I really want to be able to get into audiobooks, but it’s crazy how distracted I get. Any tips? #BookSky #WritingCommunity

I’m in the editing phase; word counts don’t exist. I just went through the entire book using control f to rework and remove unnecessary instances of the word “just.” Every editing day is a chaotic caffein-fuelled fever dream. #AmWriting #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Escapist fiction ≠ just fantasy/sci-fi📍 Romance = escape into love stories Thriller = escape into adrenaline Historical = escape into other eras Memoir = emotional escape The magic isn't the setting, it's the IMMERSION. writestats.com/47-of-reader... #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Writing: *is my passion* Also writing: *is hard and I don't want to do it* #AmWriting #writing #writingcommunity #writersky #writesky #booksky #sciencefiction #InkfortPublishingDerby

I just love putting together super in-depth character profiles with information I’ll never use but that “solidify my characters in my mind.” #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Thinking about the fact that I have to return to work next week. I’m gonna miss the luxury of being able to dedicate whole days to writing! #AmWriting #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Good morning to everyone except this dang side character who has decided to steal the show and make it everyone else’s problem. #BookSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

There’s something so refreshing about going to a writing conference and knowing that others there share your passion and understand both the struggles and the joys of being a writer! #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

“Reading is like breathing in, writing is like breathing out.” - Pam Allyn #BookSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

If you are capable of writing fiction, you are certainly capable of writing diversity into your characters. We don’t just write what we know. We use our imagination and do our proper research. Stop with the excuses. We need more diversity in fiction! #BookSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Trying to find some recent comps for my book is a great excuse for me to get some new books! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #BookSky

Truth! 😁 #spellingandgrammarmatter #englishlessons #writerslife

I’d like to be considered a “wordsmith,” and yet I had a conversation with my partner in which I described pasta as “DNA-shaped” and “like the Subnautica Ray” and finally “similar to a car ramp.” Descriptions are hard sometimes. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #BookSky

“So don’t worry about publishing. Worry about enjoying writing, experimenting, playing with it.” - Gayle Forman #BookSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

The second draft of my thriller is complete, and it’s off to my first alpha reader! In the meantime, I feel so antsy waiting, but it does give me time for guilt-free reading since I can’t edit until I get some big-picture feedback. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

“Reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.” - Jim Rohn #BookSky #WritingCommunity

10/10 would recommend spending a whole day writing/climbing at a climbing gym. Workout for the body and mind, and when you get stuck on one, just switch to the other! Only downside is a chalky computer… #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

If a friend offers to be an alpha or beta reader, do you offer some sort of compensation for their time/feedback? Does the answer change whether or not that friend writes as well? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

Yep. That's about right. No shame innit? #booksky #readinglife

Nothing more grounding or peaceful than reading in nature 💚 #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

Just a thriller aficionado patiently waiting for the fall for extra reading/writing ambience. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting

When I get into a book, my eyes tend to jump ahead to short sentences and dialogue further down. I have no intention of skipping ahead, but I sometimes get so excited my eyes forget reading etiquette. I often need to cover the rest of the page if it’s a really good story. #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Was I supposed to write this morning? Yes. Did I make a tiny art gallery for my gecko instead? Yes. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting
