The funnest part about writing a first draft is reading it later and trying to figure out what you were possibly thinking #writing

I have a juiced up high energy brain used for plotting and outlining, and I have a molasses flowing steady stroll brain used for writing and editing. They don’t get along. #writing

Let a wild goose roam through your house. Observe its patterns. Feel the flow of meaning in the chaos. Then, after realizing that the goose is a metaphor for your own subconscious chasing errands to avoid writing, get back to your work. #writing

I’d get more writing done today, but I’ve been winging it for like three weeks in this Starfinder campaign and it’s high time I read the rule book #writing

If you’re completely stuck, try writing long strings of random words. You can come back later and put them in their proper order. #writing

Option 1: Be a conscientious writer that meets readers’ expectations with thoughtful storytelling Option 2: Continue on whatever future train wreck you’re riding and throw your readers into a rage [RECOMMENDED] #writing

It’s pretty disappointing to see such well-crafted characters behave so uncooperatively when I try to write my scenes #writing

The way I see it, the only thing you really need to get started is the capacity to put a word on the page. The ideas can come later. #writing

Pro tip for occult writers: keep a rune-inscribed knife on your desktop ready for use in case the fiction in your manuscript begins altering reality. Stab hard. The pages are thick. #writing

There’s a game you can play where you conceive a brilliant plot, overcomplicate it with unnecessary trappings, press it into the irregular shape of whatever is trending lately, then set it on fire in your bathtub. #writing

No matter how complex the story, a novel has only one main plot within its pages. I think many of us quietly crave such a simplified lense on life. #writing

Say the right words and an interdimensional window opens to a vibrant spring of inspiration. The wrong words unzip a portal to the infinite abyss. Be careful with your writing spells. #writing
