What does a writer do when she’s finished with the first draft and supposed to set her story aside? Celebrate! (and let the voices of her characters continue their conversations in her head.) #Writers #Readers #Authors #booksky

At nearly 55k words, and only have about a chapter and a half left to write!!!! I've written about 15,000 words since August 9th and have over a week to finish my story. I'll be done, and I'm excited, and a little sad.... #Writers #Authors #Readers #booksky

Reached 50k words yesterday! I'm battling intense sorrow as I near the end of this story. I'm thinking there are about two more chapters left, which will make it around 55k words total. I know I'll finish before my deadline! #Writers #Authors #readers #booksky

Ah, nothing better than an unexpected thunderstorm and 65 F in Tx during July, no less! Wrote exciting, emotional scenes in my MG England mystery-fitting the outside mood! Anyone else have a great writing day? #BookSky📚⚡💙 #Writers #Authors Photo by Abhishek Tewari on Unsplash

Line Editing: Problem #1: Continuity Errors (aka Minor Plot holes) Problem #2: Passive Voice (and shallow POV) Problem #3: Character Voice (keep it consistent) Problem #4: Weak Words Problem #5: Spelling and Grammar Final Pass Edit (Who else is in the middle of line editing?) #BookSky 💙⚡📚

Sometimes I have so many ideas-- that there are too many plot twists in my story! The only thing to do is save them for another book. Another other writers with this "problem"? 😀 #BookSky 💙⚡📚 #Writers #Authors #MysteryWriters

Do you enjoy writing the opening scene of a new novel or short story or do you loath it? I really love this part and relish the chance to make readers get hooked on the first few sentences. #BookSky 💙📚⚡ #Writers #Authors

A writer's life is busy; especially when you're also a homesteader! But in this life, my writer's brain is always ready to take in details! The rustle as the corn stalks wave in the wind, the feel of cool earth when hoeing the garden, and the crisp taste of a fresh cucumber. #Booksky 📚💙⚡

Once you answer these questions, your story will have have the structure it needs to be someone's favorite book. Go for it!

When you come up with a new story idea, figure out the three acts of your story: The Why (theme) The Who (characters) The What (plot) Once you know this, writing your story will come much easier! Give it a try! #BookSky📚⚡💙 #WritingCommunity #Authors #Writers

When you're struggling with writing, take a break and go outside to clear your mind. My family visited Eisenhower State Park in Denison, Texas, and it was a fantastic experience. My ideas flowed easily, and I took great photos. #Writers #WritingCommunity #Authors #BookSky 📚⚡💙

Lovely spring weather on our farm in Texas. As a writer, my mind is full of ideas and descriptions of the blooming landscape. Lambs and calves are being born, our geese are laying their nests, spring birds are appearing, and flowers are opening. #WritingCommunity #Authors #Writers #BookSky 📚⚡💙

Here in Texas, we're having a rather warm winter so far. I'm still hoping for some snow! (Still, it can be hard to write about sweltering heat when your hands are numb from the cold!) so who wants winter and who wants spring? #Writers #AmWriting #Authors

Your characters are more than names on paper. Create a brief profile: name, age, hair color, build, personality, motivations. This builds emotional depth and consistency, helping readers connect. Knowing their traits and drives strengthens your story and perspective. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

One of our four male kittens on the farm. This one's name is Professor Digory Kirke. (We'll just call him Kirke) Anyone know who he's named for? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #Writers

To be fair the article also mentions non-horse athletes who also had amazing games but with higher stakes (in the championships of their respective sports) But it concludes with the horse

End of the above linked USA today article. It reads: The greatest performance ever.
The athlete who turned in the greatest performance ever was unable to explain the feat.
That's because it was a horse.
At the 1973 Belmont States, Secretariat won by an astounding 31 lengths and became a Triple Crown winner in front of a crowd of 69,138.
The 31-length victory remains the largest in Triple Crown history.

This photo is a horse perfectly matching the horse, Moon Racer, in my manuscript, The Mystery in Lakeview. #horses #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #MGLit
