I hope my memoirs can encourage others to become readers, thinkers, and writers too.

That's very insightful. I think such an organized writing process would help me.

I have never tried them, but wish to soon. However, I do suggest Titan Literary.

I'll stay tuned. This looks pretty cool. I like the metafictional elements.

I read this and found it hilarious, especially that joke about an angel getting its wings caught in revolving doors. Keep on writing. This stuff is funny.

Odd. It’s a nice and unique word you may find inspiration in.

It’s good to write every day, even if it’s horrible. Just allow the words to flow. You’ll get better soon.

Same. Good luck with your stories.

You are valid. AI is not. In order for something to be truly skilled, it must have a soul, sound mind, and heart, none of which AI does. I wish you luck in your writing endeavors.

I find it hard to form plots. I get too focused on characters and lore.

The Elements of Style is my favorite book. I love the part about omitting needless words.

If the death would serve the plot, it would technically be okay. But I don’t want to kill any of mine unless absolutely necessary.

Sometimes cheesiness can add to the humor. If you’d like, I would suggest leaning into it. But even I, as a younger person, struggle to grasp the meanings of my generation’s slang. It’s an enigma. I swear.

I hate when that happens. It’s like the words just won’t come out. I wish you luck next time.

People should stop trying to figure out where autism came from and start trying to effectively help the people that have it. And I say that as an autistic person.

I edit on my phone too. I wish you luck. How is the manuscript going?

I think we all do. It’s part of the writer’s experience. I’ve found that it’s best to just write it anyway. Then when it’s finished, decide whether it should be published from there. I hope to be braver in what I write.

Hey, aspiring indie authors. Have any questions about self-publishing? Feel free to drop them in the comments below. As a self-published author of four books, I’d be happy to help. #writers #writing #indiepublishing #selfpublishing #indieauthors

That is an amazing story premise. It sounds very thoughtful and unconventional. The idea of diving in a lake representing self-discovery is brilliant. I wish you well in your writing process.

The Elements of Style, preferably the original version. It’s my favorite book. I love the “Omit Needless Words” section.

Sometimes you have to write for yourself. Not everything is meant to be published. Remember that you’re improving with every word.
