Sometimes I’ll rewrite a paragraph, feel good about it, then check an older draft and realize I already wrote a cleaner version weeks ago. It feels like I'm arguing with past versions of myself, and none of us actually knows what we want. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Nothing slows me down like realizing a character’s reaction doesn’t match who they are. It’s frustrating, but reshaping the scene until it feels true is the part that makes the work feel worth it. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Today I wrote some dialogue that sounded perfect in my head, then I read it back and realized every character talks like they’re auditioning for the same role. Zero personality. If I were in it, I'd discreetly take out my phone and begin scrolling. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

There’s a moment in writing when everything around me goes quiet, and I finally hear my own thoughts clearly. It doesn’t happen every day, but when it does, I feel peace, like I’ve found a small piece of myself again. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Often I'll be deep into a scene and hit a single transition sentence I can’t get past. Not a plot issue, not a character issue... just the bridge between two moments. It’s frustrating how one innocuous line can ruin the entire rhythm of the page. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Sometimes I’ll sit down to write, and my brain takes a full five minutes to boot up, like an old computer deciding whether it feels like cooperating. But once the words start flowing, it reminds me why I keep coming back. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Tonight I was struggling to outline a plot twist when one of my kids walked in, glanced at my notes, and asked, “Why don’t they just run away?” Honestly, it fixed the scene. I was outwritten by a child. Life is ever humbling. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

The alarm bells are ringing over the existential threat being posed by AI. We are at the tipping point. Either we step up and insist on regulatory oversight or we let the tech bros gamble with the future of humanity. My latest: charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-alarm-...

THE ALARM BELLS ARE RINGING

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt.

There’s something comforting about returning to a story after being gone for a few days. Even when life feels overwhelming, those characters feel steady, like old friends waiting for me to visit. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Half the time when I try to write a heartbreaking scene, I end up sounding like I'm drafting a tax form, and the other half a soap opera. Nothing exposes my limits faster than trying to write realistic emotion. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Spent twenty minutes today hunting for the perfect metaphor for one stubborn sentence. Completely unnecessary. Absolutely worth it. Sometimes the tiny obsessions are the best part of writing. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I’ll hype myself up all day to write… then finally sit down, open the document, and immediately decide I need a snack, a drink, a walk, and maybe a nap. Staying focused is truly my writing nemesis. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I love when I’m writing and stumble across a detail or idea that instantly makes the whole story feel richer. It’s like finding a little treasure I didn’t know I buried. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been halfway through a chapter or a scene and suddenly wondered if the story even works. The doubt is always there, waiting to use a poorly crafted paragraph to wriggle into my heart. Does imposter syndrome ever go away? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

Tyler Bourassa @tbourassa.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

I didn’t expect to care this much about the characters I create, but some of them feel like old friends now. Finishing their story always leaves me with this quiet ache, like I’m saying goodbye to someone I’m not ready to lose. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

There’s a special joy in creating something that didn’t exist an hour ago. It could be a scene, a character, or even a single line. It’s a reminder that creativity doesn’t have to be huge to matter. What small thing have you created recently that made you smile? #WritingCommunity #amwriting

I don’t understand how a scene can be crystal clear in my head and then turn into nonsense the moment I try to write it. Some days the gap between imagination and execution feels impossible, and other days everything just falls into place. #WritingCommunity #amwriting
