Unhinged #writing tip of the day: There are no ideas so stupid that a good storyteller can’t make work.

Switching from line/copy-editing to proofreading? Easy. Switching from proofreading to line/copy-editing? 👀😬 Now I know I’ll definitely need a longer break between those two. #amediting #edibuddies #writingcommunity

I love when people share the things they’re genuinely excited about. I’d love to do that too, but I struggle to open up. My hobbies – gaming and music – feel deeply personal.

I use my private Discord server to jot down ideas for content marketing and my WIPs, but I’m wary of the invisible bots on servers. What do you use for writing on your phone? I don’t like Keep Notes, and I’ve heard Google Docs can delete progress. 🤔 #writingcommunity #writersky #amwriting

Okay, I don’t know if this is weird, but my writing playlist only has sad music. In fact, that’s even the name of the playlist. I don’t know, sad music just inspires me the most. 😂😭 What’s on your writing playlist? #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersky

Authors! 💜 What writing tips would you like to see from a romance editor? I have a few ideas, but I’d love to know what you’d find most useful. Plotting? Pacing? Character development? Romance arcs? Chemistry? Dialogue? Spice? What are you struggling with? #amwriting #amediting #writersky #writing

The best feeling as an editor is an author telling you that your suggestions saved them from a writing slump. Authors who appreciate their editors deserve a cookie. #Writing #Editing #Authors #Books #EditingCommunity #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #Writers #Editors #Publishing #WIP #Write

Facebook groups can be frustrating sometimes. Posts from other editors are being accepted, while mine are being declined. Today, my marketing post about my beta reading service, which had been approved in the past(!), was declined. Even though it’s not worth stressing about, it’s still draining.

I am now doing a promo. Pre-order The Hocus Pocus Handbook if you love my books and/or if you want me to write more of them. bookshop.org/p/books/the-... Please share & tell people about the book, coming Sept 1.

This is a graphic that shows the cover art for The Hocus Pocus Handbook, which is really beautiful i hues of twilight, purples and blues and pinks. It features a faery castle and a mushroom house and glowing golden pixies and a ship in a bottle. All of these things are important to the story.

The background is a peachy pink. It also lists my facebook handle, which is ann.aguirre & my instagram handle, which is ann_aguirre_author.

The cover art is framed by pink and purple flowers with green leaves. Text at the bottom reads:

cozy fae romantasy featuring a sunshine-shadow slow burn

slow burn is in bold

Absolute writing rules can do more harm than good. You don’t have to delete *every* filter word, or *every* adverb, or even *every* that. These words can have a purpose. They can shape voice, establish mood, clarify meaning, and influence pacing. Don’t cut them by default. #amediting #amwriting

You might be wondering how you can support an author when you're short of time, money, energy, etc. But honestly, making your own post about a book helps us! The more people who are talking about a book? Well, that's how buzz begins. You can do that on whatever sites you use.

Hive Mind! I am looking for a Deaf or Partially Deaf artist/graphic designer who signs (I'm not overly bothered whether that's BSL, ASL, or what) who might *potentially* be interested in doing some SFF book covers for pay. These are fact-finding enquiries for me at present, not immediate contract.

I finally treated myself to some new headphones (not these ones – I’m not very good at taking aesthetic pictures, so this is a stock photo) so I can listen to audiobooks while out on walks. 😊 Now the question: do you count audiobooks towards your reading goal or not? (I do!) #audiobooks 📚💙

Editor confession time 🙂 The thought of having your manuscript professionally edited can be daunting and nerve-wracking (I know this from experience!) But I wanted to let you know (in case it helps) that editors get nervous too 🙂

What writers can learn from Station Eleven: Sci-fi does not need constant spectacle to feel large. The novel uses collapse to explore memory, art, survival, and meaning. The world feels bigger because the story keeps asking what people carry forward after everything changes. #writing #amediting

Real talk preorders are lower than I'd hoped & I'd be lying if I said it wasn't getting to me 😭 If a romance about a depressed, nerdy Black woman & a reclusive British rockstar sounds like your thing, I'd be incredibly grateful for a preorder or share #romancebook #booksky amazon.com/dp/B0…
