Gaze inward. Find your beacons of light. What can you learn from them (e.g. the days when your dialogue really worked this week) ? #writingcommunity #selfcare #booksky

Talk to someone completely outside your art form. The more, different eyes that do not share your mental frame can spot options we are are blind to. #writingcommunity #selfcare #booksky

Learning to laugh at yourself breaks the chains of self importance and dogmatic thinking. To see your process as a creative dance rather than a solemn and pre written script. #booksky #selfcare #writingcommunity

Instead of picking option A or option B try to develop three ideas simultaneously. If you only have one alternative you are setting yourself up for a forced compromise. #writingcommunity #selfcare #booksky

When making decisions, ask yourself: "If none of the current choices on my table were available tomorrow, what else would I do?" This forces your brain to invent new paths. #writingcommunity #selfcare #booksky

W.J. Theron @machiaduck.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Carry yourself high on your own legs and learn how to laugh, rather than bowing down to old ways of doing things or looking for a savior. Walking a path that is uniquely yours, even if it separates you from the crowd. #writingcommunity #selfcare #booksky

Benefit Approach. You’re justified in using something (a character, plot etc) if you can identify any possible benefit to its use, or anything you might possibly miss out on if you don’t use it. #booksky #selfcare #writingcommunity

When you have an issue in your writing, simply ask a series of “Why?” questions five times in a row. Even ones might seem silly can move you toward some of your most meaningful work. #booksky #selfcare #writingcommunity

This is who Dolly Parton was. ❤️ “My dad couldn’t read and write, so I wanted to do something to make him feel part of something special.” So she did. Dolly turned her love for her dad into the Imagination Library, putting more than 330 MILLION books into the hands of children.

Now accusations of folks high up in HWA verbally abusing staff and laughing that if anyone self harmed because of it they'd learn a lesson. Everyone who heard that said at a meeting is complicit. Disgusting.
