"You shouldn't just #read #literature. You should read life. Read #movies, and #art, and people. Read everything around you, very critically. Then build your method out of that process..." bit.ly/3CBZz6z #amwriting #writerslife
I've decided to go back to writing #fiction. My first step? Reinstall Twitter, of course! The #WritingCommunity is so supportive, it gives me boosts of motivation.
the three writer moods 1) i don't wanna write 2) i must write all my ideas right now, at once, before i implode 3) i want to write but i will also complain about it the whole time
Do I have a headache because of stupid-loud Tinnitus, or do I have #tinnitus because of the headache?...
They say writers don't get enough exercise when we clearly do gymnastics [backflips over characters being problems] and parkour [leaps over plot holes] oh and cardio [sprints from edits] and we also go swimming [cries over negative feedback]. So we're fine thanks.
Uff, I'm not the only one.
If I’ve learned anything from this pandemic, it’s that I always walk down the wrong aisle at the grocery store.
i decided that today. is bring your human to work day. we stared out the window for hours. and they helped me spot the cars. it was magical
Can't wait to change my address to "outside my comfort zone"
If you don’t mean it, don’t fucking say it
Living with toddlers is like being stuck in an episode of Scooby-Doo, with all the running between rooms and slamming of doors.
I still enjoy twitter because: 1. I RT and like who I want 2. I don't give a shit 3. I have a life outside of twitter

Happy Saturday everyone. So what’s the plan today? Will you spend time writing or take a break? My manuscript is at a critical point so it will definitely get some attention after it got the better of me last night. Good luck in whatever you’re doing! #WritingCommunity #amwriting
Just caught myself smiling all alone like a happy fucking psychopath.
I collect books. Tons of them. I read each one of them & handwrite a “review” on the inside covers for my loved ones to find some day when I’m gone. A way for them to find me in a place they know I’ve been.
A rejection of you or your creative work is not a failure. It means you are putting yourself out there and authenticity always pays off in the end #writingcommunity #writerslift #amquerying #agents
I'm not published, I'm digging through the query trenches, I struggle with confidence, but you guys I just got my first "I stayed up until midnight reading chapters 48 to the end because I couldn’t put it down." and I think I can die happy now. #amquerying #writingcommunity
Isn’t it crazy that when your wife hugs you for no reason, your brain screams “I don’t know what it is but I DIDN’T DO IT”
You learn a lot about someone when you share a plate of french fries together.
just explained to my partner that pumpkin spice is not pumpkin flavor but the spice mix that goes into pumpkin pie; an autumnal mélange; white people masala
This is some unspoken advice that I love to see spoken. Sometimes you SHOULD quit. There are a lot of things you can do with your life and quitting the things that aren't working is hella important.
So if you need to quit? Quit. Quit for now. Quit forever. Quit like you’re quitting forever but come back later. Don’t let your dream become a nightmare. Take care of yourself first and foremost. Because this ass backwards world ain’t gonna do it for you 💙

This 100%. Labels should help YOU understand your own experiences and explain yourself to YOU, not to anyone else. They CAN help others know more about you, but they don’t get to police or define their labels for YOU. Use the labels that feel right for you.
if ever i use a label, it is because that is the term—selected from the few available, established terms—that most accurately describes a complex set of experiences. i want more queer people to understand that labels do not exist to completely or neatly encompass who we are.
The best strategy for managing ADHD: Learn a bunch of little strategies (that may only work once or twice) & just continually cycle through them without feeling bad about needing novelty to find motivation. — What are your favorite little strategies that worked at least once?
Tallulah Bankhead (1902–68) claimed to have had over 5,000 lovers. At a society wedding, while the bride and groom were walking down the aisle, Tallulah remarked loudly: ‘I’ve had both of them, dahling, and neither of them is any good.’
BEFORE WRITING: I have the greatest idea! I'm going to be a millionaire when this is done! WHILE WRITING: I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'm doing something! With magic! AFTER WRITING: By far my BEST WORK ever! It's perfect WHILE EDITING: Oh no no no no, this is not good
I queried my first book when I was 15 and the preferable contact method was by envelope… I can happily say that after 15 YEARS… I got my FIRST MANUSCRIPT REQUEST This might sound sarcastic but it’s literally not. Do not be like me. Maybe give up sooner but also, maybe don’t 😌
A weed, or a portal to another dimension?
@RABlack12 Certainly. Many creative people go in deep sometimes and know better than to disrupt it. Writing can sometimes be like recording a daydream. Designing can sometimes be like dancing in space. When either circuit is firing hot do not get in its way!
Although rejections are hard, I want to give a shout out to all the literary agents who take the time to send a response! It’s much appreciated and gives me the closure I need to move on to my next queries. #WritingCommunity #amquerying
