Retweeting Rosetta's post so it can be pinned on the official page as well. #turtlewriters #introthread teapaw.org/RosettaYorke/status/87…

Due to a family member's illness, I won't be posting my weekly #turtlewriters writing prompt for a while. Good luck with your writing everyone! 🙂🐢🍀✍

Firstly, immense apologies for missing last week, #turtlewriters. Now, for this week, should you let your characters make mistakes? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

Food can add to a story in many ways, #turtlewriters? How important is food to your story? What does it add? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

Does knowing your target audience help you figure out plot, #turtlewriters? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

Put two people together and conflict will naturally grow, #turtlewriters. But sometimes the stakes aren't quite high enough. How do you increase the stakes? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

Story ideas can come from just about anywhere, #turtlewriters. But some writers focus more on character, while others focus more on plot. So do you start with character or plot? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

Starting a new draft can be tough, #turtlewriters. Do you start at the beginning, middle, or end? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

What is your main character most proud of, #turtlewriters? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

Nothing reveals one's temperament quite like being tired or hungry, #turtlewriters. How does your character behave when tired or hungry? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames

How do you write grieving characters? @mlmoosauthor @RosettaYorke @AuthorMekaJames
