Everything sounds so brilliant in my head until I type it out and read it out loud from my monitor. Then I'm like, yea, no. #writing #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writerproblems


Write drunk, edit sober. Or so the legend goes. Worth the gamble?


Researching and writing horror probably shouldn't occur in the dark of night. Or it should. Unless you're like me and you have a knack for giving yourself nightmares. Now... excuse me while I turn on every single light in the house. #horror #WritingCommunity #writerslife


Writing is such a weird endeavor. It's like today I'm either going ROCK this prose or I'm going to write what I think is suckiest thing ever written. #WritingCommunity #writing


The vast majority of writers have not finished their first novel. Out of that small group, an even smaller percentage actually put out their manuscripts into the world. And of THAT small number, an even smaller number keep writing. Keep writing. #writing #WritingCommunity


Serious question. Have you ever switched genres? Multiple genres at the same time? Is it doable? Is it the road to burnout? Having a genre existential crisis. #WritingCommunity


“It’s better to finish an imperfect idea, than to endlessly try to perfect an unfinished one.” #WritingCommunity #writersblock #writing #easiersaidthandone


Ever had one of those days where you thought you were being SO productive but then you look at the clock and it’s been a whole hour and you’ve only written like two paragraphs? Yea, that’s today. Whatever, I’ll take it. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #amwriting


You know when people say someone has “ice water in their veins?” I think I may have the opposite of that. #naturallycaffeinated


Just spent a lot of time googling “poisons that don’t show up in forensics” and I’m pretty sure I’m on a list now. #WritingCommunity #writerslife #amwritingfiction


Writers can probably get away with a lot of things by saying “It’s for a book I’m writing.” #WritingCommnunity #writerslife


How long is an acceptable amount of time to putz around in the morning before actually changing out of pajamas to get work done? Or is the pajama thing mandatory? #WritingCommunity


What’s the first step to becoming NOT a perfectionist? Because it’s paralyzing and I’m done with it now. Is there a reset to factory settings button? 😩 #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writerslife


I need to start “protecting” my writing time or this WIP will never get done! Chores can be rescheduled, brunches can be pushed, dishes can be left for a few hours. Easier said than done! #writerslife #WritingCommunity

The amount of times people ask me what I write and I say “horror” and they say “WHORES?!” is frankly appalling and unconscionable


How exactly does one avoid falling into rabbit holes of writing research? I researched “immortal jellyfish” and somehow now I’m learning about how every crustacean eventually turns into a crab. #WritingCommunity #Writer


Which is true?? The surefire way to kill a passion is make it into a job. OR is it if you do what you love, you never have to work a day in your life?! Can someone solve my existential crisis? Thanks. #Writer #WritingCommunity #dayjob


What’s the solution to writer’s block? Just write crap until something good comes out? Cause that’s where I’m at, and so far nothing good has come out. 😩 #WritingCommunity #writerlife #amwritingfiction

AHHH I might be crazy, but I quit my day job! I'm officially a full-time writer!! I'm still querying my YA fantasy, and have plans to self-publish my adult PNR/fantasy later this year. Wish me luck! 😀🤞😱😬😍#WritingCommunity #amquerying #selfpublishing #possiblycrazypossiblynot


#writers who write full-time, how long did it take you? And also like, how? Having one of those days. 😞 #WritingCommunity
