The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

From a usability standpoint, all these extra AI prompts aren't just irritating -- they slow you down. They make the applications a little clunkier to use. You're just trying to search, but now the search window is prompting you with SEVERAL different terms and questions. It's noise.

Visa says they're still drowning today! Payment processors think that we're not organized enough to keep this up but it's we either prove them wrong or submit to global censorship so it's. not much of a contest. Keep calling all 4!!

Because sometimes I just need a little reminder:🤔 Not everyone who wants to write can write. Many are never able to write.😢 My ability to write is a privilege. Writing isn't a chore, it's a blessing. ✍️ Today I GET to write. I am so very lucky that I get to write.🍀 #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I got 12 more days to write 15k words. Can I do it? Maybe! At this point anything could happen and it wouldn't faze me.

Feeling a bit discouraged and behind today. I know writing takes a long time, and I know the time will pass anyway, but it still feels like I'm taking way too long to finish my novel. There's still so much I have to do.

Legitimate (and possibly dumb) question: Can you tell a person's build if they're wearing suit of armor? One of my characters wears armor and is very tall and muscular but would you be able to tell at first glance? #amwriting #writingcommunity #writing #fantasy

Rayne does not get along with people who have superiority complexes or people who are too complacent in their roles of power. She also doesn't like cold weather and sour foods. #camprevpit #CRPbrimstone

Hmm all my main characters go through it pretty hard 😅. I guess if I had to pick I'd chose my MC's unofficial adopted pet. I would describe him as having the personality of a young kitten. He doesn't really understand what's going on, but is having a great time regardless. #camprevpit #CRPbrimstone

My fantasy story is focused on giant monsters who are older than the land itself and dwell in the land, air, oceans and volcanos. They're invisible to most people but their impacts can be felt across the land.

I'm currently working on developmental edits for my first high fantasy novel. My main character, Rayne, is the goddess's chosen champion, tasked with saving the world, but the only problem is she doesn't know what she's supposed to protect the world from. #campkickoff #CampRevPit #CRPBrimstone

As an elder millennial, I’ve been through this market crash rodeo at least twice (lost count) & have never had enough $$ to invest in the stock market (bc of said crashes + other generational events). And also I recognize this is Very Bad. And also it’s just another Monday as an elder millennial.

I've been staring at this chapter for 2 hours deciding whether I'm making my main character suffer a bit TOO much. Finally I said fuck it. She must suffer. For the plot. #amwriting #writing #writesky

I think LORD OF THE RINGS being a story in which, canonically, it is entirely possible for evil to triumph in the temporal world, and in fact more likely than not that it will, but also that reality should not change the meaning of your moral values, is an underrated part of what makes it so good.

My (game) writing tip o' the day is You gotta learn to love your own writing. No iffybuts. No doubtysads. Loved writing reads so much nicer Plus. by loving your own writing, you'll be able to spot issues in your writing. After all, the first editor is you Your work deserves love, whatever stage

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community. Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
