I'm a #fool for thinking I can do it. Or am I crazy for thinking I can't? Those are my thoughts every morning before getting coffee. They say it's easy but no. Have you ever tried grabbing someone's coffee and running? Sure, some let me go but others chase me. Don't get me started on cars. #vss365

He loved watching the sun come up. The way the water would #glisten beneath the sky, the waves lapping gently. It was so beautiful. So pure. A lovely way to start the day before heading to the office to drone on for hours and hours. But at least each morning he had these few minutes. #vss365 #prompt

The #tranquility eluded me. No matter what I tried, I couldn't relax. No amount of meditation, quiet time, or hobbies could do the trick. I had no idea why my high stress job and skydiving hobby wasn't bringing the calm that I sought. Even the red bull energy drink did nothing. A mystery. #vss365

Im working on a short horror story inspired by monopoly. It's not fanfic, just inspired by. Currently 4k words in out of a 6k target. It takes itself entirely seriously. #writingcommunity #amwritimg #horror

Just tried submitting a short story for the first time. It's certainly going to be rejected but its an interesting feeling, particularly that no matter what I do, it will never be good enough in my mind. I'm sure the rejection will sting but it helps that this isn't my career lol #writingcommunity

Even if I never submit or get accepted, I'm finding the submissions listed on horror tree to be so fun to follow. 3 of the 4 short stories I've written the last 6 days have been in response to their prompts. Guess now I have to write a horror story based on a table top game... #writingcommunity

One reason I was reluctant to get into writing short stories is I was afraid I'd run out of ideas too quickly. I've now written three in the last two weeks in order to delay finishing my novel and not running out of ideas yet. We'll see if that lasts. #writingcommunity #shortstory #wip #fiction

After writing 1500 words of aftermath from my novels big showdown, I then finished a 5k word horror short story that I may actually think is good enough to submit somewhere. Telling myself to remember I'm a pilot, not a writer, still a nice thought #writingcommunity #horror #shortstory #amwriting

Hi, I'm Ray, I write crime thrillers and horror (as an amateur). I'll be spending January focusing on short stories, largely of the horror variety and occasionally different genres, trying to hone my skills and editing the two novels I wrote into something remotely readable. #startingoffwrite

Finally finished the big showdown in my WIP that had been stumping me for days. 144636 words. Which now means I have to end the novel in two to three chapters 🙃 #writingcommunity #amwriting #wip #fiction #indieauthor

As the Boeing 737 crossed the #threshold, the pilot reduced the power to idle and let the landing gear make contact with the ground. As they landed and the plane began to slow, he felt the pressure lift. Another safe flight. Another day fighting the inposter syndrome. Another the next day. #vss365

Having gone from writing thousands of words a day to hundreds as I near the end of my WIP, I need to learn how to take my own advice that any amount of writing is the correct amount if its at your own pace #writingcommunity #wip #fiction #amwriting

The campers had no idea the mutated #axolotl was watching them. Fifteen feet long as a result of the pollution, it needed a lot of food. Not all the campers, maybe 4 or 5 of them would be enough. It wasn't an evil creature, just a hungry one. It hadn't asked for the habitat to be destroyed. #vss365

After 141k words in my WIP of writing in third person, I have concluded that I like writing in first person better like my first book, a story of 156k. Not gonna change it at this point, just took a long time to figure that out #writingcommunity #fiction #indieauthor #wip #firstperson #thirdperson

Two Toronto detectives have travelled north to Thunder Bay to investigate a link between corrupt cops and a local charter company. On arrival, they meet with their contact at the local station of the provincial police, due to a mistrust of the municipal force. #writingcommunity #wip #wipsnips

The student thought he could use the new AI model to help with his assignment, but he didn't know it was #overfit with data. Arrogantly, he didn't even look at the paper that was produced before submitting it. For an assignment on the history of Mars, he turned in a paper on Bert and Ernie. #vss365

Got another 1000 words of my horror short story, procrastinating on writing the last chapters of my novel. Sure it's sadness at saying goodbye to the characters and not laziness or writers block... #writingcommunity #horror #shortstory #fiction #wip

No one knew, but there was a #latent flaw in the Boeing planes control system. In an effort to prevent a crash, it would inadvertently cause one by pushing the nose down. Boeing didn't want to tell the pilots. If they did, it would show they were misleading. Nothing would happen. Right? #vss365

Starting to wonder if it's bad that I think the short stories I work on are better than the novel wip (which i still think is good, but maybe bloated) #writingcommunity #fiction #wip #shortstory #horror #horrorstory

I think I've developed the short story bug. After writing my first horror short story yesterday, I started another today even though I still have at least 5 chapters on my other WIP. Gonna have to be careful not to run out of ideas too quickly #writingcommunity #wip #fiction #horror

I don't know if any #horror fans out there are interested, but if you are, I wrote this little aviation horror story and would love to know what people think. #writingcommunity #completed #shortstory #indieauthor #pilot #horrorstory medium.com/@graywhale57...

Well, I finally finished the chapter I'd been struggling with, 100 more words bringing my #WIP to 156K. After that, wrote a 1500 word horror short story called Radial 325 about a pilot trapped in a small plane over a dark bay. Because why not? #writingcommunity #horror #indieauthor #horrorauthor

The main character, Detective Menzies, is calling out his boss on her treatment of one of his subordinates who she suspects is corrupt. While sympathetic to her as a former Professional Standards cop, he dislikes how hard she goes at it without evidence. #wipsnips #wip #writingcommunity #corruption

#vssfantasy And with one #gust of wind, the gas was out. Nothing would stop it. No wall, no respirator, nothing. They had spat on his work, telling him that he was a "genocidal maniac." Well he would show them. He would show all of them. No one called him such nonsense and got away with it.

Another 1600 words tonight of my #WIP including actual foreshadowing for my next one which is a supernatural horror when this one is a grounded crime thriller (set in same universe). It's good I do this for fun and not a career, not sure anyone could take it seriously #writingcommunity #amateur

The #Queen lay dying. No one could believe it. After millenia of her rule, no amount of magic could keep her alive any longer. And now it was time for her son to take over. Everyone knew what that meant. Wars. Revenge. Nothing short of the end of Aveloria as they knew it. #writing #vssfantasy
