The Writing Process in 140 Characters Described by WB Friends

The Writing Barn decided to challenge WB friends and members of the “Write. Submit. Support” group to describe the creative writing process in 140 characters or less.

Sounds difficult, right? Here are some of the well-thought responses we received.

Connect to self. Connect to world. Rinse. Repeat. Revise. Connection is what matters.

Dream. Imagine. Listen to the muse. Let your heart connect. Write.
Rewrite. Dance with your words. Rewrite again. Share with the world.

Erin Lee Golden, Write. Submit. Support Alum

Read a lot. Write a lot. Revise a lot. And believe a lot, mostly in yourself.
Your stories matter. Your truth matters. The world needs your words. 

Erin Lee Golden, Writer. Submit. Support Alum

 

Gogi Hale, Write. Submit. Support Alum

A seed, an idea, a character intrigues you. You spend months thinking about her, them, they in your world and the truth they dare to speak. Be brave! Plow on despite your fears. 

Gogi Hale, Writer. Submit. Support Alum

Nancy Miller Barton, Write. Submit. Support Alum

Entertain. Educate. Engage. Minimum of two.
