Part of being a fiction author is experiencing life. Whether you do that vicariously by reading other books or watching TV, or if you go out and try new things on a regular basis, what you experience informs your writing. Step away from the keyboard regularly and refuel. #LianaEdits

So, friends: I was going to take a few days off to mourn my dog. But I’ve got a reputation for speaking when I must. So, I will speak—consequences be damned. Before the poem: This poem defends free speech and criticizes mob mentality. It is not a threat to any person or group.#resist#poems#poetry
In the wake of rampant online mobbing, cancel culture, and attacks on those who speak their truth, I wrote this poem as an urgent declaration: words are not crimes, courage is not punishable, and no one has the right to silence another. This is a stand for free speech, defiance against digital fury, and a call to remain unbowed in the face of threats, shaming, or dismissal. Written now, because the attacks are happening in real time, and silence would be complicity.

No

They swarm in pixels, pitchforks in hand,
Dragging lives through mud for a single truth spoken.
No.

You speak—bold, raw, human—and they descend.
Fired, threatened, shamed.
No.

Some, they cheer in whispered mobs.
Some, they roar, claws bared,
But this isn’t a game of sides.
No.

Truth is not a crime.
Courage is not a felony.
Words are not weapons for the faint of heart.
No.

Jimmy spoke. They took his show.
Others fell.
And you—watching, waiting—think it’s normal?
No.

I see the pitch, the drag, the callous delight.
I see your digital mobs gnawing at flesh and name.
And I will say it:
No.

No one silences truth with fire and fury.
No one bends courage with threat and shame.
No.

Speak.
Speak.
Speak.
And if they come for you, let them meet the echo of defiance.
No.

@samknight.bsky.social's #writingtips for new authors: In 1st person POV, it makes no sense for your character/narrator to tell the reader what they couldn't see unless the story is told in past tense. "I walked down the hall, never seeing the hand that tried to grab me but missed."

Avoid using tropes in your story
Sometimes our writing feels stale, even though we’ve used active voice, written crisp sentences, and developed a well-structured plot with a main character who grows. But if you sense that you’ve h…

I've spent a lot of time thinking about how much I hate AI. It has infected everything, and everything it touches is garbage. Fellow writers, Do not get discouraged by these gilded viruses. We need human writing. We need it now more than ever. Because AI can never replace a good writer.

About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all. - Rita Mae Brown

Embrace who you are and don't make any apologies for being yourself.

Avoid Speeches and Soliloquies in Dialogue
Rarely in real life do people get to give long speeches during conversations. When people talk to one another, there are frequent questions that “interrupt” or exchanges of brief stories to sh…
