Apparently character-wanders-around-a-strange-desolate-landscape-whilst-contemplating-life is just “the genre” I want to write right now #writing

The Reverse Edit

Or my strange quirk of editing from the last scene to the first

I wanted to write my current WIP because it’s a book I wanted to read but couldn’t find. Now that I’m editing it it’s been fun to actually read this book that I wanted to exist. #Writing is so fun!

My #editing process for longform fiction: 1. Read & markup scenes from end to start 2. Markup & small revisions from start to end 3. Go through markups & revise / major rewrites if necessary 4. Grammar & spell check Idk if it’s the best method but it works for me so I thought I’d share! #writing

Random thought: Writing a web serial looks like it would be a lot of fun. Idk if I’ll ever actually write one but they do seem fun! #writing

I write mostly literary inspired weird fiction. The things that interest me most as a writer aren’t high stakes missions, or mysteries to be solved, but how an event that’s seemingly impossible affects the characters internal life “Weird things happen; people deal with it” Is my writing philosophy

Encourage yourself. Encourage others. Try to stay on the positive side as there is simply too much toxic negativity surrounding everyone right now. Support your writing. Support the writing of other writers. This isn't a choice of 'politics' but a choice of people. #writingcommunity #booksky

Idk if the book I’m editing is any good, but it’s exactly the kind of book I want to read and I’m happy to have written it. That’s all that matters really. #writing #editing #writerschat

Getting myself to sit down and write a 250 word blogpost is so much harder than sitting down to write a 1000 word narrative scene. Brains are weird… #writing

Just finished the first round of edits & markups for my WIP and it’s looking like I’m going to have to rewrite at least the first 15k words 😅 #writing #editing

I love writing but I have the hardest time writing about writing. Been trying to do a Substack about writing on and off again for months 😅 #writing #substack

I like to edit my stories in reverse when doing my 1st round revisions. I find that it helps me identify dropped plot lines and inconsistencies better. I usually pants my stories in the first half before outlining the second half, so this method helps a lot with fusing those two approaches. #writing

Fellow authors, without any context, what is the 1st line of your current WIP? — “We arrived on the beach, like all past expeditions here, through a forgotten shipwreck.” — #writing #writingcommunity #WIP

As I’m editing my book I’m honestly happy with how much I like it. I was afraid that I wouldn’t like the first draft but I’m pleasantly surprised. Although this could also be a bad thing since I might still be too close to the story to see the faults. 😅 #writing #editing #writingcommunity

One of the best feeling while editing you own work is reading a scene, or a paragraph, or even a sentence and thinking “wow, I can’t believe I wrote that!” (Positive) #writing #authors #editing

#Writers: What’s one uncommon or unconventional editing & revision technique you use that you don’t think others do? For me I like to read my scenes in reverse order (end to beginning) on my first pass, and then I read it again from beginning to end. #writing #writingcommunity

Expedition 33 is so good, deserves all the praise it’s received. Personally, it was one of the most important games I’ve ever played.

The daily grind of writing is really where it's all at. It can be tedious, but it is so worth it in the end and you have a finished book. Whether you're an author who enjoys writing or an author who enjoys having written, the daily grind is where everything lies. #writing

I want to write a book where the tension is cranked up so much that it feels like the book itself is about to rip itself apart under all of it. #writing

I'm 120k words into my WIP, I have around 40k to 60k words left, it seems like a lot to go but I can see the end in sight. Just gotta keep writing away! 👨‍💻 #writing

One of my more embarrassing aspects of being a writer is that I'm terrible at capturing ideas. Like I can never find a system that just works with my brain. 😅 #writing

It's been quite a challenge #writing an MC who refuses to introspect, grow & take direct action. I set out on this project with that goal in mind, but it has made writing scenes where she interacts with others challenging. A departure from my usual stories where my MCs like to talk and take action.

I don't know why my brain feel so apprehensive about writing short stories. Like it's completely fine with writing novels (as my 115k words & counting project shows), but short stories - ironically - intimidate me. Any other writers out there like this? #writing #writingcommunity

Being well-read in your exact publishing genre/subgenre is very important. This reading informs you what your 'best' readers are reading now and will have read before they discover your novel. Readers have expectations groomed by the books they read. #writingcommunity #booksky #comparables #reading

When #writing you might find that the story is going in a direction you didn't intend. If it's interesting to you, then do not fret, keep on going and see where it ends up. If it isn't, or if it contradicts your themes or characters, do not feel married to it, but feel free to abandon that direction

Been working through my first draft since spring. For some reason this project just keeps growing and growing, seems inescapable (in a good way) 😅

Last week I completed 90 consecutive days of writing. Decided to take the rest of the week off after hitting that milestone. Let me tell you, not writing after writing for so long felt like something was missing from my life. Today I resumed my day writing practice and I feel much more whole 😌

This week’s flavor of writer’s block: I have a pretty solid idea of the internal journey that lies ahead for my MC, even a decent idea of the external journey, but I’m not entirely clear on what “set pieces” it should play out on. As a writer who likes visuals this is very important to me. #writing

I went to an indie wrestling show. The crowd was sizable but not huge, yet that didn’t stop the performers from giving it their all. From the set to selling the fights, the whole thing was an inspiring passion project. Always create for yourself first no matter the size of the audience. #writing

About 110k words into my story, way more than halfway through but I still have many tens of thousands of words left. Feeling some story fatigue set in. But I know that the only way this first draft is ever going to be finished is only if I keep on pushing. And I shall. #writing

Short story #writers: where do you publish your stories? Do you submit to publications? Post on your own blog? Or maybe a place like Reddit or Substack? Personally I usually just post my stuff to Reddit. It’s the platform I understand the most & I am not patient enough for the publication route 😅

I got a positive comment from a reader this morning on a serial I’ve been posting that I didn’t know anyone was reading & it has made my day. If you enjoy somebody’s art & if you have the means & time tell the artist, tell them. One simple comment can change someone’s day for the better. #writing

I did not expect one of the hardest scenes for me to write in my WIP to be a flashback explaining how my chronically depressed, antisocial & cynical MC met her husband (who’s the opposite of her). Maybe I should read more romance to know how to write these scenes better 😆 #writing

I grew up reading so much manga that my natural instinct is to read every comic book from right to left, including western comics.

Just hammering out & submitting a short story to Reddit all within an hour or two is honestly one of my favorite underrated #writing exercises. It forces you to “yes-and” yourself, commit to ideas without 2nd thought, & the minimal editing helps with being okay with releasing imperfect stories. 📚🔨🧑‍💻

Jonathan K. Webb… is editing 👨‍💻 @jonathankwebb.com · 17/10/2025

As a writer, the hardest thing I find to write are the set up scenes. The ones where characters make decisions that will impact the rest of the trajectory of the story. Even if I outline I still struggle with these scene because I keep on wondering if it’s the best way to do the set up. #writing

One of my favorite under-appreciated styles of #writing are “vibe stories”, stories that evoke a certain feeling without having to strictly deliver on plot. Usually done through setting / atmosphere, & characterization. The plot is there but it’s usually in the background. Stories like ambient music

Yesterday I completed one of my favorite self imposed #writing challenges I’ve ever done. It consisted of 75 days of: - 1.5 hrs of creative work each day (1/2 must be toward my WIP, the other 1/2 can be whatever) - Reading a few pages from craft book each day - Reading fiction for 30 min / day 1/7

This weekend I hit 100k words making this officially the biggest book I’ve ever worked on, and there’s still plenty more to go! Estimated 40k to 80k words left, which seems daunting but I’ve already written more than half the book, so I know it’s doable! #writing
