Gmorning!
You're gonna make mistakes.
You're gonna fail.
You're gonna get back up.
You're gonna break hearts.
You're gonna change minds.
You're gonna make noise.
You're gonna make music.
You're gonna be late, let's GO

This story has lived in my head for 7 years, a perfect, story-shaped thing, and now I have to perform the strange and impossible transmutation from brain to page and basically what I'm saying is NO PRESSURE, SELF.

[Victoria/V.E. Schwab @veschwab]

If you read a book, rate it.
If you loved a book, share it.
If you care about a book, talk it up.

I cannot tell you the strength of word-of-mouth. It is vast. You have power.

Life - sometimes the messier and more raucous the better - is groundwork for writing. Reading is essential groundwork for writing. Thinking is vital for writing. All of these take time.

@Meredith_Jaeger I'm with you!

[Nicole Brouwer @_NicoleBrouwer_]

@TashaSeegmiller @ElaineBVickers Well this is exciting! Also, I have a total CP crush on your group. You ladies are amazing! @erinshakespear @RosalynEves @HelenBozz

[Brielle Porter @briellums]

@AnnieSoulFire Thank you! I think the whole process is about constantly learning and growing. It’s never a waste to keep writing. :)

@rosellewriter This is super interesting. A mood change at those percentages lines up with your plot turns and your midpoint (at least the way I structure). Funny how you get zapped at points of emotional intensity for your characters.

@sbaileybooks @SonjaYoerg Good! Excited for summer.
