Affirmation: I’m healing myself. Today I respond in new ways. I gift myself with self acceptance. I see challenges as a way for me to grow. I choose the direction of my life and I know I’m closer to creating the life I imagine.

I wanted to write a book on penguins. My editor said no. He told me to write a book on paper. It’s much easier.

I’ve been reading a lot this month, and it occurred to me that there’s one simple thing the best writers do that makes their stories feel real and three-dimensional: Their characters inconvenience each other. 🧵

STOP RE-READING WHAT YOU’VE ALREADY WRITTEN AND JUST WRITE

Writers when they find an empty space in their house: I could put a bookshelf there

Truth time: it doesn’t really matter if you had your MS professionally edited or not. What matters is the story. So don’t worry if you can’t afford a professional edit before you query. Many writers can’t and still get agents. #TransparencyInPublishing

Still such a surreal moment to see my workbook up at Times Square howtomeetyourself.com

Does the female protagonist need a love interest? 🧐 Can she rule the pages without a love?

Writers be like “writing is my passion” and will then complain bitterly about writing

Healing is how we re-write our own life story.

One of the biggest mistakes we make in relationships is hoping our partner will catch on to what we want without us communicating it. Our partners can’t read our minds, and if we want a need to be met, we have to speak it.

I’ve noticed there’s so much more men in my community here on Twitter than my Instagram community. I really appreciate all the men here learning and growing with me 💜

Remember this tweet? Well, the day finally came! I'm officially a published author, and so so thankful.

I love seeing people get agented!!!!! I love seeing people get book deals!!!!!!! My heart is overflowing with joy to see folks have their dreams come true 🥹

When you’re reading a multi-POV book and your least favorite POV comes up:

If loving craft books is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Is your favorite in my stack? What have I missed?

Can confirm! I offer query critiques on my website that come with 2 passes. It's really helpful to have professional eyes on the query

This is awful. If you revise, you should feel safe querying an agent again. This response is so unprofessional from the agent when they could've just said "sry I don't do resubs" Unless you're spamming said agent, you should not be terrified of getting blocked! 😡
