Look I just want you all to know that if you need to take some time for yourself, turn off your phone and barricade yourself into a labyrinth of books from whence you shall emerge only once every 1000 years to wreak havoc on the realms of men, that's perfectly natural ok

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Killing your brother and marrying his wife only to be haunted by his ghost and poisoned by his son before you manage to kill him with the poisoned blade and no one is left but some bloke named Horatio is how you become king

When Carter starts to fall for another contestant on a popular reality dating show, he must decide between his original plans and the direction his heart is pulling him or he may ruin both in the process. #agentguide #QuestPit #Q #R #A #LGBT

Most common issue I’m seeing in manuscripts in 2025 so far: Every scene is doing one thing and one thing only. Try for at least two, but all four would better: - push plot forward - explore setting - internal character stuff - external character/relationship stuff #writingtips

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

Sometimes, I write something into a manuscript, even though I know I'm just going to cut it a few drafts later, because an author is allowed to have a little darling as a treat.

I don't think I want a new year this time around, I want a gently used year like a 2015 or maybe a 1998 if it's in good shape idk

I love being a girl!

I am giving a commencement speech soon and I keep thinking that the only piece of advice I really want to give is “do things more.”

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

If you’re looking for a free way to support an author, did you know you can ask your library to stock a book you want to read that they don’t have yet? And usually it’s a very basic online form? Google your library name plus the words “request a title” or “suggest a title” to find yours.

Did I finish that book or did that book finish me?
