I'm looking for the right(write) words. (she/her)
https://lonicameron.carrd.co/
pinned post!
Stories don't have to begin at the beginning. When writing, begin anywhere. Maybe you already know the ending. Maybe there's a big battle that you can picture in your mind. Maybe it's a moment of romance. Get the words out, no matter where they end up in your story.

If I want to hear from average Americans about the news, I'll go to social media. We need journalists to seek and speak the truth to us.

Building sublists for the New Year, and itās always so upsetting to see an editor I adore left the business or was let go. So much of an agentās job is getting to know our editor friends well, so we can send them what they love. When publishers lose editors, they lose deep relationships too.

To write as if your life depended on it; to write across the chalkboard, putting up there in public the words you have dredged; sieved up in dreams, from behind screen memories, out of silenceļ¹£words you have dreaded & needed in order to know you exist." āAdrienne Rich

(Semi-relatedly, this is why in my outlining classes I often say "As your writing career progresses you WILL have to give people outlines on a regular basis, so get used to it") Your editor does not care if you are a pantser! Neither does the acquisitions committee! Just give them the thing!
