“I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.”

For all authors, your life is a part of your writing and novel, even if you write science fiction. Your life in some way always makes it into your writing. ...Keep Writing. #amwriting#amediting (Genius Art/Comic by @inkyelbows)
There is a peacefulness that comes with discovering your passion for writing. Even though it may be hard, you know this is what you are meant to be doing. -Joy @joydfanning #amwriting ...Keep Writing.
I used the Macon/Bibb county libraries and @georgialibs as a kid and support them as an adult. What an embarrassment that local politicians (NOT the voters) want to turn this into the only county in GA without a funded public library system. For shame! https://t.co/OeQr4lFZ2D
If you become discouraged just take a look at your bookshelf. Every author whose book is there has gone through moments just like you are now. They were able to persevere and so can you. -Joy @joydfanning #amwriting ...Keep Writing.
"Write. Just write. Start. And read as much as you can. Read widely and read different things, and sometimes while immersed in the multitude voices of others, you just might find your own."- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie #writing
My family & all of my #amwriting friends know how much happier I am on good #writing days. My mood sours when I struggle to crank out ~500 words. & on days that I manage ~2K, I feel like I'm on top of the world. Anyone else feel the same?
Every written word moves the story forward. Sometimes the words leap onto the pages filling several chapters and sometimes...the pace is maddeningly slow. @KarlamHull#amwriting#GrievanceCollectors
Last week I wrote two chapters instead of my usual five, which sucks. But writing something is better than writing nothing at all. So I keep on keeping on.
