@debbieward1971 I just shrug and say “it’s just not my thing” and that usually does it 🤷‍♂️

@PhoebeALee I try to write every day. No matter what. Even if it’s just a sentence. A word. Anything so I can at least say I tried today. It’s all about repetition. They say it takes 10,000 hrs to master something. I firmly believe it takes a writer 10,000 hrs to find their voice.

Morning Meditation 🧘 and a coffee ☕ really help with getting in the mood for a long workday. What do you do to start your day?

@Nickyshearsby22 I start after work. So 2pm. Grab my 3rd coffee and stare at my screen for an hour screaming internally that I’m an impostor. Then I write for about 2-4 hrs

@DanielBGreene I’m appalled. Have you ever seen a mole? Moles take the 🏆

@theresalkrupp Essential? Twitter. And that’s strictly due to pitch events. Otherwise, Tiktok/ Instagram/ Pinterest/ Youtube are probably the best way to interact with readers

@JamieRenwick Nope. Nose is too deep in the cup of coffee

@SammiLeighM At least they felt compelled enough to write you a rejection. Most I ever get is “we didn’t feel like it would be a good fit for our company/brand” 😒 2 paragraphs max. I’d welcome some cut throat criticism from them but….🤷‍♂️

@Tulsa_Ghoul I try not to ever DNF unless the book is pushing bigotry. But even then I’ll give it a shot in case the ending is flipping the whole conversation. But it rarely does… 😮‍💨

@wordsandmuses Whatever @lofigirl is playing

@blujreviews 🤷‍♂️

Maybe there’s another go. Idk. I try not to fret over anything I can’t control (keyword is try. I’m only human after all.)
