matt @matt@writing.exchange

Howdy! I'm Kaylene. I'm new to Mastadon--figuring it out slowly. I have one story at the edit stage, another I am still writing. I use Ulysses as my writing app. I like to hear from other writers. It is nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing the same issues. 😊

#newhere #introduction #writer

Lots of new active people on the instance, we see you. I don’t want to be the weird guy at the hostel that goes around welcoming everyone individually so I’ll just say here — welcome to wr.ex!

I’m not your host nor a mod (both are @matt). Nor am I even a write.as user, which is not required. (I use Textpattern.) But I have been a resident here a while now and can say Matt runs a decent and fair instance, so far. ;)

#introductions

Hello! I'm Liz (she/her, aro/ace). I'm new to Mastodon, and to posting about myself on social media in general. I'm hoping to use this to hold myself accountable for actually writing things. Current projects include #fanfic rewriting Supernatural and Detroit: Become Human and an original project based on the myth of Orpheus that needs some serious outlining.

Nice to meet you!

#introduction

I don't write as much as I would like. But I do write. And I have two cats.

Hi !

I like writing, reading, taking care of my plants and learning things. My pronouns are she/they and I'm French. I'm a feminist and anti-capitalist leftist, and I might sometimes post some political stuff around here, but most of the times, my posts should just concern writing in general.

I'd be happy to exchange with anybody !

#Introductions

F.T. Tern here (just Tern is fine) - author of a couple of SF books available through Kindle Unlimited or for purchase on Amazon, plus various non-fiction works. Frustrated with Twitter and the like and checking this out! #introductions

#Introductions

Howdy! I'm a wee little indie author and copywriter and whatever-for-money-or-even-not-money-no-big-deal writer.

Wanted to try a smaller community and check out this whole experience.

Excited to meet everyone!

Thought I'd try this out...

Hey all, I'm a fanfic writer and human being-in-training. I like dandelions, matryoshka dolls and the band NICO Touches the Walls. I have a lot of action figures that I place in compromising positions, and tattoos of my OTPs. I may never truly grow up, but I try to be a better person each day. #introductions

Greetings!

I cannot stop writing. Unfortunately, I suck at all the popular forms of writing. (Yes. I have tried until my eyes bled.) So, I am left with what I do.

If I was in construction, I would be a framer. And when the frame of the house was done I would lose interest and walk away. Until I remembered a little thing I could change to make it better. Then I would come back without permission and rip the walls apart in order to make the necessary changes.
#Introduction

#introductions

I write novels (mostly speculative fiction).

I write non-fiction books about writing novels.

I read all genres and watch all genres.

I take pretty photos of board games for publishers.

I put out an annual calendar of board game photos.

I ❤️ coffee.

I ❤️ poop jokes.

My partner's name is Lisa, and we LOVE our pets because they are our furbabies!

Hello! I’m C R E Mullins. I’m an SF writer currently working on my second novel, “THE MALCONTENTS OF MARS”. It’s a pleasure to be here. #introduction

#introduction

Like others, I moved here from mastodon.social to get a smaller more writing orientated community and a server that responds quicker than a sloth on diazepam.

I've been a struggling writer for many years, hoping now to actually finish some works and get them out there while there are still some readers left in the world.

A quick #introduction while I figure out what I’m doing here. I write near-future and vaguely-historical sci-fi, take photos (mostly moody black-and-white flowers lately, for some reason), and drink far too much coffee. (Which one takes priority depends entirely on how much I’m trying to avoid the other two.)

#introductions

Hello! I write novels (I've only queried one, but I'm getting close to a second), I read novels (DM me for goodreads info!), y estudio español; I'm also a runner, though in 2018 I've mostly been walking.

I joined the writing.exchange instance because I was interested in joining a smaller community and also for the social motivation that comes from being in contact with other writers (which is currently lacking in my life >.>)

So... hello! Nice to meet ya.

I signed up for Mastodon about a year ago but never really made any use of it, so I guess I'll introduce myself.

My name's Michael, and I'm a full time novelist/podcast producer/game designer working out of Chicago. I like good #coffee and far left politics. I'm a decent writer but terrible when it comes to marketing.

I don't post about my work much. Maybe I should.

What do
they mean?
The 'like',
the 'star',
the 'boost',
the 'retweet without comment'?
What does
the bare
social minimum
mean?
You cannot ride it.
You cannot harness it.
It can never be a "thou".
It is
a
good flat stone
that,
when thrown,
only
skips once
across
the
blankness.
Unconnected
to future ripples.
Done.

"The biggest assumption that marketers are making is that consumers are “in love” with the brands, that consumers want to “have relationships” with brands. Consumers don’t care that much about brands. Consumers have lives of their own to worry about." http://readcontentmag.com/content/are-you-deluded
