#WritingCommunity what unusual #writingtips have you heard of that actually worked?

Mine: A #writer friend told me to use Comic Sans to write & I'd write more per session. It worked! I still use it even if I can't explain it! 😂🤷‍♀️

What are some ways to reveal a character’s backstory without exposition?

[Hals is closed to queries✨ @halswarrington]

I'm very happy to announce I've been promoted to Junior Literary Agent at the Booker Albert Literary Agency! It's an honor to work with and learn from the great agents at this agency.

You heard it here first--I'll be opening to queries on JUNE 1ST!

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@mcmuhlenkamp Thanks so much! I'm almost there and seeing this was the perfect lift for today! ♡ 😊

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

80% done with my YA Fantasy & right in the middle of #writing the "last 100pgs" of the book, where everything is chaos & wondering how in the world is the #author going to fix it & then I remember, I'm the #writer Send help! 🤣🤦‍♀️#writerslife #WritingCommunity

Not every story will sell. But every story you finish teaches you how to write the one that will. No work is wasted. #writingcommunity #amwriting #amquerying

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

I love this. It helps me push through those *confusing* parts. It can be fixed later, it just has get on paper 1st.

Remember this when you're writing your first draft...❤️

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

For any writers down in the self-doubt trenches. ♥️

[rachel mcmillan 🇨🇦 @rachkmc]

speaking as someone who has written 20+ books in several genres and as someone who represents 30 + authors in several genres the mere FACT that you have WRITTEN a freaking book deserves all the applause in the world

this s**t is HARD

you are a GOLD STAR

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

As a writer how can you not support other writers?

Just looking at my literal hundreds of books on my shelves & hundreds of other books on my kindle. There's room for every. single. one.

I hope yall make it. Better yet, I hope yall make it to my shelves!

[G. F. Allen @AuthorGFAllen]

I’ll leave this here. ❤️

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@AmyNielsen06 Probably in the minority here, but I honestly appreciate the form pass. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE feedback passes, but I'd rather get a form pass over a "never hear anything" pass, which has happened. Agents are superstars!

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@AlisonLyleBooks Especially at night... in bed... when you're trying sleep, after a long day of writing. They definitely can't shut up then! 🤣

[Luna McNamara ✨ THE WITCH & THE HUNTRESS out now @McnamaraLuna]

Become a writer! It’s like having homework every night for the rest of your life

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@McnamaraLuna Hahaha 😁 I love this!

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@Lizzie_Chantree I do 3k/day. I'm so close to having this rough draft done. (I already know what's going to happen, I just have to get it down.) I'll be done in 1-2 weeks & then I'll switch to editing for 1-2 hrs a day.
I find it easier to keep a daily habit than having to restart after a break.

[Ashlee MacCallum @_ashleedani]

While I am not open to queries just yet, I have a #MSWL profile you can check out for a preview on what I'll be looking for in the future! 😉

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@SheenaH33 I love this! I always point out murders and now out 11yo is doing it. The looks we get are hilarious. Some kids point out cows, mine point out murders. 🤷‍♀️😂

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@sanchez_m_m I love that you did this poll bc I've thought about switching to Scrivener for a while. Currently, I use Gdocs for writing & Word for editing. It sounds like Scrivener is better, imo, bc I didn't know about the app. I'd love to be able write from anywhere using my phone!

[Janelle Schiecke @J_Schiecke]

😂😅 Yep!

[TheScribblyPen @TheScribblyPen]

@PauleneTurner Perfect MCs are annoying. Gimme the flawed ones all day, everyday! (Also, how exactly is there supposed to be character "growth" if the character is "perfect"?!)
