So. Much. This! 😂 #amwrit

Saving this chapter edit for tomorrow when my mind is rested and refreshed 🙂 Hoping for a productive writing day tomorrow! #amwrit

Alright, 2000 words yesterday and another 2000 words today. Might pick this back up later tonight, I can't keep going at work. I may make myself cry with this next part. Imagine you lost 2 daughters and then only one comes back and the chances the other one has.... #amwrit

Reread the I guess scene where we learn why my MC refers to her mother by her given name and just like the times I read it before all they way to when I wrote it, I got a little misty eyed. Nothing to you, might mean safety, warmth, and care to another. #amwrit

I wrote 4000 words today, and were just shy of 74k words. It's going well, rewrites will be necessary as well as revisions. There are a lot of moving parts, and stuff to track. Having fun though. #amwrit

One hard thing about thus WIP, like the first book, is abuse is front and center, but from the perspective of someone who doesn't know it's happening but survived it in one part and it's a fine line in places about what we do and don't see #amwrit

The Rule of 3 works because the brain loves patterns. One feels unfinished. Two feels balanced. Three feels complete. Use it in sentences, scenes, and character arcs to add rhythm, clarity, and impact. Master it, and your writing sticks. Follow for more ✍️🔥 #WritingTips #AmWrit

Balancing my MCs navigating of her trauma while also advancing the story of a missing girl and the attempt to murder my MC is currently a hell of a tightrope. Fun though. I think 🤔 😅 #amwrit

Wrote 3k words today on the current WIP. I've reached a weird point where I realize I've messed up but i can keep going so, since this is a sloppy copy, I'm pushing ahead. It's actually going well so far but I feel like I'm telling more than showing, a problem. #amwrit

And done. 3140 words written today. Switched POV at the end and we'll see how this looks. One thing I'm not liking is this is a transition book in a way. This WIP sort of exists to set up Goblin King and I'm not a fan of that. We'll see how it shapes up. #amwrit

Hmmm, do you think if this novel opens with my MC in bed with his pregnant mistress I should directly mention his also pregnant wife right away? Seems like the thing to do. Burying the lead on that says a few things huh? #amwrit

I think in a lot of ways my ambition will be my downfall. I can't cheat when it comes to writing so I can finally stretch my wings with something intellectually and creatively. I'm finding, I have limits though and my attempts to exceed them are quite revealing. #amwrit

Wrote over 4k words today. Feels like I'm on the right track but not quite. Most of this is extraneous but it felt good to let things go and write. Probably going to start another project soon, something away from my current projects. Till tomorrow #amwrit

Huh, that's an idea isn't it? #amwrit

I may be attempting to find historical documents, like blank versions of things, and then adding them to a fragment of this vampire novel. Because shits not complicated enough I guess. #amwrit

Trick or treats in the writing room this morning, including a character who meets a ghoulish end 👻👀 #HappyHalloween #samhain #amwrit

It's occurred to me over the years since I wrote it, SANTA'S COMING at its core is grief horror with slasher elements. It's really a story about a teenager who in a very real way can't let go and it drives her to destroy her life and others. #amwrit

AdviceToWriters : My advice to young #writers is to read. Find an author whose attitude you share and study the author’s work. Learn by imitating until you find your own voice, keeping in mind that style comes out of attitude. ELMORE LEONARD #amwrit… )

AdviceToWriters : On a good working day, working from nine o’clock in the morning to two or three in the afternoon, the most I can write is a short paragraph of four or five lines, which I usually tear up the next day. GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ #amwrit… )

AdviceToWriters : You can only write regularly if you’re willing to write badly. You can’t write regularly and well. One should accept bad #writing as a way of priming the pump, a warm-up exercise that allows you to write well. JENNIFER EGAN #amwrit… )

AdviceToWriters : #Revision is when you first get to recognize the distance between what you wanted to write, what you thought you were #writing, and what you actually did write. That recognition often makes you want to throw up. CAROLYN SEE #amwrit… )

Just seeing this shelf makes my younger self so excited to see my name on so many books. Don’t worry, I will be adding more in the future to this shelf collection. Potentially even some swag while I’m at it to add to my walls. #indie #indieauthor #amwrit… bit.ly/2udoUSX

AdviceToWriters : I believe that my gift in this world is not that I'm smarter or more talented than anyone else: it's that I had a singular goal. I don't want other stuff: friends, kids, travel. What makes me happy is #writing. ANN PATCHETT #amwrit… )

AdviceToWriters : James Joyce is a good model for #punctuation. He keeps it to an absolute minimum. There’s no reason to blot the page up with weird little marks. I mean, if you write properly you shouldn’t have to punctuate. CORMAC McCARTHY #amwrit… )
