I wasn't born to respond to emails, I was born to go on adventures, browse book shops and spend my afternoons sipping coffee and reading books in cafés.

Idk who made this, but I’m gonna need to make my own now

Love this.

a writer's new year's resolutions: • write more (tweets count) • discover optimal writing environments (bog? haunted mansion??) • find a new hobby that isn't writing (existential crisis doesn't count) • make more friends (and give them tragic backstories)

POWERFUL!

Lol I mean I did the dishes... lol

Writers when they get a new idea: -This is amazing! -So original! -I bet it will write itself -Possibly the GREATEST idea I've ever had Writers when actually WRITING: -What is this garbage? -Who thought up this mess? -This will take YEARS to write -Why did I do this to myself?

top things that scare writers: • computer dying & losing stories • ai scraping our writing to learn • being perceived • blinking cursor on a blank page • no snacks or favorite beverages • needing to cut 10k or more words

Is there a way to skip the revision stage and just have the book magically turn out perfect? Asking for a friend…

Writers, do you find yourself slipping into Editor mode when you’re trying to read books just for fun? I keep thinking of ways to edit sentences I’m reading and it’s quite distracting. Am I the only one?

“Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.” - Henry David Thoreau You don’t have to stick to your TBR. Let your heart guide you!

Yeah sometimes I google sketchy stuff for book research, but it’s embarrassing how many of my searches are just spelling and synonym questions.

You know you’re a writer when you perpetually have a million browser tabs and post-it notes.

I’m a firm believer that setting the tone for your story with a tailored playlist for writing sessions is critical to the success of said story.

“A novel is like a bow, and the violin that produces the sound is the reader’s soul.” - Stendhal

There’s no “wrong” writing platform to use for your novel. Except of course a Notepad app. That’s wrong. Only a psychopath would write a novel there.

I *should* sit up properly and hold my book at a good angle for my neck. But inevitable I curl up like a brittle, old croissant.

SUPPORT 👏 YOUR 👏 LOCAL 👏 LIBRARY 👏 Checking out a book or ordering one in can tremendously help with keeping libraries open and keeping authors’ books on shelves.

I’ve thought of a story I’d like to create for people to read. Just have to outline, write, edit, query, go on sub, and pray for the market to be right. What could go wrong?
