What one thing would you tell your older or younger creative self if you could time travel?</p><p>One is not enough:<br />- Write as often as possible.<br />- Yes your should read as much as possible. In future we have audiobooks, you will love them.<br />- Note every idea, even smallest one. Tomorrow you won't remember.<br />- You are good not shite. Don't listen to people who didn't even read a book.<br />- Make backups, write in cloud.<br />- Structure matters.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a></p>

How present is music in your work?</p><p>I listen to tons of music. It got my way to my writing too. But I don't just listen casually when I'm writing.</p><p>I have a playlist that can be named OST of my book. It has tracks that set up the mood or pacing for scenes, places and also themes of characters. <br />It helps with getting into that place fast like loading last writing session in the brain.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a></p>

LΙQUIDΛT0R :godot:<p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> April 6: Do you edit while writing, or go wild and fix it later?</p><p>Most of the time my text is very rough. I write fast just to pour out a scene from my head. Even informative level of dialogue and events: this should happen, she/he says that. And then, once a while, it happens. I spend few hours on super polished scene, with optimized sentences. Words rewritten few times to match mood perfectly.</p>

LΙQUIDΛT0R :godot:<p><a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/WritersCoffeeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WritersCoffeeClub</span></a> 29 Mar<br />How do you handle foreshadowing? How do you navigate building up to the ‘big reveal’?</p><p>I use foreshadowing to set up a mood. If the hero is going inside the cave and there are corpses it automatically lays a ground for horror things to happen. It builds up tension and expectations for a confrontation with the killer or a monster.<br />But it's never a big reveal.</p><p>One of the good tools to get the reader hooked. Chekhov's gun would be my favourite though.</p>
