decided halfway through that this character should be really hot and now i’m wondering if i’ve made a grave mistake by naming him boris

thinking about golden retriever himbo love interests who are a little clumsy and a lot head over heels and i just think that's neat

my coworker for the week is too cute it’s becoming seriously distracting

#writingtip even if your protagonist isn’t the loudest or flashiest, we don’t want to lose them in a scene. Try an over-the-shoulder shot:
- ground with their emotions
- share their interpretation
- let them react
put them in a spotlight. never forget this is THEIR story.

Authors will literally write another book to avoid writing their book

Wrote a book? Cool, now write the next one. Out on sub? Write the next one. Won an award? Write the next one. Didn’t even get nominated? Write the next one. Querying agents? Write the next one. Waiting for pub day? Write the next one. Always be writing the next one.

Watching You’ve Got Mail for the first time. Movies used to have Nora Ephron’s dialogue. They used to have Greg Kinnear. Movies used to have Tom Hanks being loud.

man on the subway just gave up his seat for a kid and when she asked about it he said “I’m okay sweetheart” and I think I’m in love

Love this!

Email 1: No worries!

Email 2: Oh, no worries.

Email 3: No worries if not, LOL-

I scream. My jaw unhinges. From my gaping maw springs an endless number of worries, crawling out from the inner abyss, for I am in fact, all worries.
