Re-reading a scene thinking 'this is gonna hurt us both but it's time.' Shit. Be ready to sacrifice everything you think your story is, for everything it could become #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #WIP #AuthorLife #WriterProblems #WritingMotivation #WriteLife #booksky

Got my hands on the English version of "Destiny" by @martachowanska.bsky.social. It's an authentic dive into fate, choice, and how lives connect across time/ culture. Beautiful exploration of relationships and resilience. Can't wait to see what you do next! #WritingCommunity #DebutNovel #BookRec

Headed to Asheville and looking for local writer hangouts, bookstores, and maybe some writing buddies to explore the city with #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #avlwriters #ncwriters #AshevilleNC

1st writers conference, 3/1 in Charleston. Practicing elevator pitches for agents. Any veteran tips for these things? What to bring? What to say? How to be cool? #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WriterLife #PitchTips #QueryTip #WritingConference #amquerying #booksky

Plot problems / writers block 🤝 Running solving them when I can't write them down Why does it hit when I’m away from a pen? #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #WritingTips #WIP #WriterProblems #WritingJourney #booksky

Oh yeah, it's all comin' together #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #WritingTips #WIP #WriterProblems #WritingJourney #booksky

Today's goal: 1000 words Today’s achievement: Hours spent looking up names #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritersLife #WritingTips #WIP #WriterProblems #WritingJourney

If you write, read, or just really like sushi, let’s be friends 📚🍣 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritingTips #WritingJourney #NewManuscript #WritersLife

80/20 rule of writing: 20% making outlines, 80% redoing those outlines because apparently I enjoy pain #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritingTips #WritingJourney #NewManuscript #WritersLife

Going through my manuscript like CSI, evidence suggests my characters blink and shrug way more than medically advisable #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WritingTips #WritingJourney #NewManuscript #WritersLife

I always stress about dialogue. Along with a thesaurus, I keep an open copy of “The Island of Dr Moreau” open bc sometimes a grunt says it all #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Spent an hour researching ancient Roman military punishments just to write 'the centurion frowned.' Sometimes writing historical fiction is simply making sure you know exactly how wrong you could be #AmWriting #HistoricalFiction #WritingCommunity

2025 writing challenge: naming characters. Current strategy: stare at Wikipedia's list of Roman names until one feels right. So far my centurion has had 6 different names. What's your character naming process? Wrong answers encouraged #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

A new adventure! I've just started my latest manuscript and I'm taking you all along. Expect updates, snippets, and the ups/ downs of writing. Let's see where this story takes us! #AmWriting #WritingJourney #NewManuscript #WritingTips #WritingCommunity
