Are there any feeds, blogs or forums or sites on writing with an accent that any of you would recommend? Specifically, Scottish or Irish accents? With things like, calling a wrench a spanner or changing can't to cannae, or slang terms, phrases, swear words and other insults.
Thanks!
On the off chance that my long lost friend Always Humble Poet PNG- 📓 Author Icon stops by, I'm tagging him about your request. He sometimes uses words like cannae -- when we're chatting *Wink* so he might be able to help you out or point you in some useful direction. *RollEyes* I haven't heard from him in a few weeks, so he's due for a check-in *Bigsmile*
Hello! and Ugh! I totally need some help and/or advice. Since my teen years, I won't get into just how long ago that was, I've started and stopped writing so many books. I get frustrated, I get writers block, I procrastinate, or I just think my writing is no damn good. And now I've started another story and I haven't even gotten past chapter 1 and already I'm tweaking things, rearranging things, deleting things. . . I just can't seem to stop myself and it is making me crazy!! How do I stop this insanity before I scrap yet another book? Is anyone willing to take a peek at it, what very little there is, and tell me if it is no damn good?
Oh, 3 other things:

1. Welcome to WdC *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

2. Everyone thinks they're terrible, it doesn't mean they are. It's called imposter syndrome.

3. If you think your first draft should be shredded and incinerated, you're probably doing something right.

4. If you keep editing while you write the first draft, you'll struggle to get very far. Sometimes, you need to let things be and just move on. Editing is great - after the fact.

5. Apparently, I can't count. *Laugh*
Hey, hey, I brought my friends with me, and both ladies had lots of great advice.

You can do NaNo here on WdC or nationally. Or both. I told you we had you covered!

And Jayne #mathishard. *Laugh*
Hmm...ladies? This one don't know no ladies. *Rolleyes* *Rolling*

(And hey, I got to five on Jayne Author Icon's list and didn't know what the problem was! *Laugh*)
