What the heck is REALLY happening in LA? #losangeles #iceprotests #LAProtests

Walked to the library. Checked out three movies 🎬

Variety review: "In one jump-cut scene, the little girl scurries back to the noodle stop...percussive music plays, bursting with fear and excitement at her new illicit hobby. It is a masterclass in sensory immersion, the staccato cutting mimicking the adrenaline rush of the novice shoplifter..."

I'm writing a horror short film. While some writers make mood boards I like to make font tests. Which one do you like? #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writer #writing #quotes #author #write #authors #WIP #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor #horrormovies #shortfilms #filmmaking #fonts

I choose the red background for Margaret Atwood 😀 I think her quote is another reminder why you should write the book you always wanted to read. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writer #writing #quotes #author #write #authors #WIP #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor

Phyllis Dorothy James White, Baroness James of Holland Park, known professionally as P. D. James, was an English novelist known mostly for her series of detective novels. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writer #writing #quotes #author #write #authors #WIP #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor

Lisa Kron is a writer and wrote an especially good book called Story Genius about the craft of writing which focuses on how a character's misbelief makes their arc meaningful to the reader. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writer #writing #quotes #author #write #authors #WIP #AskAuthor

Twyla Tharp got famous for her dance choreography, but her book The Creative Habit, has helped me with my writing more than any other book probably. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writer #writing #quotes #writerslife #author #story #write #authors #writersblock #WIP #WritingTip #WriteTip

I love Hemingway but my favorite thing about A Farewell to Arms is that it inspired that scene in Silver Linings Playbook. I'll link to it in the comments. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #quotes #writerslife #author #write #authors #WIP #creativewriting #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor

Happy to have discovered this sci-fi thriller — my favorite genre 🤓 by Mike Chen #booksky #scifi #book

When I was a kid and read The Left Hand of Darkness and the Earthsea "trilogy" by @ursulakleguin.com it made me dream up my own worlds and characters wonder about becoming a writer. Who influenced you? #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #quotes #writerslife #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor

Elmore Leonard has words of writing wizdom that often start with...don't. Kinda like this one. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writerscommunity #writer #writing #quotes #writerslife #author #write #authors #writersblock #WIP #creativewriting #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor #LitChat

Hello Writers. I've been boning up on the craft of writing. I got a book by Chuck Palahniuk who has lots of practical advice. Here's a quote about how stories need a ticking clock. What is the clock in your #wip that gives the story a sense of urgency? #Booksky #WriteSky #quotes #WritingTip

I hope this is true, because I'm better at being persistent than I am at writing. #Booksky #WriteSky #WIPSnips #writers #writerscommunity #writer #writing #quotes #writerslife #author #write #authors #writersblock #WIP #creativewriting #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor #LitChat #Storytelling

Way before I read Fahrenheit 451 (which is in my top 25) I read Dandelion Wine and Something Wicked This Way Comes. #Booksky #WriteSky #amquerying #WIPSnips #writers #writerscommunity #writer #writing #writingcommunity #writersofig #quotes #WritingTip #WriteTip #AskAuthor #LitChat #Storytelling
