actually write saleable novels'.

ig 🏳️‍🌈<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/writerscoffeeclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerscoffeeclub</a> 29. Tell us about an epiphany that changed your writing.reading older books showed me how limited modern writing has become, and it gave me permission to ignore writing 'rules' that are broken routinely by literary masterpieces. (see: 'head hopping' that is routinely practised by writers like Virginia Woolf and Toni Morrison.) who came up with these rules? what value are they if the best writers don't even follow them?

Kristina W Kelly<a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> Day 27: What is a ‘load-bearing’ part of your non-writerly life that makes writing possible for you?A day job. Otherwise I would not have a house, car, clothes, food, and stuff for my children. It steals hours away from creativity but it’s a necessary beast when pirates steal your books and meta uses them to train their AI without compensating you.

Charlie Stross<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 28th May 2025. Have you ever done a writing mentorship? What was your takeaway?Nope, never done it—from either end (mentor or mentee). I suspect I'd be a terrible teacher.

rae mariz<a href="https://spore.social/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> Has the prompt list for June been posted anywhere yet? And could anyone point me to the May list even though we're nearing the end of the month? The questions that I've seen for the last few days have been so interesting, I feel like I missed out.Hope to join you all again soon! I hate being finite!

Elyse M Grasso<a href="https://historians.social/tags/writerscoffeeclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerscoffeeclub</a> 28 Have you ever done a writing mentorship? What was your takeaway? No.

SuzyShearer<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/writerscoffeeclub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerscoffeeclub</a> 28 May. Have you ever done a writing mentorship? What was your takeaway? (long - sorry...lol)Way before Covid I very, very reluctantly accepted being a mentor to 8 aspiring authors for 3 months via Zoom. It was stressful (not only because I'm ASD & freak out around people) but now I'm happy I did it.My takeaway was be honest with them. Explain the pitfalls. Discuss grammar, head-hopping, etc. Appreciate their efforts and encourage them without putting them down.Three had done previous classes with mentors and given unrealistic expectations of how successful they'd become as writers. How much money they’d make, how easy it was to get traditionally published, etc. One was even told to submit their one work to a publisher.He gave it to me to read. It was filled with so many errors - grammar, so much head-hopping, spelling, impossible movements of characters (for example in one scene the heroes’ feet were in one place facing north while they were touching something approx. south & 4 metres away). The list went on and on.But the actual story was interesting and together we fixed things, tightened it up, and used it as a learning aid for the other seven.I did hear a few years back he submitted it to several places but, although he was given encouraging feedback, it wasn’t taken up.

Charlie Stross<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writersCoffeeClub</a> Also my eyesight is bad enough right now that I initially misread this as a question about the toad-bearing part of my non-writerly life. Ribbit.

Charlie Stross<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writersCoffeeClub</a> 5/27: What is a load-bearing part of your non-writerly life that makes it possible for you to write?I'm not sure I have a non-writerly life!

Necessary for well-being.It's also super helpful to hang out with friends playing board games or do movie nights or visiting cool places every few weeks both for human connection and so that I actually leave the house, which I otherwise really struggle with.So...people. My people are load-bearing.

Elyse M Grasso<a href="https://historians.social/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WritersCoffeeClub</a> 27. What is a ‘load-bearing’ part of your non-writerly life that makes writing possible for you?I have found over the years that I have the bandwidth for writing plus one job. Now that I am retired from my day job and I have replaced my house that was destroyed by the Marshall Wildfire, publishing can be the job.

Some houses sing songs and some want revenge.

What is a ‘load-bearing’ part of your non-writerly life that makes writing possible for you?A: I’m a professional copywriter. This both pays the bills and perversely motivates my writing. Before a day of writin’ what someone else tells me to, I can take time to write what I want to.
