As Louie Simmons said (paraphrasing): if you don't have a plan, you're planning for failure. Very true for writing and life, in my experience.

The pen is mightier than the sword but looks much less impressive when strapped across your back.

[Fantasy Author @BrianRathbone]

Writers must first and foremost procrastinate, moan, do laundry, complain about not having enough time to write, and occasionally write.

It's raining and i have to work a double...it feels like a waste of a perfectly good writing day 😢 #writerproblems

As a writer, when I see a person with wild hair and wide eyes ranting feverishly, I just assume they are in the middle of editing a novel.

Coming back to your story and characters after a long absence is like coming home #amwriting #amhappy

[Sam Sykes @SamSykesSwears]

Write what you love. Someone was already going to get mad at you for something else, anyway.

[S.M. Marsh @ThiorthaBooks]

First day in a looong time that i get to write....feels good...feels great, actually #amwriting #amhappy

If I had a time machine, I'd go back and fix all my typos.?#WritersAreWeird

Ah, the first stages of rewriting where you get to see first-hand why first drafts should never be shown to ANYONE EVER #amwriting

[Fantasy Author @BrianRathbone]

My newest rule when writing is: Don't follow all the rules. #amwriting #amediting

[Fantasy Author @BrianRathbone]

I am not my characters, and my characters are not me. They flow through me and onto the keyboard. #amwriting

[Fantasy Author @BrianRathbone]

Writing is a habitual practice; the more you do it, the easier and more necessary it becomes. #amwriting
