#writingtips Be patient with yourself. Not every story is a masterpiece, even when a master #writes it. Write, edit, & put it out there! #writingcommunity

I do not restrict what I'm watching and reading for my WIPs, except that I watch less TV overall to have more time. When revising, I'll seek out novels in the same genre to hone my knowledge of terminology and tropes. #writerscoffeeclub #writingcommunity

#WritingCommunity: anybody know of any organized summer writing challenges or groups? I used to do Camp NaNo back in the day and always loved the collective effort while pursuing own goals and milestones. #amwritingfantasy #romancewriter

I’m reading Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeline L’Engle. These two paragraphs keep echoing in my mind. #writing #teaching #justice #art

Day 10 of #FantasyIndiesJune In ancient Greece, curses were deadly serious business. So, in my Oracle of Delphi series WIP, if the Pythia found out she had been cursed, she'd probably counteract the curse, then fling it right back at the person. (Or maybe even call on Apollo.) #WritingCommunity

🧹#WritingLifeMonthly June Day 11✏️ You don’t need “he said” after every line. Use action beats or unique voices to show who’s speaking. Example: ❌ “I’m not going,” she said. ✅ “I’m not going.” She crossed her arms. ← More visual + still clear. What are yours? #WritingTips #WritingCommunity

#JuneWorldbuilders 8 In Atalantis, casual clothes for girls/women involve an uubit (layered skirt with beads woven in the hem) & a ka'am, a wraparound top clasped at the shoulder. For boys/men, they usually go topless with a to'ok, a skirt similar to an ancient Egyptian shendyt. #writingcommunity

Drowning dredged up the most random regrets. You would think I'd regret leaping in front of the seal, using my body as a shield... "Below Selkie Island" by @Mrsmica dives deep in search of food in a starving world. #horroranthologies #horrorbooks amzn.to/4jKGPGq

As much as I love to #write #werewolves and things that suck blood, I would go the #paranormal route. Hoping I can help people cross over, or haunt #serialkillers or smthng 😇 #horrorgames

latest read: What Feasts At Night - T. Kingfisher. I liked this much more than What Moves the Dead. Straightforward folk horror, satisfying! #reading #bookblog #booksky #horror #horrorbooks

🧹#WritingLifeMonthly June Day 06✏️ A sentence doing too much often does too little. Try: ❌ She ran through the forest while thinking about her past and also trying to find her brother. ✅ She ran through the forest, her past clawing at her thoughts. Her brother was out there—somewhere. #WritingTips
