Petit à petit, l’oiseau fait son nid.
Little by little, the bird makes its nest.
A French #proverb to inspire #writers everywhere, because every #writer needs a little #inspiration. @Angel_Antin #freelancewriter #iamwriting #amwriting #motivationmonday #motivationalmonday

Don’t be afraid to mix things up! I’m moving @AntinBiz over to a new handle - @AAntinWrites. It more accurately represents what I do as a freelance writer & editor. @Angel_Antin #freelancewriter #iamwriting #amwriting #motivationmonday #motivationalmonday

Don’t overlook local publications as potential outlets for your #writing. Here my #writer pal Jenna Samelson Browning writes about a universal topic for a local #magazine.

Thank you, AP!

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

It's plead, pleaded, pleading. AP style advises against using the colloquial past tense form, pled.

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

Just like a healthy marriage, AP style calls for clear communication.
We also believe in the value of compromise. So as a reminder, the Stylebook doesn't prohibit all Oxford commas. If omitting a comma could lead to confusion or misinterpretation, then use the comma.

All #writers live on #caffeine. When I’m making loose #tea (um, procrastinating) #Kusmi Russian Morning is my fave. I order it from #Zabars. @KusmiTeaUS @ZabarsIsNY #amwriting #iamwriting #writer @Angel_Antin

In her excellent @WritersDigest book on #writing for #magazines, @Kerrie_Flanagan tells #writers to not overlook trade mags. I worked at @MarketWatchMag, & now #write for the #magazine as a #freelancewriter.

Do most #writers create a list of goals on #Monday? I like my Tasks app, which allows me to prioritize. I break huge tasks into steps, sometimes DOZENS of small steps. #writinggoals #writing #iamwriting #amwriting #motivationmonday #motivationalmonday #worklife @Angel_Antin

Let's talk about organizing books by color. Are you for or against?

[Angel Antin @AntinBiz]

In a talk at #denverwomanspressclub, @HelenLThorpe praised 2005 #book by @rsboynton. A superb read for #writers. I’ve read it 4 times! #amwriting #iamwriting #newnewjournalism #newjournalism #tomwolfe #fridayreads @Angel_Antin

[Angel Antin @AntinBiz]

RT: Agreed! Sad reality for #writers. Sometimes I’d rather Windex my glass desktop than actually #write anything. #amwriting #iamwriting #worklife #wednesdaywisdom https://t.co/w4PHrIp9sz

Nothing like having a deadline to motivate you to finally get your desk really, really clean
