“You’re going to fall down—but the world doesn’t care how many times you fall down, as long as it’s one fewer than the number of times you get back up.” — Aaron Sorkin

I just got to call my author and tell them that their book debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. I love my job, my authors, and their incredible books 💙

I keep telling myself the next draft will be squeaky clean. LOL. Each draft is just a different flavour of chaos. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

I really need to take my writing outside more often… After being cooped up for a few days, this feels sooo refreshing.

The agents said no. That’s fine—I’ll say yes to myself. In a few months, my book will be out in the world on my terms. Watch this space!🥳

You don’t have to feel brave to write. The page isn’t asking for fearlessness. It’s asking for presence—for the quiet promise of showing up, even when your hands shake. #writing #writingcommunity

Today’s writing session: 📝 Words written: 400 🗑️ Words deleted: 700 💡 Emotional state: feral, but productive? #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

It doesn’t matter how slow it feels! Every sentence you write is one step closer to the story you’re meant to tell. Small progress is still progress. Keep going. #writing #writingcommunity

Your story might be the spark that lights someone’s way through the dark. Write it. Share it. The world needs your light. #writing #writingcommunity

Writing update: Tried to fix a plot hole. Accidentally dug three new ones. Now my story is a swiss cheese of narrative problems. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

Sometimes the words pour out like water. Sometimes they come out like I’m trying to squeeze toothpaste from an empty tube. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

I just finished my daily yoga class, and the instructor ended it by saying: “The infinite potential within me recognizes the infinite potential within you.” And if that’s not the whole point of what we’re doing here together, I don’t know what is. #writingcommunity

My outline: clear, concise, inspiring. My draft: a feral animal that’s never even heard of structure. #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

Procrastination tip: Clean your desk, make tea, alphabetize your bookshelf. By the time you sit down to write, you'll *really* deserve that nap :) #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

My plot hole is now so big I could park a spaceship in it. But hey, at least I found it before the final draft? #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

That feeling of warm, freshly printed paper containing over 70,000 words of a story you've spent 5 years grappling over ... 💜🖋️

Your writing life doesn't have to look impressive. It just has to be *yours*. Sustainable. Soul-feeding. Something you want to return to again and again. #writing #writingcommunity

My creative process: Step 1: Write a line. Step 2: Eye it until it loses all meaning. Step 3: Delete it. Step 4: Rewrite the same line, but somehow worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #writing #writingcommunity

Yesterday's writing session felt like untangling Christmas lights that were packed away by a vengeful past self. The scene is done, but so am I. #writing #writingcommunity

Your doubt isn't proof you're failing. It's proof you care. And caring is what makes the words you write come alive. #writing #writingcommunity
