Romance Writer, wishing I was on a beach right now 🌈🏝️🌅⚓💞 | she/her 💖💜💙 | Paradise Lost & Found is available now!

[Jennifer Knightley 📚💙✨ @JennyKnightley]

I wrote most of this book during lockdown when I could only dream of dipping my toes in the ocean again, and when becoming published author was something I hoped might happen someday, somehow.

Now I'm standing on a beach holding a copy of my book 🥰💙✨

As a Reminder:
Reading does not occur in the eyeballs.
It occurs in the brain.
People can use their eyeballs to read.
People can use their fingers to read.
People can use their ears to read.
It is all reading!
Any definition otherwise is ableist.
Bless.

i’ve got a cover AND i’ve got a questionable sense of humor.

Remember: It’s okay to buy more books. It’s okay to get more books from the library. It’s okay to buy books you won’t read for years. It’s okay to pile books everywhere. It’s okay to get different editions of the same book. Books are awesome. Do whatever makes you happy.

i love the advice "write the book you want to read" because not only do you get the story you always craved, you also get to force everyone else to be super invested in the weird little daydream you just made up out of nowhere

my psychiatrist doesn't understand that what I need is to ride gingerly in a carriage (I am quite frail, quite weak) to the beach where the crashing waves and the salt air will reinvigorate me. and if I should meet a dashing suitor during my sojourn in the bluffs,

jeff and will were kind enough to have me on the big gay fiction podcast to talk about game misconduct. if you'd like to hear more about my writing process, niche interests, and influences (as well as my inability to speak concisely, rip) check it out. 😊 https://t.co/gYazxQXdDc

I was accused of gatekeeping writing a couple of times yesterday, and I find it hilarious, because here’s the secret: do you have a pen, a sheet of paper or a notebook? Write. This is all you need. But if we’re being honest, this isn’t what you—the AI Cheerleader—want, is it?

Do I sometimes wish my story ideas would write themselves? Yes.

Do I actually mean that? No.

What I actually mean is that I wish I had:

- time to write
- uninterrupted time for ideas to germinate and inspiration to strike
- a quiet space away from a busy home to write in

A group of writers is called a procrastination.

AI is stealing. It's a misnomer. Scraping ideas from other people and jumbling them into something 'new' is not intelligence. It's not creative. It's not art. It's not writing. It's stealing.

[Jennifer Knightley 📚💙✨ @JennyKnightley]

Turning an idea into words on page is what writing is all about, and it's what makes it fun! Sometimes the finished work looks completely different to my idea because the act of writing unlocks and shapes new ideas I would never have dreamed of before. That's writing.

[Oliver Darkshire 🌈 @deathbybadger]

on some level all this AI stuff makes me really desperately sad because writing and art and music are not magic (no matter what anyone tells you) and you don't actually need talent, just patience, anyone can make real art if they try

Excellent thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Amalie/AR Frederiksen @ARFrederiksen]

The thing is, though, novelists are novelists because they actually like the act of writing. So promoting software to and by writers that is meant to do the writing for them seems incredibly counterintuitive and shortsighted. To me, that's the biggest fallacy here.
