"Being an author and writing takes a mental toughness, much like that of being an athlete, it can be you against both outside and inside forces. Hang tough. A moment of joy or experience or growth for you and your readers is worth it." -Wrtr #amwriting Writing.~Change an outlook.
“Writers and authors write one chapter or even one scene at a time. They breathe life into sheets of paper and electronic screens, and make them feel like they are alive for us to read.” -Wrtr #amwriting Writing.
Don't worry if you have a messy first draft. Messy first drafts provide us the soil to grow our story in. Your first draft needs to be a bit messy as you organize and discover new thoughts in your writing, so it has room enough to grow your story in. -Wrtr #amwriting Be Writing.
@cosmic_owl Hey! Congrats on finishing your draft. Here's my working synopsis: Mara Anderson's 24th year began better than she ever could've anticipated, but when tragedy strikes she is left picking up the pieces of a life she's doesn't remember.
Authors and writers come from all walks of life, all with the same goal to write and express what's inside them. Each one voices their story in their own way. Authors courageously share their stories with all of us. #amwriting Keep Writing.
“Reading is the creative center of a writer's life. You cannot hope to sweep someone else away by the force of your writing until it has been done to you.” -Stephen King #amwriting
~ I love this quote as a writer, as it gives me one more reason to read. 😀 Be Writing.
Writing is that one thing that you can do for yourself, that costs nothing, and that raises your spirits. Your story is you. -Wrtr #amwriting Be Writing.
One of the best things about writing is that you don't need formal training to create a powerful story. All that is required is a passion and drive to create what lives in your heart. - Joy @joydfanning #amwriting Be Writing.
Sometimes it takes faith and courage to get up and write every day. So that later on in a future draft, you can improve on your writing. #amwriting#amediting ...Keep Writing.
As authors and writers, we put everything we have into our books, our worlds, our thoughts. And we never quite know who they will touch. The hope is that they will reach out to someone out there. -Wrtr #amwriting#writerslife Keep Writing.
Sometimes as an author, you know that a book isn't going to be a hit, but also as an author you know you have to write it. It's part of your growth as a writer and part of who you are as an author. -Wrtr #amwriting Writing.
