writing is wild because some days, you write 4000 words, and other days, you write [something bad happens] and call it a day

Being an author is googling “what would it be like to be attacked by a yeti” and just hoping the FBI has enough context.

Reader: I love your characters, they feel so real Me: Thanks, they're based on the voices in my head

Me: I’m going to write a cozy romance. My subconscious: Okay but what if we add generational trauma as a garnish

Every author has two wolves inside them: “This scene needs to be more realistic.” “ADD A TIME LOOP.”

My favorite genre: “I should be writing”—a psychological horror.

I love when people ask, "What's your book about?" Bestie, I don't even know what my book is about.

First drafts aren't meant to be good. They're meant to exist.

Author math is aiming to write 2,000 words but instead designing a map no one asked for and then stopping for a snack.

The "one bed" trope except it's only because the other bed has all their laundry on it

-A Court of Rent and Back Pain -Game of Sourdough -The Chronicles of Brunch Fantasy titles, if they were realistic

my toxic trait is setting word count goals i know i’ll never reach

I grew up in MI, spent 15 yrs in Vegas, and now live in a small city outside Denver. Whenever the creative well runs dry, I go outside. Mornings like this are my favorite.

The line between “This is brilliant” and “This is crap” is ~so fine~

If you want to be published, you should be reading tons of books in the genre you write (especially those from the last few years). #WritingTip

if you want to find any lingering typos in your manuscript, just send it to someone whose opinion you value. you’ll notice all the mistakes right after. you’re welcome.

writing a book is hard. formatting indentations and page breaks in google docs is harder.

I’m going to build an online course called “how to be a writer” and it’s just going to be me crying for 90 min #author

shadow daddy but give him a dad bod

Never quit. Keep writing. Keep querying. Keep publishing. We need authors and we need books.

Still figuring out how this platform works. 😅 Authors, say hi so I can make new friends! 👋 #author #writing

To the editors who read our messy drafts and somehow find the masterpiece hiding within them: You are heroes of the literary world. 🙏

I'm writing #romantasy for the first time, and to say I'm enjoying myself would be an understatement. I LOVE suspending reality, bending the rules, and getting... creative. 😍

True or false: In a story, no matter how bad the antagonist is, you still need to ensure that readers find a way to empathize with them. #author
