@MimiManyin @CraftLiterary @CourtneyHarler1 Woooooot!
Too real 😅
Is this draft I’m trying to write any good? No. Will it be any good? Also no.
Just got out of a webinar where the chat had at least 400+ messages in 1.5 hours. How can anyone pay attention to the chat AND the person speaking?! 🤯

“You become the writer who can write the book you want to write by writing the book you want to write.” 👆🏼maybe the most surprising—and wonderful—thing I discovered this past year. Grateful to have found @mdbell79’s substack today. mattbell.substack.com/p/36-no-failur…
What a lovely thing to read today. Thank you for a wonderful blog post and shoutout! 🤗
In this blog post, I quote one of my favorite substack essays, “The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling” by @beunscripted in The Audacity newsletter (@rgay). Thank you for writing this wonderful piece, Bernadette!✨ audacity.substack.com/p/the-truth-of…
@trubrian @alexmlwrites @PeriplusCollect So, so happy for you! CONGRATS B!!!

The questions I’ve been thinking about all day. Thank you @jamiattenberg
Bernadette Roca retweeted
In memoir the gaps, silences, absences, and erasures say as much as the memories. Text isn't the only way to tell your story.
Joy, not fear “That, in my view, is an artist: someone who purposely gets in over her head in a worthy cause, and, once there, to survive, summons forth new resources that even she didn’t know she had.” georgesaunders.substack.com/p/joy-not-fear
“You are tenebrescent. You were made to deepen in light. In joy. In humor, connection, and play. You are tenebrescent. OK? So run toward your light.” - @annasproul neonliterary.substack.com/p/move-toward-…
Stuck in a rewriting process that was going nowhere (read: staring at pages in utter despair, zero actual writing), I read each of these essays about 100 times each. Read to the bottom, scrolled up, read again. After a few days of this, I am finally—finally!—writing again 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Gorgeous
Lol my whole life rn
You know what sucks? Writing. You know what I love? Writing. You know what I wanna do? Write. You know what I don't wanna do? Write.
Wow, thank you ❤️
You know what sucks? Writing. You know what I love? Writing. You know what I wanna do? Write. You know what I don't wanna do? Write.
