If you want to be a better writer, 1 thing that'll help you improve naturally: Set aside time in the morning 1st thing to write. It's best to do this w/o consuming anything 1st, as in no phone or coffee 1st. Write for 15-30 min every morning and watch yourself get more comfortable writing.

When I ask, What's your favorite writing prompt? I'm not referring to an AI prompt. I'm thinking more like a creative theme or subject, like "Write a scene with a purple dog in it." Then, a group of writers can use this to practice writing. Make sense? Do you have a favorite writing prompt?

Writing tip: Look out for pet phrases in your writing, ones that you use over and over again. These echoes tend to get noticed by readers, and they find them repetitive. Most writers have this habit. Reread your work and keep an eye out. #writingtips #copyediting #authors

Did anyone else see the lunar eclipse last night? It was pretty cool. I checked it out between 11:30 p.m. and 12:15 a.m. ET (in Ohio). It was just my partner and me whispering in the dark in the parking lot in front of our place, staring at the moon, lol! 🌒

A common writing issue: using filler words. I'm guilty of this: really, very, actually, just, totally. Fix by cutting the filler word or replacing it with something more accurate (very big-->huge). Need help? Reach out. I'm happy to help. 🙂 #AmEditing #writingcommunity #books #freelance

Ack! I'm mid-manuscript, on a deadline, and my power went out! It was off for an hour and just came back on. I hope it stays on. Thousands are without power in town. Send some luck, prayers, and good vibes my way please!

I'm desperately trying to find my next addictive read. Clearly reading has become some kind of coping mechanism, lol. 😆 Anyway, any suggestions are welcome! I love urban fantasy!

I love moments like this. Just got a nice note from a client: "Ceylan went above & beyond her promise to provide a manuscript review for my novel. The story will be better w/her insights. She was also very professional in her communication and has a charming personally. I recommend her services."

What's everyone reading right now? I'm not usually into dystopian, post-apocalyptic fiction, so I never read The Hunger Games, but I finally gave in and read them recently. I actually found them to be really engaging and hard to put down! What do you all think? #writing #editing #books

I'm coming up for air for a minute from my desk of manuscripts and to-do lists to ask, #writers, what are your favorite writing prompts? ✍️

I came across this cute tea steeper that my grandmother gave me a long time ago, and realized I don't even know what kind of loose tea I could use with it. Anyone have any suggestions? I used to get loose tea leaves from Turkiye, but I haven't been there in years.

Hey, check it out! I'm famous! Not really, but it's nice to be highlighted by an org I'm a member of. Even though I knew this was coming, I forgot. So, when it offered to introduce me to me, that was pretty surreal!

So, the doctor said there are signs of healing, so I can start to put more weight on the foot with the broken ankle. But by the next appointment in 4 weeks, I should hopefully be able to get rid of the crutches and maybe the boot! That'll be a relief!

Do you know what a win jar is? It's a jar (or folder etc.) where you keep a record of your wins. When you have a win, big or small, write it down & put it in the jar. (1/2)

You know, I thought I wasn't a big fan of historical fiction, but I was wrong. Apparently, as long as the world-building is done right, I'm happy. So, any suggestions? Of course, there's got to be mystery, weirdness, or action-adventure in the story.

This is so true. I love local bookstores. I'm one of those people that just love the feel and smell of books. Being surrounded by so many stories is a magic all of its own. But, hey, I am a bit weird!
