It may seem like a small milestone, but having my own website still feels surreal! In this small corner of the internet, you will find short stories I have written, and one day, hopefully, my first novel. amberbristow.com #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Does anyone in the #writingcommunity have any advice before I begin my search for a literary agent? #amquerying #5amwritersclub

Celebrating finishing my first draft with a Guinness in Dublin 🇮🇪 Still can’t quite believe it 🥹 #5amwritersclub #booksky

Plot twists don't have to shock. They just have to resonate. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #booksky

Progress is being made 💪🏼 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

This year, my partner and I bought our first property. It took us some time to decide how to decorate our reading nook, but now that it’s complete, the house finally feels like a home ☕🍂📕 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Wishing the #5amwritersclub creative sparks and strong arcs ✍️

My red pen has seen things... #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Starting my morning by diving into my followers’ work and hoping to meet some new faces in the #5amwritersclub and #writingcommunity. Got a #book, #shortstory, or #WIP? Drop it below - I’d love to check it out!

I received some lovely messages after sharing my short story "The Mystery of Rosemary Cross", so I’m excited to post the next piece in the two-part series: "The Truth Behind the Rosemary Cross Case" 💼 www.amberbristow.com/the-truth-be... #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

My sister saw my post about finding my next author obsession and handed me these. What are your thoughts on Freida McFadden's work? 🤔 #booksky #readingcommunity

What writing has taught me this week: 1. If a sentence makes me feel clever, it probably needs to be cut. 2. Pacing improves more from what I remove than what I add. 3. The first draft is for me - the edit is for the reader. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Early success is a scam. Great things take time. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #booksky

Fellow writers, how long did it take you to finish the first draft of your novel? 🤔 Please make me feel better 😅 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

My first drafts look like they were written during a power outage in my brain... #5amwriterslife #writingcommunity

I'm looking to start my day by connecting with fellow writers 📚 If you're working on something - a book, poem, or messy first draft - I’d love to learn more about it. Share your links down below 👇 #5amwritersclub #writerslift

If you've seen my past tweets, you know I'm guilty of over-editing... so I gave myself a one-hour challenge for this short story. Let me know what you think! 📝 www.amberbristow.com/the-mystery-... #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Lisa Jewell has been my author obsession for the past year. Now, I’m on the lookout for my next literary fixation. Who would you recommend? 📚 #booksky #5amwritersclub

What writing has taught me this week: 1. Stopping mid-chapter makes it easier to pick up the flow the next day 2. Skim the last chapter before writing, not just the last few lines 3. Let messy dialogue land - worry about perfecting it later #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Some days you write magic. Some days you write chaos. Both are progress. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

I spent all of yesterday reading in the sun, and wow did I need it. It's the first time in months I’ve felt truly reset after a weekend. It’s a luxury, I know, but if you can carve out the time, I couldn't recommend it more ☀️ #booksky #5amwritersclub

No outline, no direction, just pure wordy chaos until something finally clicks and a plot takes form. Who's with me? ... here's hoping this isn't the moment I realise I'm just unorganised 🫠 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Me: Writes 2,000 words Me reading it back: Who let this happen? 🫠 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Days slip like sand grains, All in the hourglass of life, Passing, one by one. Like the setting sun, Our time fades, preparing For new dawns to come. So treasure each grain, before the hourglass grows full, for this time, is yours. #vss365 #Haiku #Poetry #5amwritersclub

I’ve already hit my writing goal for the day… and this early, too! That’s almost unheard of for me. What are your writing goals today? ✍🏼✨ #5amWritersClub #writerslift #writingcommunity

A question for all traditionally published authors: How long did it take you to secure a literary agent? And did you work with an editor beforehand? 🤔 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #author

I might seem like a faceless person locked inside your screen - but I promise I’m very much human! 🙋🏼‍♀️ If you’d like to get to know me a little, I've posted some words to introduce myself over on my website. Come say hey! 🤗 amberbristow.com/about #writingcommunity #writerslift #5amwritersclub

Coffee, messy notes, and a stubborn draft that won’t quit. Here’s to small wins and big words today - good luck, #5amwritersclub! ✍️☕️

Hitting the halfway point of my first draft has been more challenging than I expected. My inspiration’s dipping, even though I’ve got a solid plan for the rest of the chapters (for now, at least) 🫠 Any tips for rekindling that writing spark? 📕 #amwriting #writerslife

Three hundred kind souls, follow my wandering words - thank you for the ride. -- I couldn’t ask for a more genuine community. Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to read my work, spark conversations, and follow along with my ramblings 🙏🏼 #vss365 #Haiku #Poetry #5amwritersclub

Officially booked a week off work to live like a happily retired novelist: iced latte in hand, knee deep in fresh flowerbeds, plotting future chapters. Friends say “26 going on 62.” I say it's pure bliss 🌱📚 #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

What writing has taught me this week: 1. Clarity comes after writing the messy version first 2. If a scene isn’t working, the issue starts earlier than I think 3. When a character goes quiet on the page, it’s a sign I don’t know them well enough yet #amwriting #writerslife #5amwritersclub

A blank page is both terrifying and irresistible. #booksky #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub

"Why is this taking so long?" - Me, spending a whole day rewriting a chapter I swore I loved. #amwriting #writerslife

A life so precious, Measured in treasured moments, Gone, in a heartbeat. #vss365 #Haiku #Poetry #5amwritersclub

Are you deep in a draft, outlining a new idea, or polishing a piece? I’d love to hear what you're working on ✍🏼 Let’s trade words, support, and keep each other moving forward ✨ #5amWritersClub #writerslift #writingcommunity

I posted "The Mirage of Salvation" on Vocal Media last year and was thrilled to see it got voted as a top story ⭐ I'd love to hear your thoughts! www.amberbristow.com/the-mirage-o... #amwriting #writingcommunity

It may seem like a small milestone, but having my own website still feels surreal! In this small corner of the internet, you will find short stories I have written, and one day, hopefully, my first novel. amberbristow.com #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity

Does anyone else get weirdly defensive about how book characters look when you finally see them in art or on screen? I didn’t write the book or have many details, but I have a full image in my head and feel almost betrayed when it’s different. #booksky #fantasy

My partner’s not thrilled, but the home office wall is now covered in Post-its... one for every chapter I still need to write. I’d love to say I haven’t added more after tweaking the pacing, but that’d be a lie. They were definitely my final tweaks though. Absolutely. For sure. 🫠 #5amwritersclub

What writing has taught me this week: 1. You don’t need inspiration to write. Starting often builds momentum. 2. The middle of a project is where confidence dips, but it’s also where the real work begins. 3. Deleting a weak paragraph still counts as progress. #amwriting #writerslife #writingtips

Two chapters written before work and feeling productive. After coffee, I’ll probably reread it and question every life choice I made... but hey, I’ll enjoy this delusion while it lasts. #5amwritersclub

Me on my third coffee at 10:45 😴📖 #booksky

Writing is stitching chaos into coherence, one sentence at a time. #booksky #writingcommunity #quote

I’ve always stuck to thrillers and mysteries, never thinking fantasy was for me. But here I am, halfway through ACOTAR, my feed flooded with fantasy reviews, and my Amazon cart loaded with the rest of the series. Sarah J. Maas has proven me wrong 🐉✨ #5amwritersclub #booksky

Meet Missy, the co-writer of my current WIP... #amwriting #5amwritersclub

Like the setting sun. Our time fades, preparing For new dawns to come. #vss365 #Haiku #Poetry #5amwritersclub

I'm looking to kick off my day by connecting with fellow writers ✍🏼 If you're working on something - a book, poem, or messy first draft - I’d love to learn more about it. Let’s read each other’s work, share encouragement, and build something real. #5amWritersClub #writerslift
