Write the story that you're proud of and interested in #writingmotivation #amwriting #writinginspo

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

Life doesn't go as planned. I'm 17,865 words behind my #writinggoal due to a needed break. Can you relate #WritingCommunity?

I'm going to power through and get this #firstdraft done by my original deadline 💪🏻😉

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

Hey #WritingCommunity! I'm back from an extended hiatus (hopefully here to stay). Here are some #writingtips to help you get your start from a seasoned writer!

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@heliofractal Get writing and get reading. Those are two excellent ways to grow your skills and hone your craft

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@kctorawrites I grew up smashed between two fields and never thought I'd like a city. I've settled in the suburbs of the Detroit Metro Area and really like it.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@SuccessfullyCh1 I park it in front of the TV and destress by watching some comfort shows or movies.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

Another #writingupdate! This week I struggled with #writingmotivation, but I powered through and made some more progress on my #WIP. Looking forward to what this week has in store!

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@BCAuthor21 I leave them pristine. In fact, I get a little upset when they get general wear and tear on them.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@HilaryLongTX Absolutely. I spent a whole day researching once and counted that as a day of progress.

@jdkingwrites I was in 6th grade (12 years old) when I discovered my desire to be an author. Since then, I've been honing my craft and writing non-stop

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@brclothwrites Get off at the next port (if allowed) and find another ride back home.

If not allowed, I avoid being secluded at any moment and hope for the best.

@goodreads The Cat Who Lived on High - Lillian Jackson Braun. It's the first book I remember being excited to come back and read more.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@BCAuthor21 Typically, my bedroom. It's the best place to wind down and enjoy a good read withour distractions.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@realeverywriter While I'd like to think I would from all the movies I've watched, I'm far too clumsy to survive.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@MadScientistFF Yes, we just put down my childhood dog before Christmas. She was almost 17 and starting to decline health-wise. We decided it was best for her happiness and well-being.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@ARStone31 I have a general idea of where my story is going then wing it from there! A mix of plotting and pantsing.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@AuthorGoodwin Yes. Of the books turned movies I've seen, the ones that are the closest to their source material had the authors as consultants (like producers).

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@eric5310pub I have 10 different versions of the same document in my Google Docs, all with similar names. None of them are finished 😅

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

Happy belated #michiganday being from northwestern Ohio, I spent my childhood crossing the border for different things and now find myself here to live! #Michigan is beautiful and I can't wait to see more of it.

[Ally MacDonald @authorallymac]

@AuthorGoodwin Yes. To write is to work on writing skills. Even if you trash what you wrote, you were still working to be better.
