Me: I can't wait to get home from work so I can write! Me when I get home from work:

Fighting my way through edits when I'm the one who made the mess

Wrote another 2,500 words today, which puts the manuscript at around 14.5K. Took a few days off after an IV last week, so it felt really good to get back into it. I’m so into how this story is coming together. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I’m standing at the edge of something I’ve chased for a long time. This is the year it happens—I just know it. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

It’s about finding connection when the world falls apart, & holding on even when it hurts. If you’re into zombies, emotional depth, & characters who feel painfully human, this might be your next favorite read. a.co/d/d5sVRWW #WritingCommunity #PostApocalyptic

I’m writing a novel about two sisters, a deathbed confession, and a journal that unravels more than just grief. Think obsession, unreliable narrators, and the kind of love that leaves bruises. What are your favorite psychological reads? #AmWriting #PsychologicalSuspense

Fun fact: a year ago yesterday I sent the query that got me my amazing agent! Then yesterday, I got amazing news on top of my already vague status! A year ago, I was only DREAMING of being where I am now. So NEVER give up. Your life can literally change in only a year 🖤

Another solid writing day—my #WIP is just shy of 17k words. This story is raw, emotional, and quietly unnerving. I’m loving how the characters are taking shape, and I’m especially excited to dive into the next two chapters. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #cantwaittostartquerying

Writers, can you read when you are knee deep in a WIP, or do you need to shelter yourself from outside influence? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

How much does an author’s name influence your decision to pick up a book by someone you’ve never read before? I’m debating between using my initials (WB Welch), full name (Whitney Welch), or even a pen name for my next book. #WritingCommmunity #amwriting #readingcommunity

OMG this is sooooo good! Part thriller, part historical war novel. It's got so many layers, it's thrilling and sad and tense and just a brilliant, brilliant novel. 📚The Stranger in Room Six Jane Corry out June 19th Penguin Books UK

Hi, I’m WB Welch—author of a few self-pubbed novellas, currently drafting a gritty, emotional novel I plan to query this year. If you’re looking to connect with writers/readers, I’d love to hear from you. Books: amazon.com/WB-Welch/e/B01…

Filthy ergonomics... we hates them forever!

Query trench friends, What's one sentence from your manuscript you're secretly proud of? Here's one of mine: "Near or far, his gravitational pull has been the tether of my life - and without it, I’m lost." #WritingCommunity #amquerying

"A brilliantly written collection of short stories along the lines of Stephen King and the Twilight Zone." “WB writes with a poet's soul as she weaves story after story of profound suspense, heart-pounding thrills, and sheer terror.” a.co/d/5DqJBM9

Me writing: “Sunset wasn’t quiet. It was a surrender. A handing over from one world to another.” Me trying to explain it out loud: “So…like…it was a moody sunset.” #amwriting #WritingCommunity
