Another Myth for your Monday! Co-founder Reed Hastings wasn't inspired to start Netflix after being charged a $40 late fee by Blockbuster. He made the story up to summarize Netflix's value. The founders were actually inspired by Amazon. #mythmonday#TheMoreYouKnow#Netflix
Do you track your writing time? Should I be tracking how long it takes me to write? Does that help you plan better??? 🤔 #WritingCommunity#momswritersclub
I feel like killing a beloved character is sort of a rite of passage for authors. I haven't done it yet but I also can't just murder a character for the heck of it.
...or can I?
Anne Lamott's book "Bird by Bird" is one part instruction for writers and two parts self-help advice for writers and honestly, I am here for it. @AnneLamott your words are inspirational and timeless. #birdbybird
Here's a Myth for your Monday- The Chevy Nova is said to have failed in Latin America because in Spanish "no va" means "it doesn't go." In reality, it actually sold pretty well. People didn't honestly believe they would sell a car that didn't work.🙄 #mythmonday#TheMoreYouKnow
“This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and ou put one word after another until it’s done. It’s that easy, and that hard.”

@BornAngelAuthor Consider trying a social media scheduler! I set up a bunch of posts once a week then I hop on for a few minutes each day and just do as much interacting as my brain can handle. I totally agree it can be exhausting. It doesn't help that every platform wants constant engagement 😑
Judging based on the fact that I wrote a simple outline and then completely ignored it while writing my book, I suppose I’m a plantser. 🤷🏼♀️ #WritingCommmunity#amwriting
@TimothyJickles From what I’ve heard/read, you just have to be very careful with it. It can be done well, you just don’t want to pull the reader out of the story (like if they have to really think about it to figure out what the character is even saying).
