Thought of the day. 🙌⭐❤️ #perserverance #motivation #keepgoing #brenebrown

Anyone up for this? 😄

Some of you need this reminder: Emotional leeches/attention whores are gold medalists at ghosting.🥇👻 Funny how "busy" only applies to you, but they're not too busy seeking attention, favors & clout😏 🚨Uses a bro, discards him, then seeks opportunities off his friends?🚨OPPORTUNISTIC LEECH DETECTED!🚨

How many of you writers, artists and other creatives have a cat or dog in your family? 😊

“Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you’re willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it.” —Lou Holtz. Squash self-doubts, #turtlewriters! We all get them! They just prove you *are* a writer. So, write! Be awesome! 🙂🐢❤️ 🍀  #WritingCommunity

Thought of the day for your mental & emotional wellbeing: 💡It's better to disappoint people than to resent them. What do you think? #boundaries #relationships #family #friends #mentalhealth

How do you guys feel about this?

“My only conclusion about writing structure is that nothing works if you don’t have interesting characters and a good story to tell.” -Harold Ramis, writer, director, and actor of Ghostbusters, Stripes, Groundhog Day, and more. #amwriting Keep Writing. #author #writing

With how sick and in ♿chronic pain I am since the hospital and how late it is in the month, I will not be able to make rent at all. I need $140 still, and I really, really, really need your help. Please help me and Bumbles <3 #mod #indiedev #signalboost ko-fi.com/pamharvestcr...

Happy Family Day long weekend! Where are my fellow Canadians at? 😀 #FamilyDay

When I write a novel it's like I'm watching a movie in my head and I need to relate it as faithfully and honestly as possible. What is your writing process like? -Wrtr #amwriting #amediting ...Keep Writing. #author #writing

Question for poets who've published poetry chapbooks: ✨What made you decide to write a chapbook instead of a longer collection? ✨How did that work out for you?

You should always feel your writing. It should have an emotional impact on you. Whether it's from tension, humor, romance, or another feeling. If you, the author, can feel it, the greater the likelihood your reader will feel it too. -Wrtr #amwriting Be #Writing. #author

"Tired of giving time I didn't have to things that didn't happen."⬅️ I felt this in my soul. 😐⌛💜 This reminder of my limited time & energy made me decide to eliminate the unnecessary. I no longer make deals on promises I can't make others keep. #priorities #perspective #mortality #life #purpose

Each character is their own story, however limited in scope inside the novel. Sometimes the characters really are the story more than the plot. The plot gets them going, but who the characters are, their decisions and their path is the story. #amwriting #writing. -Wrtr #author

It's simple: Promote and support other authors and creators. They're your peers, not your competition, and introducing them to new audiences expands the field rather than limiting your options. I was helped early on by others in my line of work. I'm happy to pay things forward.

Happy Monday, folks!😊Let's start this week off with some happy thoughts. Share something good that happened to you or something that made you smile. 🙂 Here are mine: ⭐Woke up to an email that made me laugh. ⭐I found an unopened bar of chocolate I misplaced & thought I already ate.😁

Happy Friday! Stay away from idiots & surround yourself with the wise. 😄📖🙃 If the conversation won't make you happier, smarter, or richer, eliminate it as unnecessary. I reclaimed so much of my time by avoiding pointless activities & conversations. Your time is precious.

I hope I'll be described as "disturbing" or "stellar"! 😆

Where are my fellow introverts at? 😄 I'd love to know where you are and how this year has been treating you so far. #introvert #boundaries #innerpeace

Sometimes, you've just gotta go with Conan.

“I would much rather not tell you how to feel about something. I would rather you just felt it. I will tell you what happens... I’m not gonna tell you how sad the death of the unicorn was. I’m gonna kill that unicorn, & I’m gonna break your heart.” – Neil Gaiman #turtlewriters 🙂🐢❤️ 🍀#WritingCommunity

Are you guys doing anything creative this weekend? 😃What are you working on? #writers #poets #artlife #amwriting #amediting #writerchat #pubchat #publishing

As a writer or author, it can be nerve-racking to have someone read your new book. But stories are meant to be read and experienced. Any feedback you can get helps your story, and you grow as a writer. But remember, not all feedback can/should be used. #amwriting Be Writing. #author #writing

Do you agree or disagree? 🤔 An abandoned project you're 95% satisfied with is better than an unfinished project constantly postponed for perfection. Your thoughts? #writerlife #amwriting #artist #artistlife #creativity #bookchat #painting #writing #writingcommunity #publishing

Best way to get young people to invest their time in reading is to be willing to invest time in it ourselves. #EduSky #FoundObjectArt

Had a Spanish professional cartoonist tell me once: “The day you stop learning with your art, or lose your sense of wonder, that is the day you die as an artist”. (Uh, hmm, yes, they are a little dark with sayings, Spain, sry).

To everyone who participated in #NaNoWriMo, whether you reached your goals or not, you are farther along than a month ago. Tomorrow is for setting new goals, but now is the time to celebrate your growth. Be proud of yourself. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #author #Booksky 💙📚 #scriptsky

“Writing encompasses all writing activities. Thinking about writing, writing, typing your novel, plotting your book, all. As an author, we lump them all under writing. I'm even writing in my head when I'm walking and working through characters' actions.” -Wrtr #amwriting #author #writing

If you’re asked to make a gift list this year, and there’s a lot of books on it, include links to independent and/or local bookshops. Make it as easy as possible for your loved ones to support small businesses. #Booksky 💙📚 #amreading
