Books be good as hell….. I feel bad for people who don’t read for fun. They missing out big time.

[Despoina Kemeridou @DKemeridou]

I'm so tired of all the writing rules.

"Don't do this", "Don't do that", blah blah blah...

You know what? I'll do what I want.

My book. My story. My characters.

If I'm not allowed to write however I want, how am I supposed to have my own voice as an author?

There IS an audience for me and my stories/poems, even if it's not a big one, and I don't mind.

Regrettably, I must confirm that marketing my books frequently does, in fact, result in more sales 🫠

“30 is so old.” you’ve only been here for three decades. in two of them, you couldn’t drink, rent a car, or even be fully responsible for yourself. please wake up. you are a FRESH flower in the garden of life

[SedonaCAuthor @SedonaCAuthor]

Omg I had 7 more book sales! 🥹 my author heart is so happy right now.

[Marc J Gregson @MJG_Write]

14 years ago this month, I sent out my first queries to agents.

Since then:
Five shelved books
Hundreds of rejections
Nine years

And then:
Agent offer
A book trilogy deal
NYT bestseller
Six foreign translations
Another book deal
A film announcement
A screenplay

How to be a writer:
1. have an idea (or twenty)
2. be delusional enough to think you can execute it
3. do it poorly
4. make it better

[Charlotte Goodwin 🇬🇧📚🪖 @AuthorGoodwin]

I've been told my protagonist needs to be more flawed...

I'm struggling with this a little.

Are there any flaws I can slot in without redesigning her character completely?

[J.C Curry @JustinCcurry]

Hmm maybe I will, screenplay incoming

Friends are soul mates too. There is so much love in a real genuine friendship.

[J.C Curry @JustinCcurry]

Is this even a real thing ?

[Stephen Black @stephenRB4]

AI written novels suck. Pass it on…

[Melissa Muhlenkamp @mcmuhlenkamp]

But as a writer who wants to sale her books, I’m also an entrepreneur. It’s insane that I didn’t come to this realization sooner. But I’m here now. No, I’m not crazy. Yes, publishing today is more intense and more competitive than ever before…

[Indie Book Spotlight @BookSpotlight]

The book community would not be anything w/o our artists, our designers, our narrators and/or everyone else involved in making these books happen. If you use gen AI, you’re announcing your lack of respect and solidarity for everyone involved. So why would any of us buy your book?

[Kayla Hicks 📚 @klhicks912]

It is wild I came to have the author career I have today. Never in a million years would I thought it possible.

I had people tell me my writing was bad, an unsupportive mom who dismissed my writing at its earliest stages, and no access to books growing up.

Yet here I am with 18 books under my name and all of you wonderful people

[Tim Grahl | Writing Coach @StoryGrid]

Your protagonist must protect their core values, not just chase treasure like a morally flexible raccoon.

[Maliha @CaffeinatedLiha]

Reading books about morally gray characters while ignoring my own questionable life choices. Literature is a safe space.

[J.C Curry @JustinCcurry]

Publish !!

What’s a writing goal you’ve set for yourself this year?
