This has been in my head for a month (1/2) #HelluvaBoss #Stolitz

I recently compiled a list of how I approach line editing my own stories, and I figured I might as well share. Pls bear in mind that I'm no professional editor. I'd never dare call myself that. So, a 🧵 on line editing your own stuff 🧵

when a character dies and their love interest has to be dragged away bc they’re screaming and crying and won’t let go of their body

The train system is a fucking disgrace Fucking abysmal Never been so angry / upset

Me: *Reads book* Me: Wow! That was a good book! Me: *Realises there’s a sequel and I wanna read it* Me: Oh no Me: *Realises it’s actually a series* Me: OH NO My wallet: OH NO My sleep schedule: OH NO My out-of-book awareness: OH NO

🚩this is a whole lot of red flags 🚩 my agent was Happy to give me as much time as i needed depending on my own schedule. i was pretty certain i'd want to go with faer from the beginning, but i still took a few weeks to consider. everyone needs time!!!

Last thing I'll say about this whole nonsense: literally no one is saying books in non-romance genres should never include sex or romance. I, with my list of fantasy adventure and mystery WIPs all of which so far include romance and/or sex, am certainly not saying that. 🧵

Came across a cool quote today: “Powerful emotions burn memories into our mind.” #WritingCommunity Do you have any powerful emotion-type scenes? #authors #WIP #writingq #qotd #quote

im 50 pages into a book with a mc that is EXTREMELY autistic and i just checked the reviews and would u look at that 🙃 everyone hating her for lacking empathy, being blunt, seeming emotionally immature, etc 🙃🙃🙃

… So I’ve been really quiet I got a job, passed probation, and moved house. Life’s been weird and fast-paced. And now, I’m actually just living - without stress(ish) anymore. The result of this new healthy mindset? I started editing my book again. This time, I’m gonna make it
