You ever write a plot twist that you’re out of your mind excited about, and you can’t wait for someone to finally read? That’s the scene I’m writing right now. I can’t wait until I finish this draft and get my first beta reader on it. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #PlotTwist

Find me on Bluesky. Twitter is obviously not what is was, and I don’t think it will ever recover. https://t.co/iwYivodVZF

It’s finally #NaNoWriMo season again! The perfect time to check in with writer Twitter again. #WritingCommunity

Noble assassin 🗡 Out of place cinnamon roll 🧁 Golden boy city guard ⭐️ My new manuscript has a blackmail marriage, assassinations, a love triangle, magic, and twists that will stop you in your tracks. After 2+ years I’m finally starting revisions!

@writerlysilly Thank you!!!

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

I finished my draft!!! The last line is a cliffhanger 😏 I outlined this #YAFantasy for over a year, started the draft during #NaNoWriMo and 9 months later I’m done with draft one! It feels surreal. #WritingCommunity

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

This is my second outlined, serious attempt at a manuscript. I think I felt more disbelief after I finished my last manuscript because it was the first. This time I mostly feel relief! And excitement that I can finally go back and start working on some big plot edits. #amwriting

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

@TunisiaWilliam3 Thank you for the answer! That is very informative.

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

@Booktipservices Thank you!!

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

I’m finally starting the LAST CHAPTER of draft one of this manuscript!! I outlined this baby for a year and I’ve been writing it for almost another year. Can’t believe I’m so close to the end!! #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #firstdraft

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

@TunisiaWilliam3 Congratulations, that is amazing!! And very uplifting. If you don’t mind me asking, how many requests/partial requests did you get as well?

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

Summer Fridays, skincare appointments, scones, lavender coffee, and writing 😌 #WritingCommunity #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #summerfridays

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

@neilmach She’s a smart one 😉

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

Oh my gosh 🥺 I was going to finish this chapter after writing group tonight, but Midgy is just being so cute (and in my way). Might have to finish the chapter later… #WritingCommunity #amwritingfantasy #CatsOfTwitter

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

Summer Fridays look like they are going to be some of my favorite writing days ✨ #WritingCommunity #amwriting

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

Is there anything better than FINALLY unraveling a huge plot point you’ve been going back and forth on for months? #WritingCommunity #amwriting #AuthorsOfTwitter

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

@TimothyBalding @Reveal_House Yes - it’s from a really delicious cafe!

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

Breakfast vibes for writing this morning. I FINALLY am figuring out some key plot details I’ve wrestled with for months, and I’m nearly at the end of draft one!! #WritingCommunity #amwriting

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

There is something so energizing about seeing a line wrapped through an entire bookstore for checkout. It’s like getting a concentrated dose of inspiration when writing gets difficult. #IndependentBookstoreDay #WritingCommunity

[Kara Rowan @KaraRowanBooks]

It’s #IndependentBookstoreDay - if you haven’t gone to your local bookstore to buy something, what are you waiting for??? Indie bookstores are so important for authors and our communities. Maybe your bookstore has something like this super cool $1 mystery wrapped book!
