Don't write because you want to get published. Write because you must do so to live.

@mtpence @trent_reznor Couldn't agree more re: collaborations between Fincher and Reznor. The result is always eerily entrancing.

Today I hit 10,000 followers.

I've been a lurker for years. I was too scared to call myself a writer, that my tweets would get 0 likes.

Most did. But I survived. And connected w/ the most amazing people.

Thanks for making me feel less alone in my journey, for reminding me 👇

A distant, lonely trumpet cried atop a gravel of sharp piano notes and the occasional thum-thum-thum of a hollow bass. Music so penetrating it felt as if it sourced from my bones and ached into my muscles, then branched out in discomforting signals through my nerves. #amwriting

I've finally stopped caring about my daily word count. As long as I am enraptured by the slow, steady discovery of the stories within me, I've gotten what I want from writing. #amwriting #writingcommunity #5amwritersclub

@Melissa59499192 Hahaha. Yep, been there. Sometimes he won't even bother squeezing between, he'll just plop down on the keyboard. Thank goodness for the Undo button.

"The North Dakota autumn filled my lungs with crisp inhales and left behind the woodsy taste of dead leaves, those which were now pasted to the pavement with melted morning frost."

#5amwritersclub, any new lines you're proud of this morning? #amwriting

@ClaireAllan @AvonBooksUK We must summon our muses in whatever way captures their intrigue. Mine seems to change her preferences with every project, and thus I must as well.

Outstanding advice for something I think we've all been through at one point or another. #amwriting

If you feel like giving up on writing, do yourself a favor and take a step back. Forget about publishing for a minute, and write a story for yourself. Write a story that no one else may ever read, but that you love. Write what makes you happy, because that's what writing is about

[Steve Giese @SteveGGiese]

@VtDorch @TarynLDavidson Haha. I like the "trying to get people to watch them" part.

[Steve Giese @SteveGGiese]

@TarynLDavidson Too much, probably, which may be why I need to write. To make time for it all, even if it's just in the form of words.

@ThingsOfBing I'm so interested in this... is it a workshop?

[Steve Giese @SteveGGiese]

Attended a live event with @chuckpalahniuk at @Prairie_Lights last night. Inspiring to see a master muse about his craft. If you ever get the chance, ask him the strangest truth he's ever written about. He's got a fascinating story to tell. #5amwritersclub #amwriting

Why wake up with both eyes open when one serves perfectly well. #5amwritersclub
