Exercise the writing muscle every day, even if it is only a letter, notes, a title list, a character sketch, a journal entry. Writers are like dancers, like athletes. Without that exercise, the muscles seize up. —Jane Yolen socialpolitan.blogspot.com #WritingCommunity #WritingCraft #Socialpolitan

The best transformation arcs let us feel the change coming before the character fully understands it. A new habit. A different reaction. A line they cross more easily than before. By the time the visible transformation arrives, part of us already knows. #WritingCraft #WritersOfBluesky
