If you choose writing as a profession you have to thrive in insecurity. It takes a special type of person to lay their artistic soul out there to be consumed and critiqued. Your works are a product of bravery.

I'm sick of female characters in fiction using a masculine standard when portraying strength. Women's strength does not need to be muscles and snark. We can be soft, calculating, protective, observant, and so many more things that should be celebrated.

I had a 10/10 phone call with a librarian today:

"I'm calling to see if you carry a book."
"Excuse me?!" 😡
"Um... This is a library, right? I'm just calling about a book!"
"Oh! I'm so sorry. I thought you said boner!"

We shared a good laugh 😂

@Bwighthunter It's an American model 👀

@Bwighthunter I hear Hooters has a good set-up 😏

@author_VV Our creative cohort has migrated elsewhere. To be honest, it is better on the other side 😬

How is the #WritingCommunity doing over here these days? Are people mostly lurking or is there engagement?

[Rachel Wight @RachelWight]

@eschaubz Many people have gone elsewhere and, unfortunately, the grass is greener. This platform has programmed creatives to be stingy with their support of each other. That mentality isn't sustainable for a community.

@hankgreen Jenna Marbles. I miss her.

We gotta impress the Jeffersons, Alice!!

Can anyone else relate?

Procrastination is usually fueled by the fear of imperfection. The best writers are great editors, so don't waste your time trying to produce a flawless first draft. Just finish the damn thing!

My artistic desire to write is like Issac Newton's view on energy. The drive isn't created and never destroyed. It only transfers from one idea to the next. And when I think the desire is lost, another artist lends me inspiration to keep going.

My ADHD is winning today. I feel the overwhelmed shutdown coming on as I contemplate my list of tasks. I'm stuck stressing at my desk trying to organize it all into a to-do list.

Send help 😅

I'm convinced there's no better character to write into a story than a chaotic good one. All the better that mine is a nonbinary magical raccoon 🦝

[Rachel Wight @RachelWight]

Being a fiction writer is a funny thing. We use words to transport a reader into a shared imaginative experience then manipulate them into caring about it.
