Writing Rituals There is, reportedly, a clinically diagnosable condition known as hypergraphia. It is characterized by an intense urge to write or draw. People speculate that Brandon Sanderson, that prodigious producer of speculative fiction, has it; ditto Stephen King. Isaac Asimov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Vincent Van Gogh, and Sylvia Plath have also been named as possible candidates for this irregularity, also known as graphomania. I mention this condition only to report, sadly, that I do not have it. My list of brilliant, sure-to-succeed ideas for books far exceeds the time I put into writing them. I have no excuse for my lack of output other than that, at times, I just don’t wanna write. https://writerunboxed.com/2026/04/23/87260/ #CRAFT #Writinglife #rituals #writingrituals

I know a woman who just retired and does a lot of interesting crafts - ceramics, sowing, book binding and gardening - and she's tired of Meta. I think she would be an interesting addition to the craft community on the fediverse - and for all others who like to see images of craft. What platform (Mastodon, Pixelfed) and especially instances specifically would be an appropriate place for her to join? #Craft #Ceramics #BookBinding #Sowing #newonfedi

The #1 Killer Opener Mistake That Nearly All Screenwriters Make Killer Script Opener Mistakes There are lots of killer opener mistakes your spec screenplay needs to avoid. The beginning of your spec screenplay needs to do some serious heavy lifting for your story – not just for your characters, but the plot as well. This means screenwriters simply must do the following in their spec screenplays… Read More » The #1 Killer Opener Mistake That Nearly All Screenwriters Make The post The #1 Killer Opener Mistake That Nearly All Screenwriters Make appeared first on Bang2write. https://bang2write.com/2026/04/the-1-killer-opener-mistake-that-nearly-all-screenwriters-make.html #advice #audience #craft #education #internet

If you don’t have the resources to write and understand the code yourself, you don’t have the resources to maintain it either. Any monkey with a keyboard can write code. Writing code has never been hard. People were churning out crappy code en masse way before generative AI and LLMs. I know because I’ve seen it, I’ve had to work with it, and I no doubt wrote (and continue to write) my share of it. What’s never been easy, and what remains difficult, is figuring out the right problem to solve, solving it elegantly, and doing so in a way that’s maintainable and sustainable given your means. Code is not an artefact, code is a machine. Code is either a living thing or it is dead and decaying. You don’t just write code and you’re done. It’s a perpetual first draft that you constantly iterate on, and, depending on what it does and how much of that has to do with meeting the evolving needs of the people it serves, it may never be done. With occasional exceptions (perhaps? maybe?) for well-defined and narrowly-scoped tools, done code is dead code. So much of what we call “writing” code is actually changing, iterating on, investigating issues with, fixing, and improving code. And to do that you must not only understand the problem you’re solving but also how you’re solving it (or how you thought you were solving it) through the code you’ve already written and the code you still have to write. So it should come as no surprise that one of the hardest things in development is understanding someone else’s code, let alone fixing it when something doesn’t work as it should. Because it’s not about knowing this programming language or that (learning a programming language is the easiest part of coding), or this framework or that, or even knowing this design pattern or that (although all of these are important prerequisites for comprehension) but understanding what was going on in someone else’s head when they wrote the code the way they wrote it to solve a particular problem. It frankly boggles my mind that some people are advocating for automating the easy part (writing code) by exponentially scaling the difficult part (understanding how exactly someone else – in this case, a junior dev who knows all the hows of things but none of the whys – decided to solve the problem). It is, to borrow a technical term, ass-backwards. They might as well call vibe coding duct-tape-driven development or technical debt as a service. 🤷‍♂️ #AI #LLMs #vibeCoding #softwareDevelopment #design #craft

Reading as an Agent Two very recent WU posts ( HERE and HERE ) got me thinking about how I read. In one mode, I read manuscripts with an agent’s eyes. In another mode, I read novels (published or pre-) as a craft analyst and teacher. In still a different mode, I read as a fiction writer. Once in a while, I read for enjoyment. It’s difficult to do. The other modes don’t like to shut up. And not all novels are so absorbing that my inner analyst forgets to analyze. As agent, you might imagine that I am looking for work that matches the market’s needs. As craft analyst and teacher, you might think that I am looking for illustrative examples. As fiction writer, you might expect that that I read in awe, envy, or judgment. In those presumptions, you would be wrong. https://writerunboxed.com/2026/03/04/reading-as-an-agent/ #CRAFT #adviceforwriters #characters #DonaldMaass #inspiration

Who Are You? Part Two Do you remember the scene in that classic film What about Bob? in which Bob arranges to have himself tied to the mast of a sailboat? He wants to be included in his friends’ activities despite his fears, and as the boat goes forward he yells with pride, “I’m sailing! I’m a sailor! I sail!” We chuckle, but what exactly makes this scene so funny? I think it’s the absurd juxtaposition of an identity claim with evidence that it’s not true. I love this scene because those statements represent three overlapping but not identical realities. To get grammar-nerdy about it: The present participle “I’m sailing” implies that this occurrence is happening right now, but might not happen regularly. I’m not swimming or walking. I’m sailing. https://writerunboxed.com/2026/02/26/who-are-you-part-two/ #CRAFT #REALWORLD #character #identity

Flog a Pro: Would You Turn the First Page of this Bestseller? Email readers, heads up! For the full effect, pause after the excerpt and decide: Would you turn the page? Vote and then scroll for the reveal! Trained by reading hundreds of submissions, editors and agents often make their read/not-read decision on the first page . In a customarily formatted book manuscript with chapters starting about 1/3 of the way down the page (double-spaced, 1-inch margins, 12-point type), there are 16 or 17 lines on the first page. Here’s the question: Would you pay good money to read the rest of the chapter? With 50 chapters in a book that costs $15, each chapter would be “worth” 30 cents. https://writerunboxed.com/2026/02/19/flog-a-pro-would-you-turn-the-first-page-of-this-bestseller-43/ #BookTalk #CRAFT #FlogaPro

3 Ways to Write Effective Backstory Career Authors In fiction, writing effective backstory is a tricky balance. Too much too fast, and you’ve committed the dreaded “info dump” that risks losing your reader’s attention for good.
