Shocked to wake up this morning to discover my manuscript hadn't written itself overnight.

@GameOverStation That's so great! I'll look him up. I wonder if he accepts international submissions? That waiting period is always excruciating!

[Catherine Landy @CatherineLandy1]

Writers! Tell me about how you got an agent, and if you're agent querying - what challenges are you facing? Keen to hear. xx

Me waiting to get my manuscript assessment back...

[Catherine Landy @CatherineLandy1]

@CamilleASinger Oh I love that! It's what I'll tell myself as I buy another book.

[Catherine Landy @CatherineLandy1]

Are you cheating on your manuscript if you read a book when you should be writing? #guilty #writerlife

Pretty sure Iphone notes was designed for writers at parties who're trying to look like they're using Snapchat and having a great time. #writerlife

My cat wanted undivided attention and I wanted to write so we compromised and now I'm giving my cat undivided attention. #writerlife

Skipping hard parts of my manuscript when editing because I'll be a totally different person when I come back to it in an hour. #writerlife #writingfail

Dear #writers

One of the hardest parts of writing is continuing to write even when the glow of newness fades from your SHINY IDEA.

That's when real work sets in.

Don't fall for the next SHINY IDEA. Finish the 1st one ok?

YOU GOT THIS!

There is no Game Over in writing.

If you get rejected, you still have more chances.

If you shelve a book—still more chances.

If you rack up over a thousand rejections, YOU STILL HAVE MORE CHANCES.

There is only one way to fail at this, and it’s by giving up.

@LynetteNoni I just finished whisper and from the first page to the last I was gripped. Loved it! Thanks for creating such an awesome story. #sequel?

@angsavage I'm so glad you said that. I'm about to start a new manuscript and am already thinking too much about the opening. Need to put the blinders on.

Writers! What are your top 3 golden rules for writing a novel?
Substituting ink for the blood of your enemies? 12 coffees? Have at me. #writerlife #writing #tips

@project_lectito I recently bought and devoured Neverland in one afternoon. Absolutely loved it! Congrats on such a beautiful, creative book.

Bending the corners to mark your place in a book. #howtobreakawriter

@sudesna_ghosh Walking is great too! I always find I can think more clearly about my writing when I'm walking rather than running.

[Catherine Landy @CatherineLandy1]

Anyone else find that going for a run is the best way to get their creative juices flowing?
