R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 07/07/2025Loving all your answers honestly 🥰 And very interested that it seems to be a far more nebulous concept than I was expecting! (I was thinking people would be telling me: “has to be 70,000 words before they kiss to count,” “love confession over halfway through- at absolute minimum,” etc. 😂) 000
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 07/07/2025Question: What qualifies as a slow burn? 🤔 Does it have to pass a certain amount of words? Chapters? Books? And then does it stop at the first kiss? First time sleeping together? First love confession? When they officially become a couple? Opinions please!! #writingq #writesky #writingcommunity 1100
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 03/07/2025So, uhh… other than two chapters I did a couple of days ago, I may have just plotted my entire sequel in a single evening 🤯 Not sure how it happened, but I’m pretty sure I must have entered a fugue state 😂media.tenor.comkermit the frog is using a typewriter in a messy room .ALT: kermit the frog is using a typewriter in a messy room . 010
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 23/06/2025So I’m working on beta stuff currently, and have prepared an application form, post-reading questionnaire & TW list. What am I missing? Is there something I’ve forgotten? Or questions I need to make sure I include in the forms? Triggers I’ve maybe overlooked? Gimme the deets!! 000
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 01/06/2025Happy Pride!! Want to share/participate in some fun, queer book stuff this month. Anyone got any prompts, snippet shares, etc, they’re taking part in? #writingcommunity #writesky 020

R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Oh no. We’ve reached that stage of my mum asking if I want her to read my book. Thought over certain scenes and may have said no a bit too fast 😂 #writingcommunity #writesky #snippet 030
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 07/05/2025What would be your best, most vital advice when it comes to beta readers? I’m almost at the point of needing them and have never had them/been one myself, so need to know anything and everything!! #writingcommunity #writingq #writesky #booksky 562

R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Writing buds: what’s the most interesting thing you’ve discovered during edits? A funny mistake, a paragraph you’ve no recollection of writing, etc. Mine is finding what I think may be the perfect tagline already written in the prose 😁 #writingq #WritingCommunity #amediting #writesky #booksky 240

R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Had to share something romantic for Valentine’s, so here you go! (There was way too much to choose from and it was so hard to find a section short enough to fit 😫) #WritingCommunity #amwriting #ValentinesDay #snippet #writesky 010
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 12/02/2025I want to share some sort of romance snippet for Valentine’s (I am writing a romance after all) but I’ve no idea what to share. Any ideas guys? #writingcommunity #valentines #amwriting #romance #snippet #writingq 131
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Editing is certainly interesting. Every chapter’s notes gets longer and longer - gonna need a whole notebook by the end 😂 #writingcommunity #editing #amediting #wip 110

R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 22/01/2025After 6 months of writing, I have a completed 1st draft 😭 I’ve never managed it before, so to be done in half a year, in the middle of huge upheaval & heartache, is insane to me. I can’t tell you how proud of myself I am! Now: Editing😬 #WritingCommunity #firstdraft #amwriting #writesky 150
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 20/01/2025It really depends on the people she’s surrounded by/environment she’s in. With her family she shrinks away and freezes, but with the new family she makes they make her feel safe and confident, so she’s more likely to stand up for herself or take action. #writingcommunity #writingq #amwriting #wip 120
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Yay! An excuse to share the moodboards of my sweeties! ✨ Far too in love with fictional people I myself created 😂 What about anyone else’s characters? #writingcommunity #booksky #writesky #amwriting #moodboards 051
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Can you frame every single piece of even slightly positive feedback you receive about your work? Or perhaps - should you? 😂 (I swear I just want to print out every comment and stick it to a huge notice board!) #WritingCommunity #amwriting #WIP #feedback 000
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Fellow writers! Where does the climax of your novel take place? Mine happens inside an island cave. Vibes of Isla de Muerta, but imagine no gold, pirates or moonlight, and a lot more candles! #writingq #writersq #WritingCommunity #amwriting 140

R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 08/11/2024So many new followers! Hi everyone 👋😁 Here’s a #writingq for all of you: Is there a theme/plot point that always seems to come up in your stories? Fairly relevant given the current climate, but mine always seem to feature women killing their abusers 🤷🏻♀️😂 #writingcommunity #amwriting #wip 5143
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 27/10/2024It’s #snippetsunday and I want to see some cool sneak peeks of what you’ve been working on lately! Here’s mine, from a fun, slightly weird, chapter I just finished 😁 #writingcommunity #amwriting #writingq 030
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 23/10/2024#writingcommunity #writingq Is your main character fundamentally a good person? I’m biased, but mine is the sweetest. All the negativity she’s experienced in her life has only made her kind 🥰 030
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 19/10/2024In pictures or gifs, where do your main characters meet? Mine meet in a dark, dusty crypt 😂 #writingq #writingcommunity 080
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 18/10/2024Probably crime? Though I’m sure I could find some way to make it a bit more fantastical - like a werewolf is the murderer or something 😂 000
R D Scott-Taggart @rdscott-taggart.bsky.social · 18/10/2024Thought it’d be a good idea to share a vibey moodboard of my #wip over here as my first real post 🥰🖤 #writingcommunity #workinprogress #romance #fantasy #vampire 091
