Writers do you ever/still write by hand in a notebook? I'm always scrawling something...lists, appointments, ideas, frustrations, questions to myself. For me, it makes the intangible, tangible.

Just saw an ad promoting "notebooks for women" and became infuriated. But then I realized those must be some kick-ass notebooks. #writing #women

Excited to write for Career Authors. So many good ideas and tips there if you are looking for inspiration and insight to fuel your writing.

Sob Story. Don’t describe your character as empathetic. Show them sitting in the park to talk to a homeless person, or crying over a baby, or sending an anonymous check to a friend in hard times. Fict. or NFict. Doesn't matter. I want to see what your people do when they feel. #writing #author

Don't feel like writing. That's okay. Happens to all of us one time or another. Just remember: do it anyhow. #writing

You can learn to write. But it's not enough. Skill is not enough to help you with rejection, imposter syndrome, procrastination. Skill is not enough get you to the end. That requires more. That "more" is mindset. It's what I write about, what I'm working on. #writing #authors

Good reminder for me today that the only way I can stand for others is to first take care of myself. To be healthy, present, responsive, resilient. Then I have more energy to stand for what I believe and maybe can even model the possibilities that we all deserve, the things worth working for.

We have a great example of how NOT to be a strong leader in the world. While there are regular demonstrations of fear, egocentricity, small-mindedness, intolerance, and vengefulness we can decide to lead with compassion collaboration, tolerance, empathy.

Happy to see our Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov doing the work today of holding RFK Jr accountable for previous statements.

What ideas about ourselves do we inherit, perhaps unknowingly? How this relates to #memoir by @marionroachsmith marionroach.com/2025/01/how-... #writingcommunity #authorcommunity #cnf #publishing #skywriters

Ever changed significant aspects of a character halfway through the book? Toying with the idea...of course it will change everything else. But interesting to think about. #writing

I love this formal penmanship but can't read it any better than my own handwriting. #writing

So yeah. Got a fan letter today. Not to brag or anything, but it starts: "Hi great writer, I've been impressed by your writing on [specific topic] ..." 😁

Coffee. Morning pages with oen on paper. Grounding. #writing

Did you write through the holidays or take time to regroup and reboot? I did a little bit of both, but instead of running through multiple projects, I focused on one. Just one. That alone was refreshing. #amwriting #author #writing

The first goal shouldn't be to become a bestselling writer, quit your day job, or get a two-book deal. The first goal must be to finish. We have nothing if we don't finish the writing. #WritingCommunity #writing

Hey I know the world is a shit show, but today (and many days), all I can think of is how glad I am to be in it.

This book reminded me why I wanted to be a writer and why we must keep going. That's a big deal. Stories matter and we can get better at them. Thanks @charliejane.bsky.social

Pulled out some holiday decor--ok wine glasses--today, safely wrapped in newspaper from 2011.

I was going to take a pic of my breakfast because I see others do that sort of thing...but I ate the pumpkin pie too fast. Yum.

I bought a pie because they make them better than I can. But my mashed potatoes now they are on point. 😀 Happy Thanksgiving.

The editors and copy editors I have worked over the years have made my work so much better. Saved me from myself a few times. 😀

I've got a revision to do before I start peeling potatoes. Focus, writer. Focus.
