It's a yearning that few know & that even fewer take advantage of...it's a like standing at the edge of a diving board, staring at the cool water below...that deep breath you take just before the plunge. #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga Coming soon: #15thKingdom

Some people have such a profound reaction to the world around them...it's like a deep emotional connection…almost spiritual. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga: #FoxFire, #MidnightPrincess, & #FieryWitch Coming soon: #15thKingdom

Writing is a special kind of madness...it's an insanity that is a response to the insane world around us...it takes perseverance, bravery, and honesty to do it at all...let alone to do it well. #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga Coming soon: #15thKingdom

...and the world can’t seem to resist adding more weight for it to carry. It tries to drag me down...so low. Writing helps unburden my heart; through fantasy worlds, I can safely analyze the real world & give my heart some peace #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy Coming soon #15thKingdom

I feel as if I’ve done this my entire life...even before I realized I was creating worlds...there, I fly, sword in hand, diving into adventure, fighting monsters, saving lives, righting wrongs...here, I just don’t know anymore. #amwritingfantasy Coming soon: #15thKingdom

I don’t have that problem...I have the opposite problem...that little voice in my head chanting “Keep writing because you don’t have time. You will never have enough time!” #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga Coming soon: #15thKingdom

Sometimes the things that aren't said are the most honest moments you will have. Quiet moments of strength... of desperation... of painful sadness... how your characters react to these without spoken words, shows more than their words ever could. #amwritingfantasy Coming soon: #15thKingdom

We find ways to fight those monsters every day, taking solace in tiny victories...the small victory of getting out of bed, moving on, making it through another day, getting up & doing it all over again...making progress #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft #OlympusAwakening #TheClaimedSaga soon: #15thKingdom

Sad, but true. The real issue comes from the fact that most people are broken in some way and can't always see the fractures. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft #OlympusAwakening #TheClaimedSaga: #FoxFire, #MidnightPrincess, & #FieryWitch Coming soon: #15thKingdom

They’re the scariest because we can’t run or hide from them. The only way to defeat them is to face them. That’s why I write. #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga: #FoxFire, #MidnightPrincess, & #FieryWitch Coming soon: #15thKingdom

What if the person you love was the villain of the story? What if you discovered your best friend had a pet dragon?

Writers don’t just pay attention…they examine, report, & explain the world…they are searching for a truth that is denied far too many. #amwritingfantasy #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga: #FoxFire, #MidnightPrincess, & #FieryWitch Coming soon: #15thKingdom

The 1st time, you tell the story to yourself; the 2nd time you begin hacking away, getting it into a familiar shape; it doesn’t start to take its true form until the 3rd pass. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #15thKingdom, #Ashcroft, #OlympusAwakening, & #TheClaimedSaga
