Writers are like a protag who resists the plot hook. We are tired, we don’t have the motivation most of the time, and we certainly don’t have the time. However, we have to write because otherwise our lives go into utter disrepair. #Writing #WritingHumor #Humor #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Funny

My original characters are my sweet, precious little babies. Unfortunately, generational trauma runs strong in my family. These babies all are very mentally ill oops. #Writing #Funny #WritingHumor #Humor #OriginalCharacter #GenerationalTrauma #MentalHealth #Author #Writer #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I used to be so mad when someone asked me what the theme of a book was in English Classes because I was like, “it’s because the writer wanted to.” Now, writing, having that theme to cling to is like a lifeline during most chapters. #WriteSky #Writers #Authors #WritingCommunity #Theme #EnglishMajor

Thoughts of a line editor: for the love of God, use the tab button to start a paragraph and use ctrl + enter to start a new page. PLEASE. This manuscript is making me delete 5 space bars at every. Single. Paragraph. #Writing #LineEditing #CopyEditing #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Editorial #Authors

I just can’t imagine that there are authors that don’t have some manner of mental illness. Not because art and mental illness often go together, but because only someone with serious ailments would subject themselves to this level of hyperfixation #Writing #Author #MentalIllness #Art #Writer #Book

Growing is always uncomfortable. It can be very hard to finish a story when you are learning while writing. I must remind myself that I just need to make the manuscript first. I can make it good later. #Writing #WritingCommunity #Writers #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingAdvice #Growth #Authors #Fiction

I realized the reason I was struggling so much with this one scene was because it had a narrative reason but no purpose to it. If a scene isn’t coming to you, try asking yourself why it’s relevant to your characters! #Writing #WritingAdvice #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #Writer #Author #Books

There exists a very old, hand-drawn manga that I drew when I was about 10 years old. It is horrifically poorly drawn but my sisters will not let me throw it away. Apparently it’s good for my ego to see how far I’ve come. Frequently. #Writing #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Manga #Funny #WritingHumor

I don’t know if Lin-Manuel Miranda knew what he was doing to me when he wrote Hamilton and thrust me knee-deep into a lifelong fascination with the period of time between 1700 and 1900. #Writing #Hamilton #History #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #Musicals #Funny #WritingHumor #LinManuelMiranda

With #PrideMonth here, I think it’s now a good time to talk about just how important LGBTQ+ fiction is. I think it’s so important that LGBTQ readers find characters who they truly identify with, but it’s important for allies to sympathize with people they differ from. #LGBTQFiction #Books #Reading

Sometimes, I’ll fact check a major plot point in my current WIP, panicking because I think I misunderstood a dumb, 19th century inheritance law. But I didn’t! I got it right! It’s like acing a test I didn’t deserve to ace!! #Writing #WriteSky #BookSky #WIP #HistoricalFiction #VictorianEra #Author

I wanted to give one of my characters a motorcycle to up the ‘cool, independent’ vibe he had going. Only, it’s a story set in 1858. So, he now has a horse. Because horses are Victorian motorcycles, apparently. #Horse #VictorianEra #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #HistoricalFiction #Humor #Funny

I have only ever gotten one failing grade on an assignment. It was my final essay in my final semester of college. I’d just gotten out of surgery and submitted it with the confidence of someone on heavy medication. I still passed the class, it’s fine. #College #Writing #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Why does “giggle” feel exclusive for children and women but I feel like “chuckle” is masculine.

Recently remembered that Nonfiction exists and that people have written books that compile hours of research in a digestible format. Which is probably the most “I was born with the Internet” thing I’ve ever said. #Nonfiction #Reading #Books #Research #Writing #WriteSky #BookSky #WritingCommunity

It’s so hard to prove that you’ve edited books when they’re not published yet because you’ll be applying for jobs and they’ll ask for you to show proof of your work. Only, you can’t because you’re under contract. So you’re just like ‘Just wait and see ;)’ #Editing #Jobs #Publishing #WriteSky #Write

I wish that the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had been told from Jekyll’s point of view rather than Utterson’s. After reading it, I was struck with that feeling of ‘this was good for what it could have been.’ #CurrentlyReading #Editing #BookSky #WriteSky #Literature #Gothic #Horror #Books

My motivation to eat healthy and exercise isn’t always actually taking care of myself. More often than not, the motivation is cosplay.

I used to try and resist what comes naturally to my writing, fearing judgement. I have learned that, through writing what I am passionate about, I get stuff done. This is your sign to add that thing to your WIP. You know what that thing is to you. #WritingCommunity #WIP #WriteSky #BookSky #Write
