The thing about nazis is that every iteration of them will be dumber and more evil than the last, because thats what you have to be to see the last version of them and go "oh yeah thats so cool"

I am rewriting a scene today, and it's easy to approach this by just saying to yourself "This is bad, fix it" but you can make it a lot easier on yourself by making a little list of what you did and didn't like, and using that for a mini outline. #writingcommunity #writertips #iamwriting

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

I talk about various ups and downs of writing a lot. Some days are a transcendent breakthrough, other days are pure despair. Today is just putting one foot in front of the other, doing the work, and those days are also good and important. #writingcommunity #iamwriting #sometimesitsjustOK

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

Me: I don't wanna write this part, it's necessary to the story, but it's SO boring. 😭 My brain: OK, buddy, you don't have to, but.... What if we made it totally batshit unhinged? Just go bonkers? Would that help? Me, wiping snot on a sleeve: Yeah... OK. #writesky #writingcommunity #iamwriting

Editing is like cleaning the house. Some days you empty an entire closet and have to re-organize everything. Others, you just kind of putter around and do a bit of picking up here and there. Both of them are necessary. Not every day is a clean out the closet day. #writingcommunity #writingadvice

Didn't quite accomplish all I wanted today, but sometimes you look at your last two paragraphs, realize they are mooshy garbage, and have to pack it in. When this happens, it's easy to feel like defeat, but try to look at all the good stuff you managed. #writerlife #writingcommunity

It's so weird, being a #writer. You have all of these worlds and people inside of you, and sometimes you have to painfully dredge everything out of yourself, and sometimes, it's sufficient to merely step aside and let the character have their say. #writingcommunity #iamwriting #writingismagic

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

Ah, yes, the unstuckening. I knew you would come. I made my non wordcount goal again, and finished the passage I was working on. What sweet relief. Blocks are temporary, words in your draft are forever (until the next round of editing, anyways.) #writingcommunity #IamWriting #writingwins

There are so many "how's" to figure out when you're writing. People get stuck on the what, but it's the how that kills me some days. I can see on my outline that "She enters the room", but does she stride, mince, limp, crawl, dance? If Dancing, tango? Salsa? Breakdance? ARRGH. #writerproblems

A thing I struggle with sometimes: Doing research, making notes, and doodling in a notebook while you work on a plot point, are all productive actually. You can't write when you don't know what you're writing, and you're not goofing off. #writesky #writingadvice #WritingCommunity

I like to go on reddit and answer #writing questions. It's not that I think I'm some big shot writing guru or something, but I've found that answering those questions helps me rethink the way I'm looking at stuff. Figuring out how to put words to my own knee jerk reactions is enlightening.
